While navigating loss is part of work of systems change, it doesn't make it easy! In this post, I navigate loss at a personal, organisational and system level. Last week a chapter closed for Collaboration for Impact. After much preparation and planning, Liz Skelton stepped down from CFI's Board. Liz co-founded the organisation 10 years ago and steered its governance as our inaugural Chair. At a system level, Australia's social change sector is stronger and more able to do the hard work of shifting systems because of Liz's leadership and immense ability to build the capacity of others. She pioneered adaptive leadership practice in Australia and its critical role in systems change - training and mentoring 1000s of change leaders to see the system and their role in maintaining it, and then find ways to use their role and power to change systems towards equity and inclusion. Liz co-created the practice of Deep Collaboration with Mark Yettica-Paulson and 100s of people now think differently about how First Nations leaders and others can lead together. At an organisational level, CFI is one of Australia's leading intermediaries for changing systems because of Liz's vision and leadership. CFI relentlessly centres those most impacted by inequity, and has deep understanding of how collaboration, diversity, power, and leadership become the pathway to equitable systems because of Liz's values and practice. At a personal level, one does not set up an organisation that has a purpose to disrupt the status quo with just anyone. One does that only with a partner who has unshakeable integrity, an immense amount of courage and grit, always has your back, and an uncanny ability to see humour in pretty much everything. Liz was all of that and more. While I feel the loss of this chapter closing, I am honoured to have been Liz's co-founder and immensely grateful for the learning, laughs, legacy and lifelong friendship that the last 10 years has brought. Thank you Liz Skelton. x

We had the recent pleasure of meeting with Dick Erickson, a Past President of our chapter in 1979-1980. Our President Derek Farmer, MBA, CSP and Past President (Current Treasurer) Ravi Narayan sat down with him to interview over coffee. You can read about that, and a little more on this newsletter! #HeartofAmerica #ASSP #SafetyProfessionals

Well done to both, for such a special moment.

“Life is what happens when you are busy making plans” – Derek Jeter It was a lot of fun tuning in to hear Jeter and Strahan discuss their illustrious careers, triumphs on and off the field, and important lessons they learned along the way. The Postgame: Cultivating a Legacy Off the Field with New York Legends Derek Jeter and Michael Strahan was an amazing event Rockefeller Capital Management hosted! My favorite segment was on leadership. When Greg Fleming asked the most important quality of leadership, the two answered: - Strahan: Lead by example. - Jeter: Take the time to get to know the people you are leading. Tailor your leadership style based on personality.
