Ep 207 Alex Edney, World Vision Australia
from It's All Possible · host Rob Hartnett
Alex Edney is a leader at World Vision Australia, a competitive cyclist and a dedicated family man. Alex and I met on the road during a cycling event and got to know each other better through a shared passion for solving mental health issues through the Knights of Suburbia Cycling Group and the Love Me, Love You Foundation led by our good friend Lance Picioane. In this podcast, Alex and I discuss the challenges of leadership in 2021 after the pandemic year of 2020 in Australia. We talk about how to align teams, creating a culture of openness and collaboration, how to break down silo's and what works and doesn't work. We also discuss work-life integration. Alex also leads diversity at World Vision and we discuss why he took on this new role. Alex competed in the Elite Australian National Cycling Road Race and finished second in A Grade in the prestigious Melbourne-Warnambool race one of the oldest cycling races in the world. To train for this Alex cycles up to 600km a week to prepare. That's more than most people travel in their car. We also chat on cycling at the elite level and the connection to leadership and how he manages to juggle this busy lifestyle.
