Admiral John (Jacky) Fisher radically transformed the Royal Navy in terms of its people, doctrine, equipment and structures. Dr Richard Dunley explains how. Few service chiefs have had such a profound effect on their service as Admiral of the Fleet, Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, Chief of the British Royal Navy in 1904-1910, and again in 1914-1915, before resigning in frustration over Churchill's Gallipoli campaign. Joining a wooden-hulled, sail-powered Royal Navy at the age of 13, by the time he retired aged 74, his Service was operating steel-hulled, oil-powered and technologically advanced battleships, with submarine and aviation arms. He was at the forefront of many of these reforms, but his impact went beyond the technology, overseeing profound changes in naval strategy (working alongside Julian Corbett - Season 1, Episode 1), doctrine, force disposition, personnel and training. Like other great strategic leaders, he was adept at shaping the political environment, securing for the Royal Navy the lion's share of the defence budget. Yet his legacy is mixed - his Royal Navy was undoubtedly a stronger, more capable fighting force but, according to our guest, was institutionally damaged and divided, and took some time to recover. Dr Richard Dunley is a senior lecturer in history and maritime strategy at the University of New South Wales, Canberra, where he teaches at the Australian Defence Force Academy. His research focuses on the relationship between navies and technology, with a particular emphasis on the Royal Navy in the early 20th century.
Where have you learned leadership? On the farm? In a day job? Inherited perhaps? For most, NONE have learned the vital art and science of leadership. It is a learned skill. One we can all commit to and master. One we all need to be successful in life and business, and in succeeding in the pursuit of a family farm that can transcend generations… It is a privilege to introduce Paul Ainsworth, Managing Partner of Lincoln Institute to you in this episode - one that speaks deeply to the heart of leadership, resilience, and the power of community. Over 15 years, and after a decorated career in the Australian Army, Paul has helped shape leaders in the veterinary and agricultural industries. A graduate of the Australian Defence Force Academy and the Royal Military College Duntroon, Paul served as an Infantry Officer with international deployments across five foreign countries, culminating in a role as a military observer in the Middle East. His leadership journey continued beyond the Army, first as the inaugural Director of ALDI Foods in Australia and then, as CEO and Board Chairman of Australia's fastest-growing company in the energy sector. Now, as the Founding Principal of the Lincoln Institute, Paul is dedicated to equipping veterinary and agricultural professionals with the leadership, management, and communication skills they need to thrive. Leadership is more than just making decisions. It's about connection. It's about knowing when to step forward and when to step back. It's about building a team that isn't just technically strong but also aligned, empowered, and accountable. Here Are Some of The Key Leadership Lessons from This Episode: How self-aware are you as a leader? How you think you come across isn't always how you do. Where might there be a gap between your intent and your impact? Who's in your corner? Isolation is the enemy—whether you're a vet, a farmer, or a business owner. Who do you lean on? How are you building a strong support network? Are you pushing yourself and your team to grow? Real learning happens outside the comfort zone. Where are you playing it too safe? Are you empowering or micromanaging? Move from telling to coaching. Teach the standard, then trust your people to own it. Do your people know what's expected—before there's a problem? The best way to avoid hard conversations is to set clear expectations from the start. Are you creating clarity or confusion? Strong teams don't need coddling—they need to know where they stand, what success looks like, and how to get there. We are delighted that our FOA Platinum Mastermind & Alumni Members have access to the Lincoln Institute Emerging Leaders Programs. For more information about FOA's programs and our connection with Lincoln, book a Complimentary Coaching Call here. Paul and his team at Lincoln Institute have been working alongside farm owners, veterinarians, and business leaders for years—helping them not just lead, but lead well. This is a conversation about what really makes a difference in leadership—the moments that test us, the decisions that define us. A sincere thanks to Paul for joining us in this conversation. Your knowledge, wisdom and insights are so valuable and transferrable. Sincerely, Jeremy Hutchings and The Farm Owners Academy Team
Germany's winter campaign of 1941–1942 is commonly seen as the Wehrmacht's first defeat. In Retreat from Moscow: A New History of Germany's Winter Campaign, 1941-1942 (FSG, 2019), David Stahel argues that it was in fact their first strategic success in the east. The mismanaged Soviet Counteroffensive became a phyrric victory as both sides struggled with strategic leadership and supply. German generals, caught between Stalin's hammer and Hitler's anvil, found loopholes in increasingly irrational orders to hold at all costs. Drawing on official war diaries, journals, memoirs, and correspondence, Stahel's latest installment in his reevaluation of the eastern front delivers a vivid account that challenges what you thought you knew about the war in the Soviet Union. David Stahel is the author of five previous books on Nazi Germany's war against the Soviet Union. He completed an MA in war studies at King's College London in 2000 and a PhD at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2009. His research primarily concentrates on the German military in World War II. Dr. Stahel is a senior lecturer in European history at the University of New South Wales, and he teaches at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Ryan Stackhouse is a historian of Europe specializing in modern Germany and political policing under dictatorship. His forthcoming book Enemies of the People: Hitler's Critics and the Gestapo explores enforcement practices toward different social groups under Nazism.

Heston Russell is a retired Special Forces Major and decorated combat Veteran who has dedicated his life to serving his country and the wider Veteran community. He joined the Australian Army at the age of 17 as a fifth generation Army Veteran following in the footsteps of his father Mark who served for over twenty years in the Australian Army. While at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Heston completed a Bachelor of Arts from the University of New South Wales majoring in History & Indonesian. After 16 years of serving in the military - where he lead elite, high performance teams and completed over 100 combat missions with the Special Forces - he found his true purpose defending and protecting those who were innocent. And taking the fight to those who were not. Transitioning back to civilian life was challenging to say the least. In August 2020, feeling irrelevant and isolated, he almost gave up on life. In that harrowing moment, he realised the person truly holding him back was himself. Since then, he's been on a mission to use his experience as a leader and his love for his country to solve real world problems and empower people to achieve their full potential. In this episode, Heston shares his reflections, thoughts and views on military life, on transitioning back into civilian life and what he's learnt through the rollercoaster journey.

Alan Craig's story came to me through a very close friend of mine Allan Hogan who has written a biography of Alan Craig's life. As a young man, I used to race Motor X and my Bike was a Suzuki RM 125. Al Craig was the local Suzuki dealer. His shop was directly next door to our dentist so each time I visited the dentist I would stick my head in the door and see what the latest bikes were. Never did I imagine that one day I would have the privilege of interviewing the owner of this Suzuki dealership and discover that he is one of the most dedicated, courageous, and business-savvy people I would ever meet. Alan is determined, dogged, and creative in his approach to business. He is from the old school that didn't know have to give up - you simply worked hard and tried several approaches, explored new paradigms, searched for solutions, and experimented until there was a breakthrough and you found the result you were looking for. Alan is a very skilled tradesman, inventor, innovator, entrepreneur, advocate, business leader, and a living legend in motorsports locally and nationally. He is one of our unsung heroes whose story could have been lost. However, due to having a great mate like Al Hogan, Al Craig's story has been preserved forever. Alan thanks for your inspiration, and encouragement and for living a life well lived. It was great to meet you and “Have a chat” together. I hope you enjoy our conversation as we wander through the emerging motorbike racing history of Australia, not just Newcastle. As we learn what it means to have a “Never Say Die” attitude in Life and Business. Please Enjoy Al Craig's Story, Cheers Ian. Merry Christmas! I have a great conversation with Allan Clements - Ex-Fighter Pilot, Commandant of the Australian Defence Force Academy, Acrobatics Pilot, and Attache to the Australian Ambassador during the Trump Administration in the USA coming your way in Jan 2023.

Military Historians are People, Too! A Podcast with Brian & Bill
Today we chat with Dr. Aimée Fox, Senior Lecturer for Defence Studies at King's College, London. Aimée earned her Ph.D. at the University of Birmingham, working under Freind of the Pod Jonathan Boff, and she also served as a Teaching Fellow in the History of Warfare at Birmingham. Aimée was also a Visiting Scholar at the Australian Defence Force Academy at the University of New South Wales, Canberra. Her first book, Learning to Fight: Military Innovation and Change in the British Army, 1914-1918, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2018, winning the Templer Medal for Best First Book as well as the British Army Military Book of the Year for 2018. Aimée has also published her work in The English Historical Review, War & Society, and War in History, and she is editing a scholarly edition of the papers of Major General Guy Dawnay for the Army Records Society. Her research has been funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council and she has held fellowships from the Australian Defence Force, The Australian War Memorial, The Brute Krulak Center for Innovation and Future Warfare at the US Marine Corps University, and the Royal British Legion. Having only finished her Ph.D. in 2015, Aimée has already been elected a Fellow of both the Royal Historical Society and the Higher Education Academy, and she is a Trustee of the Society for Military History. She served on the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of Military History and is presently a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the British Journal for Military History. Perhaps most impressively, she's got more than 8,000 Twitter followers @DrAEFox. She is currently pursuing two research projects: first, an exploration of the importance of social relations, gossip, and informal networks to the process of innovation, and the ways in which the social politics of military organizations help or hinder innovation with a particular focus on the role of command and leadership; and secondly, an examination of the emotional mobilization of women during the First World War, exploring how intimacy, feelings, labor, and family were co-opted and exploited by the British military and the ways in which this was negotiated and contested by women. Along with Michael Finch and David Morgan-Owen, Aimée also has a forthcoming edited collection of outstanding essays titled Framing the First World War: Knowledge, Learning and Military Thought, to be published by the University Press of Kansas as part of Modern War Studies. What a delightful chat with the equally delightful Aimée Fox! We'll discuss what is an Essex Girl, taking sad-naps as an Everton supporter, and BBQ in Georgia, which she has experienced! Yes, we'll talk about her work, having a 7-month old lab puppy (Freddie!), and being married to a military historian, apparently of some repute. Join us! Rec. 01/13/2022

Our extra special guest today is Nikki McLennan with our interview titled, Photographer, entrepreneur, and all-around powerful Lioness. Before I introduce you to our wonderful guest, here's what you need to know….. Nikki McLennan is one of those people you can't quite believe exists. A multi-award-winning photographer and entrepreneur, Nikki defines what it means to take the bull by the horns. Nikki's work passionately combines a celebration of the power of women, with the lifetime preservation of precious family memories. Her work in this space is a clear reflection of herself. Nikki is the personification of her “Lioness” brand; as well as a dedicated and loving role model to her beautiful children. Nikki's journey into the photography space started at just 14 years old when she would constantly be taking photos of her salt-sprayed friends at the beach in Evans Head. Armed with an old-school film camera and the mentorship of her friend Stephen Blanch, Nikki quickly developed a love of the art of photography that grew to become her life's passion. I want to start the interview with a quote from Nikki - In an age where digital is king, Lion & Cub believes there is power and beauty in real art hung on the wall for everyone to see. Good afternoon, Nikki and welcome to the Every Day business show, so glad to have you here with us today. Let's take up your story from High school. What did you study after high school? Arts/Law degree at the University of Sydney. There was an interesting turn in your life when you turned down a scholarship offer from the Australian Defence Force Academy to be in the Navy. What prompted this decision? What happened after graduation? Front desk media and communications, off to art school, Can you tell the audience about the awards you've been nominated and awarded? What changes inspired the writing for Capture Magazine? In 2017 you were nominated for Ausmumpreneur, there's a great story around this can you tell the audience about that? You were blessed to be nominated again in 2019 which led to the Lion and Cub, can you tell us more about that progression? Family, Mum Bub Again in 2021 more awards what did this mean for you and the business? I love that you are best described as a fine art photographer, what does this mean to you and for your business? The link between art and photography is a beautiful one and you have captured this unique combination in your beautiful portraits. There have been lots of struggles for you and one of those is that of being a creative entrepreneur with ADHD. Nikki, can you please share with the audience how you manage these challenges and how they impact you and your business? A very special component of the way you do business is the empowerment of women. What does this mean to you in your business? Nikki, you have a special offer for the audience today, can you tell us about it?
In our second discussion with Professor Clinton Fernandes from the University of New South Wales in Canberra, Australia, which is part of the Australian Defence Force Academy, we talked about the new Australian deal to buy subs from the U.S., and the larger role of Australia as a "sub-Imperial" country, not powerful in its own right so much as a supportive nation for American efforts in the Pacific.

Power dynamics are changing in the Asia and Indo-Pacific with the mid-September announcement of the decision by the United States to share nuclear submarine technology with Australia, a privilege previously accorded only to the United Kingdom. The submarine deal is a key part of Aukus, the new trilateral security partnership between the US, UK and Australia.

Ben first met Lee Goddard on the high seas, chasing North Korean drug smugglers. Tim's history with Lee goes back a bit further – to his very first days in the military as a young cadet at the Australian Defence Force Academy, where Lee was the Academy Cadet Captain. Since graduating from ADFA, Lee has excelled in pretty much endeavour he has turned his hand to, from crewing the tall ship, The Young Endeavour, through to command of warships on operations in places like the South China Sea and the Persian Gulf, and then to running the entire Maritime Border Command. After 34 years in the Royal Australian Navy, Lee concluded his fulltime military service as a rear admiral and has now transitioned out of the military and is working within Andrew Forrest's Minderoo Foundation.

Heston opens up about the struggles he has faced since discharging from the Army, including starting a new business venture, trying to find his purpose in a foreign civilian environment, thoughts of taking his own life, the people that he draws inspiration from, and his new-found purpose of being a spokesperson for the Veteran community in Australia.First joining the Australian Army at 17 via the Australian Defence Force Academy, Heston completed Special Forces selection and training to become a Qualified Commando Officer within the 2nd Commando Regiment, Special Operations Command – Australia.In 2016, Heston was promoted to Major and appointed Officer Commanding the Special Forces Selection and Training continuum at the Special Forces Training Centre.Launching VOAV in 2020 as a platform for modern veterans to speak out, he is on a mission to break down the stigmas surrounding mental health and vulnerability within the veteran community.Heston believes each and every one of us has the ability to do whatever is needed to act with an authentic purpose empowered by responsibility – not entitlement – to ensure no one ever feels alone.Your host - Shaun KoberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancefunctionaltrainingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnOpTWXi1xKdamDBgzlfaPwYour guest - Heston RussellInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hestonrussell/Voice Of A Veteran Website: https://www.voiceofaveteran.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/voice_of_a_veteran/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/voiceofaveteran/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs32PiWxvWc6K0Cu10_mYoQPodcast: https://voavpodcast.podbean.com/Rate and Review: https://lovethepodcast.com/livetrainperform

While the rest of the world was obsessing over the U.S. elections, China-watchers were digesting the Fifth Plenum communique released October 29, the official guidance to the thinking of the CCP Central Committee. Chairman Xi assured the public that imports stimulate domestic demand, exports reinforce global reliance on China, and FDI contributes to industry upgrading. That's Xi's "dual circulation" theory in a nutshell. Does dual circulation actually mean anything? Does it represent change, or is it just the same old policy under a new slogan? Does it mean that Beijing will weaponise supply chains? And perhaps most importantly: will it work? Sinologist and social scientist David Kelly joins us to discuss Xi Jinping, his grip on power, his undeclared war on Australian exports, and what an incoming Biden administration may mean for US-China relations. David Kelly has researched and taught Chinese studies at ANU, Australian Defence Force Academy, the East Asia Institute (Singapore), Peking University, and the University of Technology, Sydney. He is now a principal with China Policy, a Beijing-based information and advisory firm.
Hiya, Today's inspiration for this podcast is as a result of a great meditation I was doing this morning (created by Sacred Acoustics). I was guided in this meditation to journey through time, forwards or backwards, to a time that feels right for you to explore. Without any set intention in mind, I ended up journeying back to a time when I was 18 years old, at the Australian Defence Force Academy, and I thought my whole world was crashing down around me. I thought the door to my very awesome future was being closed before my very eyes. Little did I know, that numerous other totally awesome doors were being opened up before the original door had barely closed. I think you will relate to this podcast and I hope you enjoy it, but more so take something from it to make a positive impact in your own life. Remember to join me for the LIFE MASTERCLASS Online Event happening 27-29 Nov 2020. There are 10x Live Q&A Coaching Sessions with me, access to the content for 12-months, and a money back guarantee.

In this episode, John Spencer is joined by Dr. Deane Baker, an associate professor at the University of New South Wales, Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy. He specializes in the ethics of armed conflict. He discusses his research on military ethics and how ethical dilemmas present themselves on the battlefield. In particular, he explains why urban warfare creates a context that generates unique ethical concerns—concerns that remain unresolved and are of interest to both warfighters and ethicists.

Historically, Australia has lacked a coherent policy to attract immigrants with less extensive formal training and education, despite the needs of its ageing population and labour market. The Center for Global Development has recently concluded a project with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which has produced two papers. Michael Clemens outlines the findings of the first paper, which estimates the demand for vocational workers in Australia by 2050 will exceed native supply by over two million. While there will be ample skilled labour available within Pacific Island countries, facilitating this movement in a managed way that maximises the development potential of migration will be key. To that end, Satish Chand discusses the second paper, which proposes the development of a ‘Pacific Skills Partnership', a model that would facilitate skills creation across 14 low-income Pacific Island countries, with the greatest development potential lying in Papua New Guinea.Speakers:Michael Clemens is Director of Migration, Displacement, and Humanitarian Policy and a Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Development, where he studies the economic effects and causes of migration around the world. >> Related paper: Skill Development and Regional Mobility: Lessons from the Australia-Pacific Technical College – Working Paper 370Satish Chand is a Professor of Finance in the School of Business at the University of New South Wales and based at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra. He is also an Adjunct Professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University. His research interests include labour migration, fragile states, and the challenges of development.>> View presentation>> Related paper: A Pacific Skills Partnership: Improving the APTC to Meet Skills Needed in the RegionChair:Dr Ryan Edwards, Deputy Director, Development Policy Centre, The Australian National UniversityPhoto: Hohola Youth Development Centre, PNG (DFAT/Flickr CC BY 2.0)

Germany’s winter campaign of 1941–1942 is commonly seen as the Wehrmacht's first defeat. In Retreat from Moscow: A New History of Germany's Winter Campaign, 1941-1942 (FSG, 2019), David Stahel argues that it was in fact their first strategic success in the east. The mismanaged Soviet Counteroffensive became a phyrric victory as both sides struggled with strategic leadership and supply. German generals, caught between Stalin's hammer and Hitler's anvil, found loopholes in increasingly irrational orders to hold at all costs. Drawing on official war diaries, journals, memoirs, and correspondence, Stahel's latest installment in his reevaluation of the eastern front delivers a vivid account that challenges what you thought you knew about the war in the Soviet Union. David Stahel is the author of five previous books on Nazi Germany's war against the Soviet Union. He completed an MA in war studies at King's College London in 2000 and a PhD at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2009. His research primarily concentrates on the German military in World War II. Dr. Stahel is a senior lecturer in European history at the University of New South Wales, and he teaches at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Ryan Stackhouse is a historian of Europe specializing in modern Germany and political policing under dictatorship. His forthcoming book Enemies of the People: Hitler’s Critics and the Gestapo explores enforcement practices toward different social groups under Nazism.

In November, Prime Minister Scott Morrison promised to take Australia’s engagement with the Pacific to a new level, announcing five new diplomatic missions, and a $2 billion infrastructure financing facility.

They also look at why people in the Pacific don’t want to become pawns in a new power game, and how good relations can be built without spending big bucks.Pod presenter Julia Ahrens also hears from Avery Poole about the internationalisation of university curricula, and the two of them tackle some of your questions and comments.Avery Poole is a Senior Fellow at The Australia and New Zealand School of Government and an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the Crawford School of Public Policy at ANU.Graeme Smith is a fellow in the ANU Department of Pacific Affairs.

In this Happiness Class I will tell you about a shameful and humiliating event that happened to me 28 years ago, that has affected me in subtle ways ever since. Not only that - but what limiting belief I associated with the event that has been a thorn in my side every since. I will also share with you how I dealt with that event (with a series of techniques) that made me feel as if the world bent itself around me. It is like a fear I have carried for years, and have had to work hard on, has just disappeared. I feel like a new me. The event I share happened to me in the first year I was in the Army at Australian Defence Force Academy. It might come as a bit of a shock to all the guys I know from my service days to hear about the impact this event had on me, as I always maintained a brave face. Plus I believe I have been quite successful, regardless. So if you want to hear Carl Massy as his most open and most vulnerable self, then you are going to want to hear this. I will also be sharing with you the book I read, and the process I used to make such a life-changing shift. The book was 'Code to Joy' by Dr Pratt, Dr Lambrou & Dr Mann. Now as with every book (mine included), the real magic doesn't come from reading a book, it comes from taking action on the information. I hope you enjoy seeing me bare my soul.
