(4.01) Leadership and First Nations - staying in the conversation.
Manage episode 403139712 series 2871203
KG & Paul have always held the position that healthy, productive, and even impactful, leadership practice is one that stays with the difficult conversations - even when these conversations are likely to reveal the most inscrutable, even darker, sides of our own natures. These aren't always comfortable conversations, but they can nevertheless carry a sense of hope and desire for authentic dialogue, mutual understanding and a genuine acknowledgement of the dignity inherent in all of our humanity.
To that end, we had the pleasure of a great yarn with Nicole Major and Melissa Clarke, both from Thirriwirri. We felt it important to continue the fraught but necessary conversation that didn't stop with the 2023 Referendum of a Voice to Parliament - it simply switched gears. Nicole is a Bundjalung woman from northern NSW and Melissa a Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna and Wirangu woman based on Kaurna country in South Australia.
It was a broad and super engaging conversation about their experiences leading up to the referendum, and also their thoughts around what could come next. And not only that, they also brought the wine! (Pretty special). It was a delicious 2021 d'Arenberg 'The Footbolt' Shiraz. A great drop!
