It was a pleasure to speak at the QCIB Lunch in Brisbane last week about perceived risk vs real risk, and the power of trust and transparency in leadership. The group wore the goggles that simulate my vision, which opens the conversations around trust and empathy in business.

TOUCH was an incredible and immersive experience. It was a movie without pictures, made for and in collaboration with the blind and low vision community screened at the @WestpacOpenAir this week. Thank you for having me @MastercardAU & @Westpac

A movie without pictures. Yes that's right! On Tuesday I'm off to see TOUCH. A movie created by @MastercardAU and shown at @WestpacOpenAir. It's going to be such an immersive experience and I won't be asking the sighted people what's happening, I reckon they will be asking me!

I recently spoke at @theAIS in front of the @SeaEagles. I’m a crazy Manly fan and was honoured to chat with them in their pre-season camp talking teamwork, leadership, owning your actions, and the power of trust. Cant wait to see you play this Sunday and light it up this year!

Reflecting on 2023 and what is to come in 2024, I couldn't be more pumped. We have some really cool stuff happening this year and are about to launch the #BlindSea film. I can't wait for you to see that and am pumped to share 2024 with you #blindsurfer #theblindsea
