Power of our Identities in leadership | Michelle Evans | TEDxFulbrightCanberra

Conventional understandings of leadership limit how we both perceive leadership and enact it. These ideas get in the way and restrict the idea of leadership to organisational and hierarchical contexts. What if we thought about leadership as a moment that arises in situations and contexts? What if who we are and how we speak and act with others are the resources we have to draw upon for leadership? In this talk Michelle positions the experiences and voices of Indigenous Australians within a frame of leadership. She explores how having ‘outsider’ experiences and challenging ‘insider’ expectations can help uncover barriers to finding your authority to lead. 2013 Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar to the University of Hawaii – Manoa. Michelle holds an Associate Professorship in Leadership at Charles Sturt University where she is project lead of the Indigenous entrepreneurship Pop Up innovation hub WALAN MAYINYGU. Michelle is also co-Founder/Program Director for Australia’s Indigenous Business Master Class program, MURRA, based at Melbourne Business School, through which she has personally taught and mentored one hundred and thirteen Australian Indigenous business people.
