Last week we launched our podcast 'I Think' and we are hoping to release a new episode each fortnight (so no this is not a new episode sorry).

In the first series we look at the journey professional leaders take as they transition between an executive career and a board role.

Here in episode one we talk to two inspiring and very different leaders about their board careers. Sue O’Connor has had a distinguished executive and board career, Sue is non executive director at Mercer, Treasury Corporation Victoria, Kordia and ClimateWorks Australia and Chair at Yarra Valley Water and Bush Heritage Australia. 

Our second guest is Lisa Cook. Lisa is the founder and Managing Director at Get On Board Australia, she has held numerous board and advisory roles for Australian College of Professionals, Western Business Leaders and Inclusive Sport SA.
