Ep. 30 - Diane Grady AO

Diane Grady has an exceptional background in the corporate world and she has used that privilege to advance the causes of women more than practically anyone. Her lessons for how to get ahead and help others should be etched in marble. 

Armed with an MBA from Harvard in the mid 70's she became a partner with the highly prestigious worldwide management consulting firm McKinsey and Co. She was the first woman outside the USA to be elected to McKinsey's Global Partnership and the first female partner in the firm to have children. In 1994 she became a full time independent director and has been on the boards of numerous public companies and non profits, that are household names.

Diane's career goals have ALWAYS been twofold: (1) do whatever she can to help create leadership opportunities for women, and (2) ensure any organisation she was involved in, she would do everything possible to help that organisation do a better job allowing all of its people at all levels, to flourish. 

And that's what she's done. 

Her advice to young women in particular of how to make an impact in the workplace is worth the price of entry alone. 

As one of the country's most successful change managers she has sage advice for the PM Scott Morrison. She's told us exactly how to fix the Liberal Party's obvious issue with its disrespect for women.

Quite an amazing person.  Listen to this. Like me, you'll be a better person for it.
