Jane Burns - Professor, Suicide prevention expert, Board Member, Mother, Mentor, Advisor & Strategist
On today’s episode I am super excited to introduce you to an Amazing woman who manages to fit what seems to be an entire week's work into a single day. She is a professor, suicide prevention expert, Board Member at the NDIA, Chief strategist at TogetherAI, Committee Chair at Open Arms Veterans & Families Counselling, Chair at Swiss8, former Chair at Streat and helped setup Beyond Blue. Today’s guest is Professor Jane Burns a true role model for women all over and a proud mother of 3!
Did you know that she was part of raising $41.3 million dollars during the lock-down, without meeting the investors face to face, what an achievement. She prides herself on authentic communication & engagement and hoe effective this can be with maintaining relationships during lockdown. She prides herself on running her week in a flexible manner, much prefers phone communication over email and loves working with early stage startup founders and teams. She is a big advocate for artificial intelligence and the developments some amazing women are making in this space.
She proudly sits on the board of the NDIA and draws directly upon her experience with a child with disability. It's a big passion project for her, her 15 year old son Angus, her oldest child has been a huge beneficiary of the program. She has faced her own set of challenges with gender equality and being a working mother.
Some fun facts about Jane:
She is a part-time marathon runner.
She has a maiden name of Mudge, with the nickname of Mudgey!
She is a proud mother of 3.
She was flying to Sydney & Canberra at least 3 times per week, before lock-down.
She broke her shoulder running during lock-down, ouch!
Hear from one of Jane's colleagues here:
Lauren Moss - Minister for Seniors at Northern Territory Government
"It has been a pleasure to be involved with the Youth Brains Trust for the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre and have the opportunity to see this inspiring woman in action! The passion that Jane has for improving the wellbeing of young people is constantly evident, she is a fabulous presenter and I am excited to see the achievement of projects that she is on the forefront of!"
