Paramedics value continuous improvement. For them, raising concerns can lead to valuable changes in practice that improve outcomes for patients and paramedics. So what type of culture do they have that supports this continuous improvement and how do they create it? Find out in this article, the second in a series of 4 based on a talk that I gave at Agile Australia, exploring what organisations can learn from paramedics about teamwork, collaboration and leadership.

Wrapping up an inspiring year of Women in Sport celebrations, our final event for NSW/ACT was a powerful reminder of the incredible progress we’ve made. This event brought together leaders, mentors, athletes and legends—and the energy in the room underscored the growing demand for recognition and strategic support across all sectors of sport. As we close out 2024, there’s still much work to do in women’s sport. Continued investment, more representation, and diverse leadership are key to driving change. Business leaders and decision-makers, the opportunity to support and shape the future of inclusive sport is here, and we’re excited to be part of it. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re ready to continue celebrating the incredible women leading the way. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event and our host Aurecon—let’s keep pushing forward into 2025 together with Minerva's Jane Spring AM, Carmen Bekker, Gabrielle Curtin, Liesel Wett OAM FAICD and Robyn Danzey leading the way in NSW and the ACT!

Between 2022 and 2023, paramedics from Ambulance Victoria attended over one million incidents. A staggering 95% of patients rated their care as ‘good’ or ‘very good’. When I learned about this I got curious. How do they achieve such remarkable results? To find out, I teamed up with my uncle, Nick Roder - an experienced Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance (MICA) paramedic. Together we explored what organisations can learn from paramedics about teamwork, collaboration and leadership. This is the first in a series of four articles where we will dive into insights and practical techniques from the world of paramedicine that you can apply to empower your teams to do their best work, every day. https://lnkd.in/gFxPqsRD #collaboration #teamwork #paramedicine #AgileAustralia

I'll be honest. I haven't engaged with COP 29 at all these past two weeks. Apart form one video I saw from Al Gore that was the type of call to action I want to see more of. It's very disheartening to see the global leading conference on climate change slowly be whittled away from it's original intentions as it succumbs to being bought out by petrostates more wiling to push fossil fuel agendas. From the chief executive of COP 29 discussing investment opportunities for Azerbajan's state oil and gas company to Azerbajan's president criticising Western fake news claiming oil and gas are gifts from god. It's all starting to resemble some bizarro alternative reality more likely to be dreamt up by the writing room of the Simpsons. I'm still hopeful that a $1.3 trillion deal is able to be brokered to assist the most vulnerable nations that will be affected by climate change - but we will see. What I'm most inspired by however are conversations I get to have with local members of the Sydney climate community. It was amazing getting to hear the climate stories of this great bunch as Olivia Burmester from ProSocia and I co-facilitated a conversation on overcoming Climate Anxiety to show leadership in climate conversations through instilling principles of psychological safety. It was awesome hearing the stories of everyone in the room, the major wins each person has had as well as the challenges we all face in trying to talk more about climate with our friends, families and communities. If there's one thing that fossil fuel companies have done a good job of, it's shifting the blame of climate change onto the individual consumer. What they may not have bargained for however is the individual determination this has instilled in so many people I get the privilege of talking to on a daily and weekly basis. A lot of people tell me it's inspiring the work people in climate do without realising that they're involved in working on climate themselves. No matter what industry or role you're in, your job is a climate job. And the more you can talk about that, the quicker we'll be able to mobilise to take the action we need to. It just starts with being a little bit brave, clearing your throat and having a conversation.

On Thursday Olivia Burmester and I will be hosting a group of people to help them think through how they can show leadership in communicating about climate at Greenhouse. I honestly couldn't think of a more pressing time to show such leadership. COP29 Azerbaijan kicked off and recently the CEO Elnur Soltanov was caught and filmed by an undercover actor promoting fossil fuel deals at the conference. The global conference on climate change is increasingly being sold out to fossil fuel companies to push their own definitions of what climate change is. Just last week, Donald Trump was elected with an overwhelming mandate to dismantle legislation protecting the environment and drill more oil. In his justification he said that all the Environment Protection Agencies are, are organisation's trying to make some money. Mandatory Climate Reporting coming into effect next year - whilst a huge win for the climate sector - has lead to sustainability teams, roles and talent increasingly being viewed as cost-centres by corporate Australia. Some of our best sustainability talent are being viewed as 'burners not earners' which limits the ability for us to make strides in building more resilient and sustainable businesses able to weather not just the climate but economic recession. It's easy to think that your voice won't have much of an effect. It's easy to re-share other people's thought leadership on matters such as climate and the environment. But in essence what does is empower people like the CEO of COP 29 and Donald Trump to keep prioritising short-term profits and sell our futures to the present whilst lining their own pockets and keep false narratives being pedalled. Using your own voice engages your direct community, which might spark someone else close to you to start using their voice, empowering our ability to engage more systematically as a movement. So if you want to learn how you can use your voice, backed by the principles of psychological safety, to empower people to talk more about their climate anxiety and overcome systemic barriers in place, be sure to grab your ticket! We look forward to seeing you there!

Raise your hand if you want to talk about climate more 🤚 Keep it up if you find that difficult to do... If your hand is still hanging in the air, we've got a workshop for you. Alexander from econome and Olivia from ProSocia are teaming up to give you a rundown on taking your first step on talking about climate action 🌿 Grab your tickets for this workshop, happening at Greenhouse on Thursday 14th Nov at 5:30pm 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g9x3yfyR
