• Leading by example in role modelling the behaviours we hold others accountable to

“No longer is it a quick around the grounds of the AFL and NRL matches at the weekend. Now, we’re getting live updates on Cristano Ronaldo’s hat-trick for Portugal at the Euros, or a Steve Smith double century at Old Trafford in the Ashes.

“As the world becomes more connected through social media and online streaming platforms, I believe the way we consume sport will change. Being in this stage of my career excites me with being able to broaden our listeners’ horizons.

“To be able to grow in my role and help my colleagues around me tell stories in the most exciting possible way is a challenge that I enjoy every day.

“Going forward, I look forward to leading our radio newsroom in telling the stories from the sporting world that inspire everyday people listening to the radio.

“As a leader, I like to embrace an all-inclusive style that helps others contribute to where we are going. No one in a team has ever enjoyed when it’s non-stop captain’s calls about what direction they head in.

“When leadership opportunities arise I like to incorporate all ideas from colleagues while moving forward in a confident fashion.”

“What makes me a future leader is that I have a positive approach and am not afraid to have robust, difficult conversations to ensure that I get the best outcome for each team and overall, the business.

“Each day I bring together key stakeholders within the business and am nuanced in my approach when it comes to navigating the often-conflicting needs of content and commercial. I am one who is fearless and respectful in my discussions whether I am managing up, managing a team, or communicating to my peers.

“As a people leader and mentor, one of my key focus areas is the importance of mindfulness. Through a commitment to self-development I have been able to manage my own relationship with stress, which allows me to contribute more in a coaching capacity. I consistently step up to the challenge and help guide my team to success in our extremely fast-paced environment.

“I am one who champions my team’s work, ensuring they have the movement to create and foster their own working relationships with key people and departments across the business, so they create their own success.

“Beyond the workday, I always stop to ‘check-in’ with those around me, as a leader it is important to me that I foster not only great professional relationships but personal ones as well. Knowing what my peers’ passion points are and how they are going is important so that I can ensure they are set up for success and thrive in their roles.

“I am looking forward to developing my leadership skills further and excited for my next steps in the audio industry.”
