Reflecting with gratitude over the past week to be one 1 of 40 people selected to be part of #ForceForty – an initiative by the Government of South Australia to invite young leaders to collaborate and contribute to supporting South Australia in becoming a launchpad for ideas, innovation and influence in our nation.
Thank you to the Department of the Premier and Cabinet team, Alison Lloydd-Wright, Kayla Johnson, Meneka Mendis, Tori Trebilco, Gemma Smyth, for curating this event and bringing us together. While we all came from very diverse backgrounds, industries, work and life experiences, what we shared in common was a passion to make a difference in our industries and change them for the better. Innovation is a state of mind, and one that we all shared. Thank you to Premier Peter Malinauskas for listening to the ideas that came out of the two days, which were skillfully facilitated by the inspiring Dr Gemma Munro.
I’m looking forward to the tangible outcomes that come out of Force Forty, and I’d like to highlight some of the less tangible, yet powerful impacts I believe this initiative has: it demonstrates to people of all ages that we can all be a force for change and push the boundaries of what we believe is possible. It gives us all permission to be pioneers of positive disruption and inspire change in our workplaces, and in our state
