An interview with Sylvia

What advice would you give to your younger self, considering the unique challenges that women often encounter in leadership roles?

All my life, young and older, I have got involved in many varied ways when I saw a need.

What word/s describe your leadership style?

Inspiring other people to explore needs and be focussed on meeting them. Never giving up no matter how many leads go into a blank wall. Inspiring others to find their caring selves.

What words of inspiration can you share with women in regional, rural and remote Western Australia?

Always be open to any input from group members...never have a need to be in control. Don’t have fixed ideas and be open to any suggestions or observations. Make sure you allow people the freedom to give as much or as little as they can.

We thank you Sylvia, for what you achieve for your community and regional Durack 💙
