In this episode of Looking Outside we look closer at the numbers and what they are telling us, exploring the predictive human powers of Demographics. For this we chat with fellow Aussie, Bernard Salt, Founder & Executive Director of The Demographics Group. As a well known personality, famous for injecting a bit of humor into his public speaking events and newspaper columns, Bernard shares his philosophy on presenting the numbers in a way that is engaging and compelling. He speaks to how to establish the facts, make a strong case, demonstrate your credibility … and be bold enough to have a bit of fun with it. Demographics is a field anchored in sociology, and the numbers, charts, tables of figures are boring standalone; it's the narrative they tell you about people that's interesting. Jo and Bernard discuss the importance of letting the numbers form a story about people, and then sharing that through a compelling narrative that “reaches back in time” and presents future opportunities in context. Bernard also shares his personal experience presenting numbers to senior leaders, or ‘sharks circling the water', how he formed the self-confidence to brave this as someone from a small country town, and his observations of the changing lifestyle and culture of Australians. -- To look outside Bernard focuses on popular culture. When changes happen they don't just show up in the figures but in culture around us, and small actions observed in public can be telling about individual, collective and expressed value shifts. People watching can “speak volumes” about where communities are and where they are headed. -- Bernard Salt is an Australian business advisor, corporate speaker and newspaper columnist.  Bernard has had a long career in corporate consulting mostly as a Partner with KPMG Australia. He founded KPMG Demographics (2002) where he popularized the use of demographics to interpret future business and consumer trends.  He has written 6 popular https://www.amazon.com/Bernard-Salt/e/B001K87NUG?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1666728766&sr=1-1 (books) (2002-2014), hosted a TV show (The Next Five Years 2017-2019) on SkyNews Business, hosted a popular podcast series (What Happens Next 2020-2021), currently writes 2 weekly columns in The Australian newspaper (one since 2002), and for 20 years has delivered more than 100 corporate presentations per year across Australia, New Zealand and beyond including the US. He uses long-term (mostly UN) datasets to show megatrends like the rise of the consumption era (1990-2020) and the advent of the baby bust (2020s) on a country by country basis.  He has invented acronyms to describe social trends like pumcins (professional urban middle class in nice suburbs) and VESPAs (virus escapees seeking provincial Australia/America).  His 2016 column on smashed avocado went viral globally. Bernard is founder and executive director of The Demographics Group (http://www.tdgp.com.au/ (www.tdgp.com.au)).  He was an adjunct professor at Curtin University Business School 2011-2020, a board member of the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) 2014-2018, appointed a member of the Council (board) of the National Museum of Australia in March 2022.  He was made a member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 2017 for his services to demographics. -- Looking Outside is a podcast dedicated to exploring fresh perspectives of familiar business topics.

Shelley insists that diversity is not simply challenging the status quo, it is about having more informed discussions leading to making more informed decisions.   Key Insights (02:29) How did Shelley start her leadership journey? Shelley's family ignited her leadership journey. Shelley's father was known for being kind and inclusive while being softly spoken. Shelley also learnt from her mother and then her cousin, Darren later in life. It was Darren who helped spark her interest in working in the First Nations space. (18:50) What are Shelley's insights of the 2032 Olympic Games and how she feels that it might be a catalyst for diversity in the future? Shelley believes the appointment of First Nations people to the Olympic Board for 2032 is a ten year opportunity implement nation building styled work. By doing so Shelley aims to help Australia and Brisbane celebrate all aspects of being Australian including our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander brothers and sisters. It is a moment of celebration and real pride and there is nothing like sport to bring people together. (22:20) What tool can Shelley share to the audience to add to their Leadership Toolbox? Shelley urges us to stop stepping on eggshells and to educate ourselves on First Nations people, culture, shared history. By doing so you will be able to understand the importance of your involvement and the business case behind it. Finally, don't limit the education to yourself, share it with other people and think about how we can educate our teams and the people around us to they too can be playing their part and be confident.   Important Resources and Links If you'd like to learn more about how CommBank is supporting the growth of women in business visit https://www.commbank.com.au/women-in-focus.html   Host of the Leading Women podcast, Shivani Gopal is a serial entrepreneur, speaker and advocate on a mission to create a more equal world.

Have you ever thought about when you will finally achieve financial freedom? This investor found out – and decided he wanted to retire earlier with the help of property investing. Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant sits down with Nick Valois, an associate director at KPMG Australia, who recounts how he came to the life-changing decision to invest in property after a wake-up call (from a retirement calculator's results) that he would need to work until he's 65 or more to have a comfortable post-work life. Nick, who started his career journey as an apprentice carpenter, shares how his several decades of experience in construction and site management have given him the knowledge to avoid the common pitfalls that investors make when it comes to renovating/extending properties. The duo also talks about the ups and downs in Nick's seven-year investment journey while reflecting on the valuable lessons learned along the way and touching on Nick's future portfolio plans.

In this final episode of the season, we reflect on the future of higher education with Professor Stephen Parker. Over the last 30 years, Stephen has held a number of high-profile roles in the Australian education sector including the Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Canberra, Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President of the Monash University and Director of Global, Development and Strategy at The Conversation. Most recently, Stephen worked as the Special Adviser at KPMG Australia.Stephen discusses the history of higher education, why and how funding structures are changing, and the integration of technology with the student experience. Future predictions, philosophic quotes, and more up next on today's episode of Education Empowered.Key Takeaways:Creatively Engaging with Alumni: Universities are finding creative ways to engage with their alumni, some even piloting free content or guest lecture webinars that relate to the degrees their alumni received. Universities have a large amount of information about each of their students which they could be synthesizing to create up-to-date profiles (information about new jobs and career shifts that person has experienced) 10+ years after graduation. Then you could leverage this data to market to the needs and possible future goals they already have. A Shift in the Way Education is Funded: When education is prohibitively expensive and students aren't able to appreciate the value of in-classroom learning, reform to the way that education is funded needs to happen. Education is starting to see more buy-in and funding from government and businesses who see the need to invest in the most valuable resource of all, human capital. The Power of AI in Higher Education: As the abilities of artificial intelligence advance, their use in education reaches way beyond a conversation about HOW students are being taught, all the way down to WHAT students will be taught and get a degree for. The argument of practicality and applicable use of higher education versus the more academic, study for study's sake continues. Certain highly educated fields may be rendered at least partially useless in the coming decades.  ---If you enjoyed this episode, and want to explore these topics in greater detail, be sure to check out the second edition of Salesforce.org's Connected Student Report.

On the third episode of Radically Honest, your host Dasom Lee brings in this week's Professional—Gary Nowak—global consulting leader and former Partner at KPMG Australia and KPMG China. His impressive career and riveting stories will keep you on your feet. A first-generation college student from Detroit, Gary took a leap of faith and moved to LA post-grad—finance degree in hand. After decades of global experience, he is now a coach striving to guide, mentor, and develop young professionals. If you want to pursue a career in professional services or be successful at any company, tune in. Gary compiled resumés and worked for free his first week as a receptionist at a small production company. His diligence, sincere work ethic, and desire to deliver caught the attention of many. He eventually left the comfort of home in the US, embarking on unfathomable adventures and challenges across the world in offices from Glasgow, United Kingdom, Shanghai, China, to Melbourne, Australia. How do you lead when expectations are unrealistically high and support is low? His mantras are simple but powerful. No one owes you anything. Let humility seep from your actions and uphold your moral character. The more responsibility you are given, the more questions you need to ask. Understand your audience, and specifically the generations that preceded you—because they're the ones hiring. “My mindset shifted from “just roll your sleeves up and get in there” to “ask for help when you need it”” – Gary Nowak. Whether you're a student or a working professional, this episode will equip you with the right attitude and unfiltered stories of leadership, overcoming cultural differences, how to become the change you want to see in your environment, and more. And the best part? Gary is available as “Gary P. Nowak” on LinkedIn—and his mentorship efforts will soon be multiplied as he shares his widespread wisdom unto university campuses.
