Lisa Annese on Community, Leadership and Advocacy with CEW

I tried to cheat and get ChatGPT to help me write today's intro, and it gave me a bunch of waffle about how Chief Executive Women sounds like a group that comes together to drink champagne and whinge about their husbands.  That tells you everything we need to know about AI bias.  In reality, CEW's 1300 members oversee more than $750 billion in revenue, and they're the most senior women in corporate Australia.  Today's guest is their CEO, Lisa Annese. Lisa came on the podcast previously in her role as the CEO of the Diversity Council of Australia, where she spent a decade creating the first National Index on Workplace Diversity and Inclusion, conducting seminal research into the economics of the gender pay gap and so much more.  Now she's working directly with the women who have the power to drive change. Lisa has been named one of the AFR's 100 Women of Influence. She's on the board of non-partisan organization Women for Election. She served on the New South Wales Women's Advisory Council and the Respect@Work Council. She's been awarded a medal for significant contribution to the Australian Public Service and is a member of Chief Executive Women alongside being their CEO. Chief Executive Women's mission is simple: women leaders empowering all women. If you've ever wondered what happens when you put 1,300 of Australia's most successful women in a room together, you're about to find out.
