An interview with Lara
What advice would you give to your younger self, considering the unique challenges that women often encounter in leadership roles?
"Find a mentor" would be the advice when instructing my younger self on professional growth. My grandmother used to say that one can learn something from absolutely anyone. Her advice served me well, as it provided the lens for looking into the world as an ongoing learning opportunity. What I didn’t recognize at the time was that she was my first mentor along with my mother.
Who are the role models that have inspired you?
My Mother whom passed away at a young age from illness. She was selfless and gave everything to her family. Coming from an Eastern European background, you were taught to work hard for what you wanted and give to others before you give to yourself. Eastern Europeans are a gritty, intense, and supernaturally sturdy people. Communism, wars, and winters have sculpted their tradition of getting by with little. They'll endure any hardship and overcome any challenge with a stoic and grim determination.
What word/s describe your leadership style?
Independent, fearless, determined, caring, Resilient, adaptable, ambitious, confident and inspirational.
What words of inspiration can you share with women in regional, rural and remote Western Australia?
Never give up! You can do what you put your mind too. I love manifesting and focusing on what I want to achieve and when your mind is right/focused, you can achieve anything. Don’t let location dampen your dreams and goals. Look for opportunities to travel and attend conferences/seminars to meet like minded people that will give you the stimulation and drive to keep following your dreams and goals.
We thank you Lara, for what you achieve for your community and regional Durack 💙
