At Aleda, we know there are consistent dimensions of what great leadership looks like, and we are exploring the great power of each of them during our Summer Series “Success Leaves Clues”.

On every Empowering Leaders episode we hear from people at the top of their industries. They soar in the areas of sports, business, social venture, education, the arts and more.

When it comes to the dimension of successfully creating and sharing a VISION, we have hand-selected the phenomenal group of people you’re about to hear and learn from. 

Creating and sharing a VISION that gets traction and has impact is a valuable skill, but as the following group of guests reveal, it’s a skill within reach for anyone who puts their mind to it.

Featuring:
[02:05] NIC NAITANUI - whose legacy as an Australian rules footballer is as significant as anyone in the modern era. The overall number two draft pick in 2008 - of Fijian heritage - went on to be a three time all Australian, two time West Coast Eagles best and fairest and played with athleticism and power, the likes of which the game hadn't seen before.
[05:00] ANDY FRIEND - one of the most respected coaches in world rugby, former head coach of the Brumbies, Australian Men's Rugby Sevens. Andy recently launched Performance Friend, a consultancy business, supporting highly scrutinised leaders across many fields.
[07:05] KURT FEARNLEY - the incredible Australian wheelchair racer & Paralympic gold medalist who famously crawled the treacherous Kokoda Track without his wheelchair.
[10:45] VANESSA FORD - chief operating officer of Kukua, a Kenyan based education entertainment company that has a primarily female executive team - AND the executive producer of the first African animated superhero series, Super SEMA, where the main character SEMA is an African superhero whose superpower is using her mind and science and technology. 
[16:34] BELINDA STOWELL - the Olympic gold medal winner from the Sydney Olympics who now leads other athletes to Olympic and world championship glory. 
[17:45] The Honourable WILL ALSTERGREN - Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court, which puts him at the coalface of family and gender based violence in Australia, an issue he tirelessly campaigns against in and out of the courtroom.

A huge thank you to all the guests featured in this episode and if you want to hear more from any of them follow the link to the full length, in depth conversations they each had with Luke in 2024.
