Rebecca Hall on Defining Success, Industry Transformation, and the Importance of Curiosity

Rebecca Hall is, you could say, a bit of an Australian international education legend. For decades, she's driven policy and operational change across the sector, from higher education to vocational ed to all levels of Government. I've known Rebecca for the best part of 15 years, and she taught me some of my favourite consulting techniques - techniques that are as robust today as they were back then! (Post-It Note planning, and decision matrices, anyone?) What's always fascinated me about Rebecca is how she is seamlessly able to glide from one sector or organisation to another without skipping a beat. She's instantly able to capture the minutiae of policy detail, to talk the language, and to work confidently and reassuringly with key stakeholders. It's like magic. But this conversation surprised even me - from how Rebecca ended up in international ed, through to her adventurous travels and career advice, there are just so many actionable nuggets of wisdom in this interview. We talk about: defining success career transitions entry points into international education the importance of learning and curiosity the role of government in industry transformation the impact of technology, particularly AI, on recruitment the need for mutual recognition of qualifications and more.
