Congratulations to the Australian Chinese Medical Association SA for celebrating their 30th Anniversary this year. It was an honour to be the keynote speaker at their Charity Gala Dinner supporting Citizen Advocacy South Australia Inc, and share my passion for leadership building.
My leadership transformation started in 2017 when I undertook a 12 month leadership program, and then became a leadership coach the following year. Over the years my concept of leadership has evolved to these two sentences:
1. Leadership is not a role, position, or title.
2. Leadership is one life influencing another.
This concept of leadership means that every one of us is a leader. Whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, we are all influencing others on a daily basis through our words, attitudes and actions, and it’s up to us to decide what kind of an influence we want to make.
The calibre of the audience’s participation in our leadership deep dive was formidable! Thank you to the Honourable Chris Picton, South Australian Minister for Health and Wellbeing for your attendence and engagement – looking forward to continuing to collaborate in the leadership space!
We are all leaders. What separates an impactful leader is whether they are conscious and intentional about their influence. As 2022 draws to a close, let’s all reflect on what kind of leadership do we want to consciously cultivate in 2023, for our colleagues, our families and our community
Wishing you all a fulfilling new year!
