Life, leadership, and the law with Boxing Day tsunami survivor Rebekah Giles

We’re back for Season 4 and our first episode is a beauty as we talk life, leadership, and the law with one of Australia’s most prominent female legal minds, Rebekah Giles. An accomplished litigator with specialist expertise in reputational risk and over 20 years’ top tier experience in Australia and the United Kingdom, Rebekah has a diverse portfolio of non-executive directorships in government, sport, and private enterprise. She’s an ambassador for the Fertility Research Clinic at the Royal Hospital for Women Foundation, a mother, and - miraculously - a survivor of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. She’s now also a successful startup founder, launching her private practice, Company (Giles), in 2019. Rebekah is on a roll. Honoured with an Award for Excellence from the Faculty of Law at UTS in 2017, in 2018, she was listed in the AFR’s 100 Women of Influence (Boards and Management). Awards for Reputational Risk Lawyer of the Year by Global Law Experts followed in 2019, 2020 and 2021. A deep believer in the power of influence to affect positive change and the importance of giving back, her advice for success is simple. “Put your skills to use, volunteer in the community, find a passion outside your career to help broaden your experience…and in a world filled with KPIs, just diligently and passionately do your work.” Connect with Rebekah: www.companygiles.com.au Follow the Influence Unlocked podcast on Instagram@influenceunlockedpodcast Find out more about The PR Hub: https://www.theprhub.com.au/ Follow Samatha Dybac on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthadybac/ Check out the Influence Unlocked podcast videos on YouTube here: https://bit.ly/3fq8dJ5 Producer:  http://www.piccolopodcasts.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
