June 09Kate Baker - Finding kindness in a sometimes unkind world
Kate was a leader for much of her 23yr career in NSW Police where decisions she made on a daily basis could mean the difference between someone surviving or dying. If you've ever considered becoming a supervisor, leader or manager in ANY career, you'd do well to listen to Kate & what she's learned works best (& what doesn't!!). Kate was always honest, kind & respectful but not everyone held the same values. Kate loved the majority of time she spent in Policing but it was when she began to feel she wasn't valued as a person, she decided to walk away

Kate's book is titled "STAYING KIND IN AN UNKIND WORLD"
Kate is the Founder & Director of "THE KIND REBELLION"
Kate provides keynotes & workshops on subjects including Leadership Development, Organisational Culture, Ethical Leadership, Psychological Safety & Diversity & Inclusion

May 12 Lisa Boaden - a story of strength & courage
PLS NOTE: THIS PODCAST DISCUSSES EXTREME VIOLENCE & SUICIDE. THINK CAREFULLY IF THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR YOU TO LISTEN Lisa Boaden's childhood was marred by violence by her father who spent time in a mental health hospital. Her mother, like so many women from years gone by, stayed because she had no choice. Lisa is now 57 & can still recall distressing & disturbing incidents which from when she was 5yo. It reiterates the importance of protecting children from harm, both physical & psychological as much as we can because the repercussions can last a lifetime. Lisa shares some insights into the horrendous process of 'shock treatment' her father endured & which she was forced to watch. Domestic Violence was constant in her young life & she has spent a lifetime trying to make sense of it all.

April 28 Katrina Casaclang - An advocate you'd want in your corner
Katrina takes us through what she learned from her 13yr career with NSW Police, leaving at the rank of Sergeant. Her passion for helping those less fortunate is obvious through roles she's performed since Policing. SONDER is an organisation which provides individualised help & support for those affected by a critical incident in their workplace (this includes Police but also other organisations) & her role as a Forum Sentencing Facilitator was of significant interest to me. Forum Sentencing (managed by NSW Attorney General's Dept) is a restorative justice program which provides alternative sentencing options in local courts. Katrina now runs her own business, Valued Asset Coaching which helps organisations provide better leaders.

April 14 Sarah Gibbs expected more upon ringing Police
Sarah Gibbs story is every woman's worst nightmare. She was walking alone along a designated bush track when she was approached by a stranger. The man made sexually suggestive comments, touched her & then grabbed her wrist. Sarah managed to escape & frantic, rang the Police. Sarah waited 3hrs for Police who then advised her there was nothing they could do. Sarah was gobsmacked. It was only after she uploaded a post on Facebook that Police's response changed.

March 31 Dr Vince Hurley - Speaking out on ABC's Q&A for Domestic Violence survivors
Vince Hurley had heard enough. He'd sat there in the audience of ABC's Q&A listening to politicians discussing gender based violence & reached boiling point. His 3 minute dressing down of the politicians went viral but he had facts & experience to back up what he was saying. Being a NSW Police Officer for 30yrs & a Criminology Professor, he spoke with conviction & the panel looked like deers caught in headlights. He wanted them to stop the talk & actually do something to address the issue....

March 17 Kirsty Prince - The price she paid for reporting a crime
PLEASE BE WARNED THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE & DESCRIPTIONS
Kirsty Prince was working for Corrections New South Wales as a Junior Corrections Officer when she received a picture on her mobile from her supervisor of his genitalia. The picture was also sent to four children, one being 9yo. He tried the sympathy vote with "Its going to kill my wife, I've been very stressed, it was a mistake or I'll lose my job if you tell anyone". But Kirsty was having none of it. Kirsty believed she'd be supported & the matter would be investigated. It WAS investigated & somehow, Corrections NSW decided to reinstate her supervisor without ever consulting her.

March 03 Dr Lili Paquet - Researching Women & Crime
Dr Paquet's Phd was in crime fiction, a natural extension of her passion for true crime which she's held since her early 20's. Dr Paquet's research includes what it is about true crime which attracts women in particular. She provides much food for thought, particularly in relation to the popularity of true crime podcasts. Dr. Paquet has published books, papers & articles about women & crime including articles such as “Seeking Justice Elsewhere: Informal and Formal Justice in the True Crime Podcasts Trace and The Teacher’s Pet.” & “Can victim-survivors of violent crimes find justice through true crime podcasts?”

February 17 Richard Brooking - Lawbreaker to Lawyer
Upon his release from prison, Richard found integrating back into society difficult due to perceptions of people who'd spent time in prison. He saw ways of educating prisoners by facilitators coming into the prisons, working with the prisoners & & developing relationships with employers. He also realised lawyers have spearheaded some of the biggest social movements in the world & decided that he needed to understand law to be able to change &/or improve the system & people's biases. Its been a long road but Richard had found his niche. .
