Really Interesting Women

Susan Alberti's influence on the business and philanthropic landscape of Australia has been huge (see Part 1 of the interview).  Part 2 explores her enormous influence on her other passion....Australian Rules Football. She has been a pioneer in the men's game and an integral part of the commencement of the professional women's game.

She has a lot of wisdom to pass on to those interested in overcoming hurdles and barriers and succeeding and living a fulfilled life. 

She has just one more goal left to kick.

From very humble beginnings, Susan Alberti AC became a very successful business woman, one of Australia's pre-eminent philanthropists especially as regards medical research in general and Type 1 diabetes in particular. She was finalist in the Australian of the Year...twice. Awarded as one of the most influential women in sport, she was Vice President of the men's Western Bulldogs AFL club and an integral element in the establishment of the elite AFL women's competition.

But the road to these successes and accolades was strewn with tragedy and great personal loss. Her real success, to me, was overcoming these things and continuing on to lead a very fulfilled life.......with one more goal to kick.

Brilliant insight to the benefits of being open to opportunities. Margie Seale gives us a raft of extremely valuable advice gathered through her personal experiences as to how she went from modest corporate beginnings, to become one of the most sought after non-executive directors in the country. 
For those wanting to take the step from corporate executive to non-executive director, we've got you covered here as well.
Rather then just looking at the end product (a successful non-executive director on blue chip boards) and thinking it's very difficult to achieve, it's the many small steps that lead there that are fascinating and revealing to me. 
Life is a journey and it's the wisdom of those that have travelled these roads that is almost essential listening.

A down to earth and inspiring advocate for Australia's remote, rural and regional areas and people. A fabulous, unique and very Australian backstory. But it doesn't all go to plan. Early this year, Susan contracted covid 19 herself. She gives a first hand account of the effect of the pain and guilt she felt. She discusses the repercussions both good....and really bad. A warm and engaging chat with a country politician who has a genuine optimism for the future...as long as there is a steak and a beer thrown in somewhere.
