In this revealing episode, writer/creative practitioner/community advocate/youth mentor/Australian Rural Leadership Foundation alum Alysha Herrmann shares her journey of authentic and vulnerable leadership.
With family roots entrenched in the wool industry, Alysha's life began with constant movement and a deep connection to rural communities. Facing adversity in her teen years, she made the bold decision to leave her family and school at just 15. The transformative experience of motherhood at 17 propelled her to pursue further education, and her inner creative, that reshaped her future.
Sitting down with ARLF's Vivienne Johnson, Alysha shares her evolution from a rebellious, arts-averse teenager to a prominent figure in the regional arts sector.
Some highlights:
- Alysha discusses the transformative impact of the creative industry on an individual, and the community.
- How it creates more opportunities for regional creatives to be heard in their own communities and further afield.
- The importance of diverse voices and inclusive approaches in decision making.
- And embracing vulnerability as a strength in leadership.
