My Inspiration For The Week

I’m cheating a bit. Last week I promised to post 3 things that I found inspiring every Friday. Today I’m posting 20.

Last night I attended Consult Australia‘s FutureNet awards night for NSW (magnificently convened by Linda Gaunt). It was a COVID-safe event held in the Grand Ballroom of the ICC in Sydney. There were only 30 people in attendance including 19 of the 20 participants, all 4 of the mentors and the facilitators, like me, who led trainings over the last 6 months. But the event was live-streamed and had many more watching from their devices at home.
These 20 emerging leaders were divided into 4 groups, based on their Strengths Profiles, and entered into a competition to revitalise the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens, damaged after the bush fires.

I honestly don’t know how the judges decided. All 4 designs were outstanding, IMHO, and the presentations were polished and professional.

This group has only met face to face once before – their kickoff night in early March before lockdown.

Their site visit was cancelled so they never actually got to see the property.
