In this episode of Battleground Chats, I sit down with my long-time friend and resilience expert, Jodie Wentworth (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodie-wentworth-12896a33/). We delve into Jodie's journey from her early days in the UK, where she stumbled into the field of business continuity, to her pivotal role at London Underground and then in Australia across consulting, utilities and critical infrastructure.

Jodie shares her experiences managing crises, from gas leaks to the 7th of July bombings, and how these events shaped her understanding of resilience. We discuss the challenges of connecting back-office operations with frontline crisis management and the continuous learning required in this field. Jodie also reflects on her consulting career, highlighting the importance of demonstrating value and fostering crisis leadership.

Join us for an insightful conversation about resilience, risk management, and the lessons learned from a career dedicated to keeping organisations prepared for the unexpected.
