We all know that issues of gender equality, sexual harassment & discrimination, and domestic violence, are unfortunately very relevant in our society and workplaces. There is some fantastic energy and momentum building to drive positive change and contributing to this is Amanda Hede and the team at Champions of Change Coalition. I hope you can join in this fantastic session to hear about some of the great work being done and learn how you can be part of change for the better.

Amanda Hede is Program Director, Champions of Change Coalition (Champions of Change) Founding and Health Groups. In this role, Amanda supports CEOs to implement and accelerate change in their organisations to create gender equality.

Prior to working at Champions of Change, Amanda held a range of corporate roles within the Australian Public Service. These roles included leading efforts to create a more diverse workforce and inclusive workplace at the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

Amanda is a music fanatic, and a keen runner - which serves her well as she cares for her indefatigable son, Oscar.

The Champions of Change Coalition is a high-profile coalition of CEOs who step up to listen, learn, and lead on gender equality. It is a globally recognised, innovative strategy for advancing women in leadership and achieving gender equality. As part of the strategy, men of power and influence step up beside women leaders, forming a high-profile coalition to lead change on gender equality issues in their organisations and communities – be they local, national or global. The strategy engages members as ‘champions’ not because they are perfect, but because they publicly commit to leading practical, constructive and disruptive actions to accelerate change.
