How do you cope when employees, customers, and other stakeholders are more demanding than ever before? It's impossible to solve every problem, but you can partner with others - even outside your industry - to solve complex challenges and meet rising demands. Use cross-industry collaboration to unlock innovative solutions, share resources, and strengthen your organisation.https://swiy.co/go-cross-industry-collaborationHow are you coping – and planning to cope – with our fast-changing world in 2025?You don't need a futurist to tell you our world is changing faster than ever before, and we're going to face a lot more change, uncertainty, and disruption in the future.We're all experiencing this every day. But as a leader, how are you managing and navigating your team through that?Leaders have a dual responsibility now. On one hand, you have to navigate this change and lead your team through it. And on the other hand, you must keep an eye on the future so you can take advantage of the opportunities that change brings.The problem is people expect more.Customers are more demanding.Our employees are more demanding.Other stakeholders are more demanding.It's not enough to simply try to pedal faster and faster to keep up. It's tempting to try, but you will burn out. And even if you don't, it's impossible to keep up.So, what can you do instead?Instead of trying to solve all your problems internally, partner and collaborate with other organisations. It doesn't even need to involve people within your industry. You just need people who can help you solve problems you're not equipped to solve.This idea is called cross-industry collaboration, and it's rapidly gaining steam.I'm sure you have seen examples of it aready – for example:Woolworths partners with OzHarvest to provide surplus food to charities so that they don't waste it.Telstra and the Royal Flying Doctor Service are collaborating to increase the number of telehealth services for people in regional areas.The National Australia Bank (NAB) is partnering with Good Shepherd Microfinance to provide small micro-loans to customers who NAB isn't equipped to serve.This idea of cross-industry collaboration is one of ten key trends I've identified for leaders in 2025. I'm running an online presentation soon about these trends.I won't cover them all, but instead will focus on three key trends: one about customers, one about employees, and the other focused on you as a leader.This presentation is free and open to everybody. So please register and feel free to invite others in your team, especially leaders.Register for the virtual masterclass:https://swiy.co/go-cross-industry-collaboration Hosted on Acast.

Whether you love them or loathe them, there's no denying that snakes are an inevitable part of life in regional Australia - particularly if you live in or around our beautiful bushlands. But what would YOU do if you - or someone you were with - were to suffer a suspected snake bite? And what happens if you're hundreds of kilometers from help or emergency advice? Over a one-year period (as part of a larger, three-year study) the RFDS (Western Operations) found that 85 people from regional, rural, remote and very remote Western Australia were flown by Royal Flying Doctor Service to hospital for suspected or confirmed snake bites. While only five of these patients (6%) ultimately received a toxicologist's diagnosis of envenomation, the research showed just how challenging a remote or regional 'suspected snake bite' scenario can be. Dr Hamish Bradley is an adjunct Lecturer, Anaesthetist and Aeromedical Retrieval Specialist and he's pretty passionate about keeping us all just a little bit safer this snake season!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr Michael Livingston from Livingston Medical joined Julie-Anne Sprague on 6PR Afternoons to discuss how he feels that the Government's commitment to sign a new 10-year contract with the Royal Flying Doctor Service worth more than $800 million is an enormous amount of money for a service that should only be called as a last resort and could be spent in better places in the regions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Once our heart rates settle down, we make a plan to unhitch the van and change the tyre on the side of the highway. What a feat in less than ideal conditions... heat, thousands of flies and a sloping run off, made jacking up the 79 an effort in itself!  We limp into Marla and sort a spare tyre from the local repairer, and enjoy an impromptu overnighter at the Marla Travellers Rest Roadhouse, before hitting the road again early the next morning. But our vehicle troubles didn't stop with the flat, as we experience uncontrollable shaking through the steering at speeds over 70km per hour, so it's back to Marla to try and figure out what on earth is going on with the 79!  Despite all the challenges this week we are reminded of the incredible generosity of others, and are so grateful for the help we received in such trying circumstances.  Plus we are excited to be supporting the brilliant work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service through a new partnership that will have you feeling good in more ways than one!  We've teamed up with Tim Adams Wines and Mr. Mick to donate $20 per dozen wines purchased using our FEELGOOD 15% discount code, to our favourite charity, the RFDS.

This week our guest is the former Member of Parliament and Minister of Health, Dr. Jonathan Coleman. Dr. Coleman spent almost 13 years as the MP for Northcote, and during that time was a key member of the inner circle in John Key's National Party led government. During his parliamentary career he held Ministerial responsibility for health, broadcasting, sport & recreation, immigration and state services. His early career saw him practising medicine in New Zealand and overseas and he even had a stint as a doctor on Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service. During the Leaders Getting Coffee podcast, he speaks to Bruce about the importance of local communities, why centralising health decision making is wrong, and the newly announced funding for Pharmac. As a former Minister of Health, Coleman has a unique perspective on the state of our health services, the things we do well and the areas where we under-perform. He openly discusses the financial constraints in the health sector and  the challenges of recruitment in the international marketplace for talent.  Finally, he discusses the decision to go from the top job in the Health Ministry, back to life as a suburban GP.  As someone who once put his hand up to be Prime Minister, in the wake of John Key's resignation, we hear what he would do, if he was PM for a day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Australian outback is vast and the population is really spread out. This makes getting access to emergency healthcare incredibly challenging, as you may be a thousand kilometres or more from the nearest major hospital. The solution? Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service – one of the largest aeromedical organisations in the world, and, at nearly 100 years old, the first of its kind.In this bonus episode of the podcast, Australia reporter Alice Klein speaks to two RFDS team members about some of their incredible rescue operations, from saving a man who crashed his motorbike into an emu, to rescuing a child with a broken femur.

Philip lives in regional Victoria with his seeing-eye dog Sally. A few years ago Philip had to get laser surgery on his only eye that had partial sight, and needed help to get to the hospital and back again, so the Royal Flying Doctor Service patient transport service assisted him. This podcast interview is a glimpse into the life of someone who lives independently with a disability (and takes on that challenge with gusto and enthusiasm).  Philip has been listening to the Flying Doctor podcast and had reached out to me with questions about Flying Doctor planes to find out if seeing-eye dogs are permitted onboard with their owners (they are).  If you want to learn more about Philip you can see his website at https://latrobemusic.com/.   ****** Thanks so much for listening to the Flying Doctor Podcast.

SBS-Korrespondentin Barbara Barkhausen hat mit der Sydneysiderin über ihr Abenteuer gesprochen und natürlich auch darüber, wie sie im „echten“ Australien zurechtgekommen ist.

Presbyterian Minister John Flynn had a desire to bring "a mantle of safety" to those living in the remote areas of Australia.  WWI Australian fighter pilot John Clifford Peel suggested a blueprint for such a service.  Alf Traeger tested and designed equipment that would allow communication across the outback and Hudson Fysh acquired the planes that could be used by an Aerial Medical Service.  The vision and tenacity of Flynn brought all these ideas & people together to create one of the most outstanding, helpful and appreciated services in Australia.  Something that still serves those in remote & rural Australia since it's beginning in 1928.

Have you ever thought about rebuilding yourself through property? Julie Wyatt, from Perth, Australia has been on a journey of rebuilding herself. After a divorce that left her physically, emotionally and mentally broken, she went after her love for renovations, and entered a competition that changed her life. This competition took Julie from a broken life to fixing broken houses. However, before renovating old and worn out homes into beautiful places to live, Julie began her career as a registered nurse. For about 38 years she had the opportunity to work in some isolated areas, from being a flight nurse with a Royal Flying Doctor Service, which is a remote area retrieval service, to working in hospitals. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Her renovating journey was 12 months of rebuilding her confidence, rebuilding her thought process about who she was, and what she could do. It was deep and challenging in every way, but worth it! The unknown was challenging and when not understanding at first why she was cutting pictures out of magazines and creating a vision board, this uncertainty led to rebuilding a broken life by renovating broken property into beautiful places to live. Julie definitely has a desire to fix the broken. Her love for renovating the old into something beautiful has generated over $1 million in profit on a part time basis. She has turned her renovations into Air BnB's and has been featured in “Your Investment Property Magazine” and Real Estate Talk.com.au. FIXING BROKEN HOUSE AND REBUILDING BROKEN LIVES While every house and every person has a story, it's all about how you recoup and move on. The basics and principles are the same. You need to declutter from the inside out. It's not just renovating property, but changing your mindset as well. When teaching someone about renovations, it's always the nuts and bolts of renovating and how to do this and how to do that. But it's really more about mindset, and how you actually teach someone how to do this, is by not losing sight of what it is that you need to do. Julie thinks one thing COVID has taught us right, is that we don't have to be hamstrung by where we are. You can do anything. You can coach virtually, and look at someone's house and get a pretty good idea what their house looks like, even though it might be in a different country. Don't let the distance stop you from reaching out to Julie. The basics and the principles of renovating remain the same and seeing it virtually is no problem at all.

Brave New Women hosted by Cecilia PoullainFor over 20 years, Caetlin Jopson provided medical care to the  Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in rural, remote and urban areas.  She also worked with the Royal Flying Doctor Service for over 7 years delivering women's health to remote communities.Caetlin trained at Sydney University and has a Diploma in Tropical Medicine, a Master's in Public Health and Tropical medicine and FRACGP.   She is currently studying a Post graduate certificate in Travel medicine and is passionate about tropical medicine.She gives us a short history of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people then shares her story of how she started working with these people and how her eyes were opened on racism in Australia and indeed her own, unconscious racism.  She discusses how the physical and mental health of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has been infused by trans-generational trauma and the particularities of working with them.  Because of the poor health of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, she has had to deal with a very wide range of medical conditions, often with very little support.  Despite this, her peers saw her as a lesser doctor - and a lesser person.  She considers it an honor to work with these people.Caetlin's enthusiasm and desire to learn are irrepressible and her care for this  community is evident in every word she says.I am running a free webinar - "Women Empower Women" - on Tuesday 27 April.  Check it out here:  https://mailchi.mp/ac893611d578/gu7xgku6p7I would love to hear any comments you might have on this episode and respond to any questions.  You can find me on the Brave New Women Facebook page, on Linkedin or on my website:  www.ceciliapoullain.com.Cecilia PoullainFounder of Brave New WomenCoach - Empowering Women to Find their VoiceMusic:  Stephen Marquis www.songsta.com.au Editing: Talal BourokiCecilia PoullainFounder of Brave New WomenCoach - Empowering Women to Find their Voice

The roles have been reversed and podcast favourite Lucy Bartholomew is interviewing ME for the 20th episode. Despite some reluctance on my end, Lucy convinced me that it is nice for you (the listener) to know more about the person interviewing all of these epic guests! Despite being interviewed on many other podcasts over the years, this surprisingly felt exposing - which is a healthy reminder for me in my role as host! Neither Lucy or I held back in what we shared. So here it is, and our regular conversations will continue in the next episode!!! We discuss: •the journey from awkward kid who avoided sport into someone who creates expedition and adventure races around the world. •our mutual admiration for Rich Roll •getting caught in the conveyer belt of perceived success •the power of storytelling across platforms •the process of allowing ideas to grow - from the initial idea, who you should share them with & the analytical phase. •how to be of value in collaborative teams •how the relief run came to life and raised over $1million in 12 days •imposter syndrome - when/where I've felt it & how I know navigate through it •taking ownership over how we communicate about ourselves •who I would want to sit at a dinner table with A brief snapshot into me: After a decade of study, I became a lawyer working for the largest international law firm in the world - Baker & McKenzie. I traded in my heels & mini tailored suit (which we discuss in the episode) for running shoes and I have spent the following decade using running, adventure and storytelling as a vehicle for social impact. Specifically, in the space of access to education; women's empowerment and supporting First Nations communities and organisations. I was the first woman to complete the 4 Deserts Grand Slam; traversed 3500kms across India on foot and completed the World's Toughest Race. I am a proud Goodwill Ambassador for World Vision Australia, the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia and a corporate presenter. Last December I married Mark Wales, who I met on the set of Survivor. Together we have a wild two-year-old called Harry. I have raised $1.5 million dollars for charities such as World Vision, Save the Children and the Australian Red Cross, with the talent and time of some epic people.
