Step into [ed]Leadership with Heather DeBlasio
Making a contribution
Our final guest for season 1 is the wonderful Heather de Blasio. Heather is currently the Director of Leadership and Human Potential at Wilderness School in South Australia. She is also a published author and runs her own business through Resilient Leaders Elements. Heather is passionate about leading others to do what they didn’t believe they could do and has an insatiable appetite for personal and collective growth.
Heather shares her experiences around leading systemic change and the importance of understanding other people’s perspectives. We loved her analogy of middle leadership as the engine room of the school, and that leading from the middle is a complex skill which needs to be intentionally nurtured.
Heather’s provocations around legacy and what we want our professional contribution to be are sure to inspire all leaders to set aside time for reflection as we conclude another academic year.
