    Juliette is an Australian social entrepreneur who has devoted herself to alleviating poverty and addressing crises since founding GIVIT in 2009.

    What started as a simple desire to donate baby clothes evolved into the creation of a groundbreaking world-first platform that offers efficient and effective disaster relief across Australia.

    Under Juliette's leadership, GIVIT grew into one of the country's largest and most successful donation platforms, garnering endorsements from government bodies and facilitating over 8.5 million donations and supporting over 4,500 non-profit organisations nationally during crises and disasters.

    Juliette's experience in developing innovative IT platforms, navigating stakeholder and government relations and managing rapid growth, positions her uniquely in her current role as CEO of Recovere, a social enterprise that supports international communities to manage donations post-crisis.

    Juliette has been recognised with numerous awards, including being named an Australian of the Year Local Hero in 2015 and receiving the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in 2019.

    In the full episode we talk about:

    βœ… The origins of GIVIT, which was born out of addressing the negative side of donations

    βœ… How she handles the "million conversations" rule of social enterprises and getting past bureaucracy

    βœ… Why and how she leans into anxiety in order to be happy, and

    βœ… Her new role with Recovere and solving the biggest headache in disaster events.

  • 331. How to get your leadership team to think strategically [Minisode]

    "What do I do with a group of leaders who have risen up through functional roles and are now really struggling to work on the business and to be strategic? It's causing a fair amount of chaos and tension across the group."

    Chief, in today's minisode and YouTube video, I'm going to cover the exact strategies you need to use in order to get your leadership team to think strategically at the organisational level.

    The reality is that a lot of leaders are technically great, but they need to get out of their functional roles and into driving the business strategy and the company forward, otherwise they risk pouring their energy and resources into all the wrong places.

    Joel has been named one of the "Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25" by BusinessWeek Magazine, and "Young Entrepreneur of the Year" by the United States Small Business Administration, and "Entrepreneur of the Year" for the Greater Washington DC Region by Ernst & Young, and also recognised on the Inc.

  • 327. Getting the right person out of the wrong role to ensure job fit [Minisode]

    "Sometimes you've got to save them from themselves and have some really honest, heart-to-heart conversations about their role."

    Chief, in today's minisode and YouTube video, I'm going to cover a little problem that has come up repeatedly over the last few years and that is right person, wrong role.

    This is when you have a great employee in your stables, but they're not performing to the standards required of the role. But this is not always what it seems; often this is due to the role not being a good fit for their skill set or experience.

    This can have all sorts of implications on the business, so you need to make some bold calls and have some difficult conversations, but always with respect.

    So today, Chief, we're going to talk about:

    βœ… What you can do as a leader about ensuring you give your employee hope that they can perform and contribute to the organisation.
