Thought Leader Session November: Cathy McGowan Former Independent MP for Indi

"I like the fact that there are so many different perspectives and ideas around things. I enjoy the discussions here when someone challenges my point of view and I realise that I’ve never thought about it like that."

"The respect for each other and appreciation of our differences."

"The connection and the individuality of the community."

"I love the symbiosis and the osmotic atmosphere, the respect and the safety of this community."

"It's supportive, not competitive."

"The leadership. And people step up and lead when they need to."

"Consistency of people showing up and of behaviour. We all know we will be listened to and a safe place to bring up challenging things. It’s also consistently evolving."

"This is a unique group. A brave experiment by Justin and Rachelle. It’s evolving, it’s inclusive, it’s respectful. Our values all align and we are allowed to be ourselves without fear of ridicule which creates safety allowing us to grow personally and take the road we need to walk on."

"I like the people, the community to talk to. I like that everyone’s different and diversity is cool."
