What does it mean to make way in leadership? For former Royal Australian Navy Captain Will Martin, progress as a leader has demanded humility, communication savvy, and above all - a commitment to mission. In this episode of Frontline to Boardroom, I speak with Will Martin, a veteran of over 30 years of service in the Royal Australian Navy and a third-generation Naval Officer. With Command of two ships and operational service in the Middle East and on our borders, he also served as the senior Navy representative in the Australian High Commission in London. In his final full-time posting in the Navy, Will was responsible for all aspects of warfare training across the Navy. Along with his wife Helen, he now runs Waterline Leadership - a leadership development practice focussed on senior teams and emerging leaders. What I loved about our conversation was Will's humility and willingness to get down and dirty to discuss some of the leadership challenges of today. His extensive real-world experience isn't merely retrospective; he's focused on paying forward hard-won insights through emerging leader development, irrespective of industry. Join Will to hear how lessons from the command of two Navy ships have charted his course as a leadership consultant. Gain insights on unifying teams, focusing through crisis, and developing the self-awareness required of those called to command and lead others.

I am SO excited about this week's guest and how wild that it coincides with the very weekend I landed in Antarctica exactly a year ago! I still can't believe that actually happened but how amazing to relive it all in this episode. I'm PUMPED to have David Knoff with us this week, you'll be able to hear in my voice how fascinating I found his pathYAY not only in his Antarctic journey but all the crazy dots that connected to get him there. Think a career as an officer in the Army commanding a whole platoon with the Regional Assistance Mission Solomon Islands turned diplomat at the Australian High Commission in Pakistan which then became Frist Secretary at the Australian Embassy in Iraq with a side of professional photography in Turkey, medals for formation skydiving in Dubai and even splitboarding records – a hybrid snowboard that can be separated into cross country skis for ascent…   And that's all before he became an Antarctic Station leader at Davis Station which is not only already a uniquely intense and challenging role to fill let alone when you get STUCK THERE DURING AN UNPRECEDENT PANDEMIC for 537 days!!! You can only imagine how interesting THAT story is such that he has written it into an incredible book with more exciting projects on the horizon. I'll let him tell you more about it himself but I hope you find it as captivating and invigorating as I did!! FOLLOW DAVID HERE BUY HIS BOOK HERE BOOK HIM FOR SPEAKING HERE

Drummer/Percussionist/Music Educator James (Jim) Bailey joins me in The Engine Room to discuss his fabulous musical journey both in Australia and overseas. Jim first became interested in music while living in England, he wanted to play the clarinet, but the school didn't have any available, so he was given a piccolo to take home to try. He didn't have much luck with this instrument, so he returned it to the school and then went back to playing sports which he was very good at. It wasn't until after his family had emigrated to Australia and he injured his foot during a game that Jim's interests once again returned to music, this time he decided to try drums, having seen an advertisement for a free aptitude test at the Adelaide College of Music. He began private drum lessons after meeting the drummer Jimmy Latta at the Boomerang Club. Jimmy introduced him to the world of modern jazz, making him aware of the playing styles of many of the world's greatest drummers. Jimmy moved to Canberra after joining the Australian Army Band. Jim then began to have lessons with one of Adelaide's leading players Gary Haines. Gary was a studio musician for Channel 9, and he also ran a business called Drumsville in Club Lane, which was the place that all of the young drummers would hang out. It was during this time that Jim decided that a music career was the path he wanted to pursue, so he quit his job and you took up part time work in the record department at David Jones. In 1965 he successfully auditioned to attend the Elder Conservatorium Single Studies program in classical percussion, where he was taught by Richard (Dick) Smith, who was a timpanist for the South Australian Symphony Orchestra, Dick ran the percussion program at the Conservatorium. Jim is regarded as one of Australia's leading teachers of classical and Latin percussion as well as jazz drumming. He has performed and taught throughout Australia, the United States, South Africa, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. A short list of his credentials includes: Performances with the Hong Kong Philharmonic; the Durban, Natal Symphony Orchestra; the Australian Youth Orchestra; the Australia Ensemble Lights; the Elder Conservatorium Wind Quintet and the Elder Conservatorium Wind Ensemble. His festival appearances include the Adelaide Festival, Barossa Festival, Manley Jazz Festival, Glenelg Jazz Festival, Standard Bank Jazz Festival in Pretoria, South Africa and the Living Treasures Festival 2000 in Durban South Africa. He toured South Africa with the world music group Warkala, performing and conducting master classes and workshops for the Australian High Commission and in fund-raising concerts for the relief of AIDS in children in South Africa. He is also Australia's foremost authority on the tuning and construction of mallet instruments — marimbas, vibraphones, and glockenspiels. All marimbas used in the group were made by him. Throughout his long career Jim has made an outstanding contribution to the percussive arts and education both here and overseas and has trained some of Australia's top percussionists during his teaching career as the Percussion Senior Lecturer and Head of Percussion at the Elder Conservatorium of Music. In 2011, Jim became the first Australian to be awarded the Lifetime Achievement in Education Award from the International Percussive Arts Society. The award recognises the contributions of the most highly regarded leaders in percussion education throughout the world. Prior to Covid, Jim spent many years traveling to be a guest speaker and teacher at various educational organizations worldwide. Music "Band It About" written and recorded by Catherine Lambert & Michael Bryant. "Ghanaia" written by Schmitt Matthew, performed by the Hormingo Ensemble.

If your gut lining isn’t strong, then no matter how healthy you are, your body is not going to be able to digest and extract what you need from your food.This is the key message from our guest on this episode of The Happy Pear podcast.

Allan and Darren welcome Stephen Dziedzic to the podcast, who covers foreign affairs in the Asia Pacific region for Australia’s national broadcaster, the ABC, based at Parliament House in Canberra. Stephen has spent more than a decade at the ABC, including five years covering federal politics. He also spent two years working for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade at the Australian High Commission in New Delhi. The way the media covers international affairs and Australian foreign policy has come up several times on the podcast before, and at times Allan and Darren have both expressed their frustration at some of the reporting! Stephen is asked, if not to defend, at least to explain how the media operates in reporting on Australia in the world in the year 2020, and the rationale behind the coverage. After Stephen provides an overview of his career to date and interest in international affairs, Allan begins by asking how the media landscape has changed since the publication of Allan’s book in 2007 (co-authored with Michael Wesley), Making Australian Foreign Policy. To what extent do the traditional media outlets still act as gatekeepers? The conversation moves to some of the ins and outs of covering foreign policy in Canberra, such as government “drops” of major speeches, and dealing with embassies. Allan asks Stephen for his impression of whether DFAT does a good job of selling itself, in light of a recent critique by Dave Sharma MP. Darren looks to zoom out, asking Stephen about the broader media landscape. How much room is there for foreign policy content and what does it mean for a story to be newsworthy? What about variation in coverage—how different is the ABC to the major broadsheets, and what about the tabloids? After his recent brush with tabloid fame, Allan puts to Stephen the critique that editors act like TV “showrunners”, working to ensure that whatever twists the plot takes, it remains faithful to a predetermined overall narrative. Is that critique unfair? Stephen’s thoughtful response covers a lot of ground, including many of the tricky ethical issues involved and the civic responsibilities of journalists. Following on, Darren is particularly interested in the decision to grant anonymity to government leaks. Allan muses about how difficult it is to get ministers to focus on issues of long-term importance, and the immediacy of media coverage creates similar challenges. How can a journalist turn something s/he knows to be important into news, and does social media help or hurt with that? In the final part of the conversation, Darren pivots to domestic politics, and asks specifically about the “Wolverines” group of MPs who take a hard line on China policy. Is there a political logic to their grouping? Allan asks if generational differences may play a role in explaining divides on China policy. The interview concludes on the distinction between “public interest” and “national interest” in an era of growing geopolitical rivalry. As always, we invite our listeners to email us at this address: australia.world.pod@gmail.com We welcome feedback, requests and suggestions.

The five stories on this list provide some of the more mysterious disappearances in the last several decades. These are 5 Strange and Creepy Missing Person’s Cases. 5. Martin Allen On November 5, 1979, 15-year old Martin Allen, was travelling home in the London underground. He had plans to see his older brother but needed to go home to their cottage on the grounds of the Australian High Commission to get some money. At 3:50 PM, Martin said goodbye to school friends at the King’s Cross Station and headed to the Piccadilly Line platform to get home from there. Martin Allen never did make it to his destination that day – and until now, nobody knows where he is or what happened to him. 4. Leah Roberts Leah Roberts lived most of her life in Durham, North Carolina. After losing her parents and experiencing a near fatal car crash, she was feeling like she needed a break. Leah quit school and indulged her spiritual searching through poetry and writing. On March 9, 2000, she spoke to her sister, Kara, about her future plans. Later in the afternoon, Leah’s roommate couldn’t find her or her 1993 White Cherokee Jeep at home. 3. Jeremy Bright On August 1986, Jeremy Bright went to Myrtle Point, Oregon with his sister, S’te (read Estee) to attend the Coos County Fair. It was a yearly affair for the siblings since they had lived in Myrtle Point prior to moving to Grants Pass. Not only were they looking forward to the fair but they wanted to catch up with friends and family who lived there. By August 13, the siblings headed out, stuffing themselves with food, enjoying the rides and hanging out with friends. At 4:45 PM, Jeremy called his mother to ask her to pick him and his sister up on August 15th. 2. Larry Hillblom Larry Hillblom is one of the men responsible for creating the DHL empire. Born and raised in Kingsburg, California he graduated with a law degree. He then worked for a while before co-founding DHL in 1969 and as the company grew, he became a billionaire. Aside from his high intelligence, Hillblom was described by friends and family as eccentric. He was also a private person and liked to keep his personal affairs away from prying eyes. By the 1980s, he moved to Saipan and lived here. Business partners thought it was a brilliant move to avoid paying tax dollars, But it seemed there was much more to this story. 1. Lynne Schulze On December 10, 1971, 17-year old Lynne Schulze from Middlebury, Vermont, was on the verge of taking her final exams for Drama class. It was the first day of exams before Christmas break and at 12:30 PM, she was seen stopping by a local health food store called “All Good Things.” She bought dried prunes and was seen munching on them outside the store while waiting for the bus. She mentioned she was heading to New York and was waiting for the bus but the bus had already left. By 12:55 PM, she was seen in her dormitory.

On 25 April 1915 Australian and New Zealand troops landed on Gallipoli at dawn. It was one of two main assaults on the Gallipoli peninsula. The Anzacs were to land near the promontory of Gaba Tepe, about halfway up the peninsula, while British forces landed at Cape Helles, at its southern tip. The two forces were to converge on the central mass of the Kilid Bahr Plateau, which dominated the Dardanelles Strait. The Anzac troops had expected open country, but instead were confronted with steep, scrub-covered heights, and climbed the precipitous cliffs under Turkish gunfire. Lambert depicted the landing at the moment when the Australian troops were climbing the steep, rocky hillside. He showed the hugeness of the landscape and the smallness of the men. He portrayed many of the soldiers as dead, or falling, with puffs of smoke in the sky. He wrote: visitors to the Museum ... complain there is a lack of fire, a lack of action and of the terror of war, but on the facts ... we must accept that men equipped as these men were, moving upwards on this particular place, without any idea of where the enemy was, what they had to do, would look just like this small swarm of ants climbing, no matter how rapidly, climbing painfully and laboriously upward through the uneven ground and spiky uncomfortable shrubs (ML MSS A1811, p.75). Lambert portrayed the scene looking up at the cliffs and the mass of soldiers clambering up them, a different perspective from the majority of interpretations of this event, such as Charles Dixon’s The landing at Anzac, 25 April 1915 (Archives, New Zealand) which showed the scene from above with the men climbing out of boats and wading ashore. By adopting this viewpoint Lambert made the seemingly inaccessible heights seem as much the enemy as the Turkish forces. Through his massive canvas, the harsh jagged outline of the cliff and the dark brown mass of the terrain silhouetted against a strident yellowed sky, Lambert conveyed the psychological impact of climbing these slopes. He helped viewers realise the endurance of the soldiers clambering upwards. Through his use of colour and abstract forms, he evoked the emotion of the occasion. And he showed the soldiers as small, faceless figures to create a visual metaphor for the scant regard in which these Australians’ lives were held by those in charge of the campaign. Lambert obtained facts about the landing from the Australian official historian C.E.W. Bean and other members of the Australian Historical Mission during his visit to Gallipoli in February–March 1919. At that time he painted oil sketches of the terrain at Gallipoli. Back in his London studio he made pencil studies of his models, dressed in uniform, as if climbing a steep cliff. From these, and from his oil sketches made on site, Lambert prepared a pencil design of the composition and a rough oil sketch. His son Maurice, an aspiring sculpture student, assisted his father by preparing the canvas and transferring the design onto it from Lambert’s composition drawing. The canvas, advanced this far, was rolled up and shipped out to Australia in February 1921. In Australia, Lambert was assisted by Louis McCubbin, who helped by under-painting the sky, which Lambert worked over afterwards. McCubbin’s assistance was of a mechanical kind, and not visible on the surface of the painting. Alexander Colquhoun reviewed the painting in the Melbourne Herald on 4 May 1922. He wrote: This is not a pretty picture, nor a cheerful one, and there is an uncanny lack of anything individual or personal in the scrambling, crawling, khaki figures scarcely discernible against the rocky precipitous ground. It speaks, however, as a declaration of sacrifice and achievement in a way that no other war picture has done. Colquhoun understood that by representing these Australians climbing this specific cliff, Lambert conveyed the universal experience of people overcoming obstacles. The painting was commissioned by the Australian government through the Australian High Commission in London in 1919, for £500, as part of the official war art scheme. Lambert began the painting in London and completed it in Sydney for the opening exhibition of the Australian War Museum, Melbourne, on Anzac Day 25 April 1922.
