In our conversation, Laura talks about times in her life she had decided to change direction and about how that has taken from Launceston to Sydney, Melbourne, and London.
She speaks about her desire to be of service to her community, and the sense of connection that brings her.
She tells us about her experiences working through the height of the pandemic. She speaks about how important it was to building relationships during that time, and the pride she felt in seeing great people come together to quickly make an idea a reality.
She speaks about embracing the strengths that come from the different ways people like to work, and the benefits of staying open to being challenged.
Laura speaks about the experience of receiving a Public Service Medal, and about how hard it can be for many of us to accept recognition.
Finally, she tells us about the responsibilities that fall under the role of the Director of the Office of the Secretary.
