However, the challenges of \u2018the year that shall not be named\u2019 have demonstrated why it\u2019s important to have leaders who are purposeful, empathetic and dynamic. In particular, more women in leadership positions can bring the diversity of thought and experience that our businesses, boards and institutions desperately need right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of the past year, Women\u2019s Agenda, supported by Salesforce, has been sitting down with women leaders from a variety of industries and backgrounds for the podcast series <a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/the-leadership-lessons\/episodes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Leadership Lessons<\/a>. The discussions centred on the changes that need to happen in the next decade to meet the challenges posed by a rapidly changing world, and the critical role women in leadership will play in rising to those challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Series 2 is out soon, but before you press play, listen back to some of the insights we gleaned from the nine women featured in series 1. Stay tuned for leadership lessons from former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, entrepreneur and activist Raji Ambikairajah, business trailblazer Dr Kirstin Ferguson and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-get-optimistic-but-be-aware\">1. Get optimistic, but be aware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Julia Gillard has witnessed the best of leadership \u2014 and the worst. As Australia\u2019s first female prime minister, she personally experienced the hurdles women in top positions have to clear to be taken seriously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, <a href=\"https:\/\/womensagenda.com.au\/latest\/julia-gillard-on-the-demise-of-strongman-leadership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gillard shares insights<\/a> she has gleaned from years as a politician and public figure about how to deal with sexism and its many manifestations. She also looks to other women leaders around the world including Hilary Clinton, Jacinda Ardern, Michelle Bachalet and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as inspiration for the types of leadership we need to move through the crises we face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/the-leadership-lessons\/episodes\/get-optimistic-but-be-aware-julia-gillard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/Womens_Agenda_Julia_Gillard.jpg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Click to listen here\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-kindness-in-leadership-is-powerful\">2.

At just 21 years old, she has been described as a \u2018human megaphone for Gen Z\u2019 thanks to her work advocating for more representation of youth voices in important decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her conversation with podcast host Kate Mills, Poole shares why it\u2019s important to challenge what conventional leadership looks like, as well as why institutional representation of young leaders is so important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/the-leadership-lessons\/episodes\/kindness-in-leadership-is-power\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/Womens_Agenda_Yasmin_Poole.jpg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Click to listen here\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-storytelling-and-advocacy-have-a-role-in-leadership\">3.

It\u2019s a skill that has helped her as an advocate and executive in a wide range of industries, and something she tries to impress on other women moving into leadership positions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as Casey explains during this episode of The Leadership Lessons, being a great leader means first seeking to understand, and then to be understood. Listen to her conversation with host Kate Mills as she shares the importance of leading by example, her hopes for more flexibility in the world of work and why you should never be afraid to say no to even the craziest-sounding opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/the-leadership-lessons\/episodes\/place-of-storytelling-and-advocacy-in-leadership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/Womens_Agenda_Brianna_Casey.jpg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Click to listen here\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-passion-and-purpose-make-it-happen\">4.

These three traits, combined with her background in engineering and business, have afforded her a wide-ranging career, including a number of leadership positions across tech startups, finance businesses and organisations in the not-for-profit sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, Ambikairajah draws on this wealth of experience to explore why the pandemic has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape the world and create better systems, particularly for women in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/the-leadership-lessons\/episodes\/passion-purpose-make-it-happen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/Womens_Agenda_Raji_Ambikairajah.jpg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Click to listen here\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-extreme-transparency-in-leadership-is-essential\">5.

Although she admits that at first she kept her head down and tried to blend in, now she makes it a point to emphasise diversity and openness as core values guiding her work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As she looks ahead to what skills future leaders will need, Ferguson speaks with The Leadership Lessons podcast host Kate Mills about why radical transparency will be needed to move forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/the-leadership-lessons\/episodes\/extreme-transparency-in-leadership-essential\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/Womens_Agenda_Kirstin_Ferguson.jpg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Click to listen here\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-seize-the-moment-it-could-change-your-life\">6.

Although at the time she didn\u2019t feel ready, today she can confidently say that saying yes to that opportunity was a turning point in her career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, Webeck talks about why it\u2019s important to push yourself out of your comfort zone and not be afraid to say yes to things \u2014 even if you don\u2019t quite feel qualified yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/the-leadership-lessons\/episodes\/seize-the-moment-it-could-change-your-life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/Womens_Agenda_Kirsty_Webeck.jpg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Click to listen here\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-feeling-daunted-by-your-next-move-is-ok\">7.

And as a Yuin woman, she thinks it\u2019s essential to challenge biases and prejudices held against Aboriginals and women in leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode of The Leadership Lessons, Stewart shares how she confronts issues like sexism, racism and general bad behaviour in life and at work. What motivates her to face these issues head-on? As she explains, she is very conscious of her role as a leader, and believes that everyone should think about the legacy they leave behind and the paths they pave for others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/the-leadership-lessons\/episodes\/challenge-assumption-push-to-set-the-record-straight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/Womens_Agenda_Sonja_Stewart.jpg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Click to listen here\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-take-opportunities-to-hit-reset\">9.
