Does the idea of building an influential personal brand to drive change scare you or excite you? What drives influential women to think big when it comes to making an impact? In today’s episode, I invited Michelle Redfern to ask her how she found her voice as a leader, and the turning points in her career that has led her to be recognised as one of Australia’s most influential women. Michelle is the founder of Advancing Women, an enterprise providing research and advisory services on equality, inclusion and gender diversity. She is also the founder professional women’s network Women Who Get It and co-founder of social enterprise CDW (Culturally Diverse Women and Workforces).

Michelle was named City of Melbourne B3000 Female Entrepreneur of the Year (2019), a recipient of the AFR 100 Women of Influence Award (2018), and a finalist in the VicHealth EWN Community Award (2018) for her significant contribution to the Australian Football League. In part 1 of the interview, Michelle shares the turning points in her career that helped her find her voice as a leader, and how she grew into becoming one of Australia’s most influential women. In part 2, Michelle shares how she sets lead indicators of success to track the impact she’s making, and shares her tips for anyone looking to make a bigger impact.
