Episode guiding points:
Learn about Carol’s sunrise in Melbourne, Australia in what she
describes as a large, present and loving family with deep
entrepreneurial roots and immigrating from Europe. She talks
about her 3 siblings and influence of her parents who were
married for over 70 years.
Topics we cover include: How subjects should be taught in high
school to set up both boys and girls for success, her desire at
age 18 to be an international lawyer with a focus solely on her
career and how that thinking evolved when she met her husband,
Allan in law school. A key theme you will notice through this
conversation is Carol’s deep passion for empowering women in a
range of industries and I asked Carol about how she became the
first female president of the Property Council, being influenced
by the feminists of the 70s, changing the time and venues of
board meetings and learning the importance of patience when her
kids were born.
I loved the stories Carol shares including why she created the
Women’s Leadership Institute and how it provided a platform for
her to speak up and get people to listen, activism on twitter
posting pictures of all men board rooms and tagging journalists
to drive action, and how Carol and her husband Alan created the
framework for their family office and foundation Trawalla to
focus on art, ideas, innovation and scholarship. And don’t miss
Carol’s tactical reflections on how to balance time, and being
persuasive whilst building meaningful relationships.
It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
