The waves of change just keep coming with Nicole WATTS from NSW Maritime

I'm going to preface this episode with a warning: This woman is unstoppable and together with her team and tenacity have brought you the changes and customer experiences that NSW has seen in government over the last few years. 
Nicole Watts, Director of NSW Maritime, has her feet firmly in the waters, looking to the future of our shoreline. With her extensive career in leadership and change management, a young family and charisma, you can't help but be inspired. 
Nicole thrives on getting it better, not just right. She has overseen the customer service journey at Service NSW, spent a year with Apple Australia and travelled extensively on her days off from her roles at Qantas during the pandemic, taking and making opportunities.

Women can be to things :who they are and what they want with Linda Seymour, Candidate for Hughes 2022

After a chance meeting in Cronulla, Linda Seymour ; An Independent candidate for the seat of Hughes, shared her story, struggles and success.
She is described as Intelligent, Curious and Independent.
Linda was the only female in her Architect Design Degree, became  mum to two girls, and was born and still lives in the Sutherland Shire. 
Her incredible insight into grass roots representation has been a passion that together with other like minded residents created the 'We are Hughes' movement.
Her success to date is attributed to her integrity and commitment to the environment and ensuring issues such as local communities are well resourced and represented. 
Linda has seen the world change, overcome personal battles of judgement and she reflects how once she would cower at the inappropriate, disrespect and unkind, she now calls it out.
"Women should have to be the champions in the fight' - Linda
The online trolling in this campaign has been nothing short of what has come to be expected in the political arena but Linda says her feet are firmly on the ground and the people around her are the force field that allows her to stay focused on the job ahead.
