 It's such an honour to be here as the first speaker in the inaugural Remarkable Leaders series so thank you to Griffith University and to be here as part of International Women's Day Week is really an honour and it's really appropriate that this year international women say the theme is balance for better because having a balanced workplace, a gender balance workplace is something that's relevant for all leaders not just for women it's not a women's issue so I've certainly never worked necessarily in the environments that have always been gender balanced but over time really come to see what we can all do the small things we can all do to help address it. The more that all of us are opening our eyes to the imbalances that are around us the more we can all be doing those small efforts as part of a collective to see change happen. Griffith has the opportunity to role model what organisations can be doing to really show how serious they are about driving for a balanced workplace and it doesn't matter what your formal title is every single one of us is a leader in our own way and we can all do things every day to help others.
