Kate was a leader for much of her 23yr career in NSW Police where decisions she made on a daily basis could mean the difference between someone surviving or dying. If you've ever considered becoming a supervisor, leader or manager in ANY career, you'd do well to listen to Kate & what she's learned works best (& what doesn't!!). Kate was always honest, kind & respectful but not everyone held the same values. Kate loved the majority of time she spent in Policing but it was when she began to feel she wasn't valued as a person, she decided to walk away

Kate's book is titled "STAYING KIND IN AN UNKIND WORLD"
Kate is the Founder & Director of "THE KIND REBELLION"
Kate provides keynotes & workshops on subjects including Leadership Development, Organisational Culture, Ethical Leadership, Psychological Safety & Diversity & Inclusion

PLS NOTE: THIS PODCAST DISCUSSES EXTREME VIOLENCE & SUICIDE. THINK CAREFULLY IF THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR YOU TO LISTEN Lisa Boaden's childhood was marred by violence by her father who spent time in a mental health hospital. Her mother, like so many women from years gone by, stayed because she had no choice. Lisa is now 57 & can still recall distressing & disturbing incidents which from when she was 5yo. It reiterates the importance of protecting children from harm, both physical & psychological as much as we can because the repercussions can last a lifetime. Lisa shares some insights into the horrendous process of 'shock treatment' her father endured & which she was forced to watch. Domestic Violence was constant in her young life & she has spent a lifetime trying to make sense of it all.

Katrina takes us through what she learned from her 13yr career with NSW Police, leaving at the rank of Sergeant. Her passion for helping those less fortunate is obvious through roles she's performed since Policing. SONDER is an organisation which provides individualised help & support for those affected by a critical incident in their workplace (this includes Police but also other organisations) & her role as a Forum Sentencing Facilitator was of significant interest to me. Forum Sentencing (managed by NSW Attorney General's Dept) is a restorative justice program which provides alternative sentencing options in local courts. Katrina now runs her own business, Valued Asset Coaching which helps organisations provide better leaders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
