Purpose & Vision

Purpose & Vision Ep11 : Elle Davidson on place and belonging and Australia‘s first planners.

The importance of place and belonging in our well being. Elle Davidson is an Aboriginal woman from the East Kimberley and is a Town Planner keen to bring to our towns and cities a recognition of indigenous heritage so often neglected. By applying Aboriginal perspectives we get a light touch, that is in sync with country, that prioritises all living beings not just humans. It's a beautiful simple respectful approach that we all can learn so much from. In this episode of Purpose and Vision we explore how this approach when done well leads to better outcomes for all of us.

Purpose & Vision Ep 10: Jason Timor on how indigenous engagement within the workplace can spark real impact.

With so many complex problems facing humanity at the moment, is now the right time to seek wisdom and connection through civilisations that go back thousands of years? The answers could well be here and many organisations are recognising the value of deeper indigenous connection for a host of reasons. Jason Timor, from twopointco develops mutually beneficial partnerships that create pathways for Indigenous Australians, and most important of all have real impact in the community. And in doing this great work they empower the organisations to think very differently in the process, creating solutions that are holistic and providing insights and solutions for the best possible outcome for both parties.

Purpose & Vision Ep 9: Shirley Chowdhary on influence, leadership, partnerships and diversity.

In episode 9 we hear from a woman with huge influence. Someone named as one of AFR's 100 women of influence in fact! Shirley Chowdhary has an extraordinary diverse range of skills but is so conscious about what makes great teams tick and how leaders can truly inspire success. But it's her work in bringing business and the NFP sector together that is fascinating. Instead of dropping money in a bucket, business needs to align more closely with the purpose of the charity. Get that right, get that alignment and both parties will benefit from years of mutual focus and create a sustainable future together.

Purpose & Vision Ep8: Simon Goff on how purpose can move people to remake the world

According to Simon Goff, the Global Managing Director of Purpose, the time for businesses to step up is right now. Those that do are really reaping the rewards for being early movers. But having a purpose is one thing, taking action and having real impact is something else altogether. Purpose build and support movements to advance the fight for an open, just and habitable world. In this episode you'll hear how certain organisations are really starting to recognise the influence they can have in society - making lasting change and enhancing business sustainability at the same time!

Purpose & Vision Ep7: Liz Cameron-Smith on PWC's The Impact Assembly and how it enables collaboration for social change.

Has the time come for Business to step up? Is the momentum shifting where businesses recognise that they can’t keep doing what they’ve always done…they have to start thinking about the bigger picture and how that what they are doing has environmental and social impact. Liz Cameron-Smith recognised several years ago that something needs to shift, and so went out about creating  the Impact Assembly, a social venture designed to enable collaboration for social change. But she did all of that within the confines of one huge worldwide business, PWC. The work they are doing is all about collaboration and it's tackling big big issues but...it's having real impact.
