57. Change Makers - Why Are We So Afraid to Be One?

When was the last time you called yourself a change maker, and meant it?I’ve just come back from time at the United Nations and on the ground in Cambodia, and it left me sitting with one question. Why are we so hesitant to call ourselves change makers, especially when our work already shapes people’s lives every day?In this episode, I share what I witnessed in Cambodia. Real people doing real work in complex conditions. Not waiting for permission or chasing the perfect timing. Just showing up and staying with it. I talk about what that means for HR and business leaders in Australia, and why so many of our workplace solutions are still missing the point.If you’ve ever felt stuck between people and performance, or questioned whether you’re making a difference, this conversation will challenge you. I’ll walk you through practical ways to rethink leadership, capability, culture and what real change looks like in your organisation.What’s one practical step you could take this week to start? I’d love to hear your reflections.
