On this special edition, Nicky is back, and the conversation takes a few twists and turns as we unpack the trend for 'lived experience' as incidental learning that boosts structured training, how mind potentialities are the way we think and not a weakness and why Nicky got told she has a saggy pelvis. We encourage the idea of why you need to 'wilfully put yourself though shit' to become a better leader and poke fun at ourselves in the distraction.

Strong, capable and altruistic, it wasn't until late in his career as his mental health dived into a very dark place, he realised the impact of the cumulative effect of trauma in the line of duty.

Mark Thomas, the founder of Code 9, truly felt that he was on his own in his fight and wanted to build a safe space to show others that they are never alone.

This weeks guest on Aware is a thought leader and generator for the future. Louise Broekman launched a software HR product, a little early for the market and after some cheap red wine and deciding to sell everything to make it work, found success with a new product. Along the way she drew together a team of advisors to help her limit those misjudged moments. An incidental conversation made her ask, "What does good look like? What is a good decision?" This train of thought inspired her to commit to a 100 year business goal to change the sector of governance, boards and advisory groups. In de-risking her life she found the bravery to follow a dream. She inspired us to train at the ABC and continues to deliver inspiration gems of wisdom.

Too fat, too old, too loud, too needy, too much and you’ve convinced yourself it’s true.Being at war with our bodies is much more than fat rolls & wrinkles; it has a profound impact on our self esteem that permeates everything that we do. It forces us to hide & stops us from living our lives to the fullest.. Perfectly Imperfect will take you on a deep journey of self discovery, healing & self love awakening.'
