38: HoA "It starts with one" with Catherine Marriott (Maz)
Over the last 15 years, Catherine Marriott has worked in management, strategic and leadership roles in the agricultural, research and regional development sectors, both in Australia and overseas. She is a graduate of the Australian Rural Leadership Program and was the 2012 WA Rural Women of the Year. It's fair to say that Maz's career has thrown its fair share of challenges yet with a dose of optimism and getting on with the job she lifts up and inspires those around her. 2020 gave her the opportunity to challenge the identity in which she has to understand what her contribution was and how she could be 'totally effective' from home. After losing a parent at a young age, Maz talks about trying to fit a lot into a short period of time and how she tried to make the most of every opportunity presented to her. Her work has seen her contributing in Australia and overseas and her work to empower women working in the rural sectors is inspiring. She was on the ground in Indonesia during the live export ban in 2011 and she around the 24 minute mark talks about her first hand recount and experience as she lived and breathed it. She's a true leader, someone who I find incredibly humble, inspiring and bloody lucky that I could sit down with her for a chat. I had so much fun recording this, I'm sure you can all hear that as we chat.
