What makes a good leader? Are they born with leadership qualities or do they grow as one matures. Are the qualities easy to spot as early as the school playground or will life events shape the skills required for an experienced leader?

In todays world - leadership roles whether they are political, religious, community or corporate are scrutinized, admired, envied and occasionally short lived.

My guest today is a part of a new generation of leadership. One that embodies integrity, self-awareness, courage, respect, empathy, and gratitude.

Not everyone is cut out to enter a well established industry in a brand with over 70 years of history, that is synonymous with royalty and lead from the front. But my guest did just that.

She also has had accomplished brand roles in global luxury brands, won awards for her teamwork, is most likely very handy with MYOB and raised 3 primary school aged boys all at the same time.

Please enjoy my chat with Penny Ferguson

What makes a successful start up?  Is it the idea, the people, enough capital or the competitive environment?  Consumers are presented with a new tech start up every week and in the last 2 decades we have seen some incredible success stories - Airbnb, Instagram, Pinterest, Uber & Square to name a few.

But not every startup makes it to the Nasdaq or attracts venture capital. The reality is most startups struggle to make it to year 3.  One the key reasons for failure is a bad partner. So who do you choose? They say going into business with friends is fraught with danger, so is an acquaintance or stranger.

Sometimes it’s better the devil you know.

An anthropologist was recently asked to characterize how the modern dad has changed over the last 50 years.
