“It was the furthest thing from a day spa, but it gave me space.”
Jennifer Galloway has a hectic life - a young family and a busy job as Acting General Manager covering three portfolios - Workforce, Communications and Adoption (WCA) at AgriFutures Australia.
Day-to-day, Jen leads a team dedicated to effectively delivering AgriFutures’ research outcomes to the people that need them most. She also ensures the WCA team’s communication efforts extend to attracting a motivated and future-ready agricultural workforce, while helping build their leadership skills.
But for Jen, participating in the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation’s Australian Agribusiness Leadership Program (AALP) meant suddenly finding herself on the receiving end of her everyday work.
Tune in to the latest episode of #AgriFuturesOnAir’s Capacity Building miniseries to hear Jen discuss what it’s like being forced to be vulnerable, and how the ARLP helped her understand who she is a leader, and the leader she wants to be.
