Join host Paul Edginton as he sits down with Carmel Crouch, long-serving Managing Director of STEPS Group Australia, to unpack a remarkable life devoted to inclusion, leadership, and resilience.
Carmel’s story is one of courage, fierce independence, and relentless drive, from managing four supermarkets at 22, to rescuing a struggling organisation and building one of Australia’s most impactful disability services.
In this episode:
• Growing up with no roadmap for leadership and creating her own
• Overcoming systemic discrimination with empathy, tenacity and pragmatism
• How Carmel turned personal challenges into a national social enterprise
• The vision behind Pathways College and its generational impact on families
• Reflections on succession, legacy and the search for the next right leader
Carmel’s insights cut through management theory and land firmly in lived experience. This is a conversation for anyone leading people, building purpose-driven organisations, or wondering how to turn a “no” into a national movement.
