Libby Day: If you’d told 30-year-old me I’d be back in Adelaide in 2025 as a CEO of an industry body, I would’ve said, ‘That’s not me (E6)

In this episode of Leaders Insights, Libby shares her journey, one shaped by curiosity, courage and a willingness to say yes before she felt ready. We talked about: 

  • The difference between mentoring and sponsoring women
  • Self-belief (and why men often back themselves sooner)
  • Leading global teams across cultures before Teams even existed
  • Reinventing herself after 25 years away from Adelaide
  • And the power of having someone say, “You can do this.”


One of the most grounding things she said?

“It’s not about being the smartest person in the room. That’s a very dangerous model for leadership.”

This one’s for anyone navigating change, leadership or a return to where it all began.
