We hope you enjoyed the last season of the Reach Australia podcast, which was based off the 2021 learning labs. In August we'll drop a new season of the Reach Australia podcast, focussed on leading yourself. We have guests like Alan Au, Ray Galea and Al Stewart chatting with Derek Hanna about personal time management, the 11 roles of a leader and personal discipline - which is something we all need in these challenging times of disruption. Look out for the new season coming in August. While you wait, you might like to check out the other podcasts in our network: The One Thing, Church Planting Australia or Home Grown Faith.
