How does a STEM girl become the CEO of the Sunshine Coast City Council, a Region with an economy of $18.5b? This episode introduces us to a little girl who, back in the day, breathlessly watched all the Space Shuttle launches with her Dad. Emma’s first job was with the Royal Australian Air Force as an Aeronautical Engineer – she had gained her pilot’s licence while still at school. In our conversation, Emma shares the significant career pivots she has made in her leadership career, and she leaves great takeaways for listeners on leadership journeys.
