Executive Officer's Message

At LBWR we aspire to create a positive future. We focus on inspiring people to lead… to create a more sustainable and connected community. Our ability to create, invest, inspire and shape relies on us being aware of the issues that impact on our future and having the desire to accept the challenge to make a difference.

Leadership Ballarat & Western Region Yearbook 2012

As Father Bob Maguire says, “we are the ones we have been waiting for and it starts with us”.

As a member of any community it is important that we have an understanding of our place and space within it. We can lead positive community change by creating a ‘ripple effect’ through our actions – by connecting, listening, experiencing, thinking, questioning and broadening our understanding. It’s been a pleasure to explore the possibilities for the future of our regional communities with the participants of the 2012 leadership program. We’ve focused on the head, heart and hand of leadership. We’ve explored a breadth of topics, peeling back the many layers to consider the interconnectedness of issues that influence how we, as a community, respond to change, prepare for the future and support others.

A real strength of the 2012 program was the diversity of participants – the group consisted of a melting pot of culture, age, knowledge, skill and industry areas. We were guided by a common desire to learn more and to do more. We explored, learned and came to understand that our ability to influence grows from those you connect to and what you learn about yourself. Thank you to those who have invested in our program year in so many ways: by presenting at program days and evenings, by providing opportunities for us to visit your business, by mentoring or sponsoring, by sharing resources or by partnering with us. But most of all thank you to the community that inspires us, the people within it and the stories you tell. I am blessed by the people I meet each day who positively influence how we think and how we live, locally and globally.

This year a significant milestone was reached by LBWR, with the generous commitment of stable funding by the State Government providing security for our program in the future. Funding has enabled the creation of additional staffing positions and for the first time we are able to provide dedicated support to our growing program alumni. I would like to pay tribute to the former Chairman of the LBWR Committee, Bill Wood, and the former Executive Officer Roger Bade for their efforts over several years to achieve this funding commitment. After five very successful years steering the Leadership Program Roger left with our best wishes to further his career in the education sector. LBWR has been fortunate to welcome Sofia Fiusco to the role as Executive Officer. Sofia has been tackling the challenges of running an expanded program with considerable gusto! I would like to thank the members of the LBWR Committee for their contributions during the year in ensuring the continuation of our successful program.

Session

Participant Reflections Jeff Ashmore Facility Maintenance Planner | City of Ballarat I have found the 2012 leadership program to be the most informative, broad and balanced professional / personal learning that I have been engaged in. I think in a way I would say it has been life changing.

Tim Atkinson Administration Manager | Sargeant Transport The year was eye opening for me and challenged me to think differently about community issues and how they affect all of us. The program has not just broadened my knowledge of the community but challenged me in areas that have improved my confidence and helped me through the first year of my promotion to administration manager. I took a lot out of each program day and am grateful for the opportunity to learn from very experienced and knowledgeable people. The highlights of the year were the Canberra trip and the opportunity to have an experienced mentor that I got a lot out of for my personal growth and for the company I work for. I hope that with this extra knowledge about leadership and the community to be more involved than I was before going into the program. I wish to thank Sofia and the team at LBWR and all the participants of the program for this fantastic experience.

Jo Brennan Group Administration Supervisor | JG King Building Group 2012 LBWR has been an amazing experience. We have met with inspirational and inspiring people. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise what a sheltered protected life you have until you start to see others who live in challenging circumstances. I plan to take what I have learned and put more back into our small community. I want the town to grow, become more neighbourly and go back to a time where people rallied behind and supported one another. I believe I have more to give and that running for or even just attending council meetings would help me understand the issues we all face and what I can help my town with. It all starts with ME. The approach to change in the community is vital; to pick the right time and place sets the scene for positive and productive change. Together we can achieve so much more. Although human nature often gets in the way, I need to rise above that to become a leader. Always remembering that without followers, we are not leaders. Having young children, I want them to share in the community activities and grow up with positive and open minds. To become non-judgmental and aspire to lead others, including myself through good times, hard times and change. When starting this journey I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I was in for. Having been through it, I would not change a thing and cannot encourage others enough to put your hand up and take on the task of becoming a leader of the future.

Belinda Cushing Area Sales Manager | Telstra My year with LBWR has given me a huge insight into the community I call home. It has encouraged me to peel back the layers and not just look at things at face value, but really understand what makes up our region and how positive change can come about. Throughout the year I have felt challenged, supported and most of all empowered to get involved. I have learnt that small change can make a big difference with the ripple effectâ&#x20AC;Ś and what am I waiting for?

Andrea Carroll Economic Development Officer | City of Ballarat

LBWR 2012 has impacted me on number of levels both personally and professionally. The diversity of topics covered in our program days has afforded me a much greater understanding and appreciation of issues facing the Ballarat community. The personal connections I have made with my LBWR peers has enriched my experience of the program greatly. The LBWR program provided me with the opportunity to meet local and national leaders, visit organisations and attend events that I would not normally have access to. Some of my favourite program days were our Canberra trip to Parliament House and the Langi Kal Kal visit. My experience of individual days / topics was often surprising - some of my greatest learnings came from programs that I thought were not going to be as interesting or appealing to me. Often this was a result of the way topics were explored and discussed on a deeper level within the group and the openness of our guest presenters. Within my Syndicate, my experience was overwhelmingly positive. Made up of a mix of behaviour profile types we just seemed to fit well together and we worked productively as a team that challenged and fully supported each other. As we approach the end of the program year, my thoughts are turning to how the past 12 months will serve me and allow me to serve others in the future. I am very grateful for my LBWR 2012 experience and for the opportunity it provided to explore leadership with such a great group of people.

Angela Connor Branch Manager | People @ Work I have found the LBWR program to be a great opportunity to connect and increase my awareness of the broader issues and challenges for the Ballarat and surrounding regions. The opportunity to come together with like-minded individuals outside of my workplace, has exposed me to different opinions and the different experiences of individuals. I now have a broader understanding and perspective of the diversity and complexity of community challenges and the importance of collaborative leadership.

Andrew Eales Editor | The Courier Being part of this year's program broadened my view on the many challenges facing the region. Understanding these issues and discussing them in the leadership environment makes you think that real positive change is possible. I think the program gives you a great sense of why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to be an active member of your community.

What is a great journey? A great journey by my definition is one which challenges your thoughts and ideals and forces you to examine the world with a critical and reflective perspective. A great journey leaves you with memorable experiences which have enhanced your life and those around you and provides you with the skills, aspiration and knowledge to achieve great things in the world. A great journey gives you vision and clarity and exposes you to diversity, ethical challenges, financial hardship and strategies to tackle the hard issues. A great journey allows you to practise many varied skills and attributes you never thought you had. A great journey teaches you empathy, respect and strength you never thought you had. I had had an exceptional journey with LBWR 2012 and will never forget it.

My year with LBWR has given me a huge insight into the community I call home.

Participant Reflections Leeanne Greenwood Quality Assurance Practice Advisor | Lisa Lodge This year has offered many new experiences and has allowed me to develop a deeper awareness of the complex needs and issues the community faces along with ways I can better influence and lead. I found it a valuable experience which has directly influenced my professional work approach, expanded my leadership tools and challenged me to engage in my wider community in the near future. Over the year I have thoroughly enjoyed the guest speakers, session reflections and, most of all, the Canberra trip. I found the participants of the 2012 program to be a motivated and engaged group, willing to exchange ideas, consult with one another and always provide honest and respectful feedback. The 2012 LBWR program has definitely broadened my insight into community issues and highlighted many opportunities that I am passionate about. I hope to become involved and make a difference in my home town as well as continue to build upon the friendships and connections made this year. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Lisa Lodge for initially sponsoring me, Berry Street for their continued support and LBWR for organising such a worthwhile program.

Michelle Harper Acting Project Manager | Ballarat Health Services The 2012 Leadership Ballarat & Western Region program was an enriching experience and has provided me with opportunities that I might never otherwise have been exposed to in the course of my career. This program offered an experiential learning experience that was challenging, rewarding and prosperous. Over the course of the year this program gave me the opportunity to participate and engage in a range of activities that fostered both professional and personal growth. The program helped to develop skills, explore leadership styles and practices and build confidence. I believe that through participation in the program will allow me to work more effectively in my role at Ballarat Health Services. I have gained insights into a range of social issues, developed practical leadership skills and learned from guest speakers who shared very open, honest thoughts and experiences. I feel privileged to have been a part of this unique initiative. I have valued my time with the LBWR program and the opportunity to form a network of support with other emerging leaders from within the local region.

Barry Kay Interpretive Theatre Development Manager | Sovereign Hill The leadership program has been an invaluable opportunity for me to learn more about myself and my community, and ways in which I can do more to improve both. It has been a rewarding learning experience.

Marnie Kerridge Teacher of the Deaf | Forest Street Primary School

How does one sum up a fantastic year of professional and personal learning? Participating in the Leadership Ballarat & Western Region was easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. When I began, I had specific views on various issues. I had an opinion about water conservation, law and punishment, business management, social welfare issues, youth engagement and education, to name a few. The challenge was for me to re-evaluate my opinions, to weigh up contrasting views and evidence, and to realise that sometimes not everything it as clear-cut as it seems. It also made me question how and where I get my information from to formulate such views. Listening, debating, consulting and talking are definitely important keys in leading to better choices for people in the community. I came to this course hoping to expand my skills as a deaf person and to validate my leadership in the mainstream and deaf communities. I hoped to educate and remind people of the importance of inclusion, equality and respect. I also came to find out how the rest of the community truly valued minority groups and to show their importance and value. It has been a wonderful journey and I am truly excited by my personal and professional growth. The possibilities and ideas that have stemmed from this year’s involvement will ensure exciting times ahead. I look forward to leading community change and making our society even more inclusive. LBWR – thanks for making my involvement and inclusion possible and for allowing me to grow.

Larelle Kuczer Social Worker The LBWR experience will be a tough one to beat! LBWR has provided amazing exposure to people, places, ideas and understandings I wouldn't have otherwise. I feel much richer for the experience and I have a much stronger picture of our region and its strengths and challenges. I have developed a connection with a bunch of incredible like-minded people, many of whom I may not otherwise have had exposure to! Similarly the opportunity to learn from an amazing learning partner is unbeatable and the Canberra experience has awakened me to so much more regarding leadership and decision making. Thanks to Sofia, Julie, Alana and Committee for Ballarat. All that's left now is to give a little back!

Beth Lamont President | Ballarat Toy Library Honour and privilege are what comes to mind when reflecting on LBWR 2012. To be part of such an amazing group of people is an honour, and to have had the experiences that we now share is a privilege. I have gained so much through this program, in self-development, in learning for the good of my organisation and in knowledge of the region and the issues affecting it. The connections and networks we are forming are a particularly fantastic element of this program. It has been a wonderful way to connect with Ballarat as a town/region and to a community where we can really make a difference. I hope to continue giving back to the community in my future endeavours, and will, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure, always value the knowledge, wisdom and connections gained through this program. Many thanks to all involved.

Andrew McManus Operations Manager | Mars Chocolate Australia The Leadership program has taught me that Ballarat is a fantastic place to live. I have met so many wonderful people throughout this year both in and out of the program. My reflection is that, as a community too much is being left to an ever decreasing number. Personally I feel like I am so focussed on my career that I am not participating at all in a community role and this is something I would like to focus on and change.

Bobby Mehta Pharmacy Manager | UFS Dispensaries What a fantastic, often absorbing and always intriguing year of discovery! I have learnt not only about the region where I live but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also learnt so much about myself, others and what it takes to become a real leader and to inspire meaningful change. The program is delivered in an easily digestible, all inclusive, thought-provoking manner. I feel enriched and empowered and feel I have learnt so, so much.

The leadership program has opened my eyes to not only the challenges that face our community but also to some of the great work and projects that are in progress in our community. It has inspired me to become a more involved community member, to be more open-minded regarding community issues and to make contact with other aspiring leaders. Meeting the other program participants has allowed me to make some new friendships with like-minded people and has enabled me to see leadership in other areas outside of my own work and social contacts. I have loved every program day and would recommend this program to anyone.

Tim Owen Finance Manager | Moorabool Shire Council Throughout the year we heard from so many inspiring people and were exposed to so many great things that are being done every day in our community. The most compelling observation for me was simply the passion of the people who presented to the group. It was so obvious that they truly cared about and believed in what they were doing. The other key messages that I learnt through the year is that one person can make a difference and that our community would be a better place if people simply took action. It sounds straightforward. However, what I have learnt is that people get caught up in their own worlds and are oblivious to what is happening all around them in their own community. I have certainly been guilty of this. The LBWR program has shown me so much, and that has helped me identify areas of interest where I think I can make a difference to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. It has also helped me find a passion that has me excited about the future. The program has genuinely inspired and motivated me to find my place as a leader within my community. I do not see myself as a public leader. However, I do see myself holding a position on a board of an organisation that I truly believe in. I will also continue to quietly assist causes that I believe in.

Participant Reflections Jodie Perry Senior Accountant | McCain Foods (Aust) Pty Ltd The 2012 leadership program has been an amazing experience which has challenged my thinking in relation to both leadership and the wider community. Surrounded by a supportive and fantastic group of participants we gained years of experience from hearing the stories, challenges and advice of the many great leaders who are part of our community today. While I have been a contributor in my community for many years the program has lead me to think about how I can be more efficient and effective in contributing my time. The passion shown by all of the leaders who spoke with us inspired me to find those things I am truly passionate about and to become involved. It was also really nice to be reminded that community is simple; it all comes down to what “you” do. “You” are really the only person who can make a difference to what happens in our community today and into the future. I thank my employer McCain Foods for giving me the opportunity to be part of this experience as it has given me the confidence to continue to pursue leadership opportunities. I have learnt many lessons about leadership but the one that clearly sticks in my mind is to lead by example. To me this means you roll up your sleeves and get involved in the real work, you only display behaviour you expect of your team and you communicate relentlessly. Thanks LBWR for a thoroughly enriching experience and I look forward to continuing to network long into the future.

Jo Powell Accountant Participation in the LBWR Program in 2012 has presented a wonderful opportunity with exposure to information about such a wide variety of issues, organisations and people throughout the year. I am grateful for the honesty and passion of those that have taken the time and trouble to speak to our group and for the commitment and dedication shown by my LBWR 2012 colleagues and indeed all involved in the organisation and delivery of the program.

Norman Prueter Beaufort Community Resource Centre & Library Services Co-Coordinator | Pyrenees Shire Council When I started the leadership program, I was very happy with who I was and my personal achievements. What I was missing was a connection to my local community. The leadership program is one of the best things that has happened to me since my arrival in Australia. The main reason for this is the participants I was able to share this experience with. From the start to the end there was such a positive vibe within the group with a lot of openness and a willingness to learn new things and hear different point of views. I also highly value that there was no pre-judgmental behaviour. I loved every minute of spending time with my Learning Partner Garry Davis and listening to Kraig Grime from Leading Teams at our planning days. I enjoyed being exposed to so many different guest speakers who I would otherwise not have been able to meet and listen to. The program has certainly widened my horizon. It was interesting to see that so many positive things are happening in our region that I have not been aware of. It was also very encouraging to see so many committed and passionate community members contributing to the community they are living in. Personally I have used this experience to redefine my own set of values, what is important to me and what I want to stand for. I feel stronger and more part of the community.

Jodie Rykers Project Coordinator | KidsMatter Primary

Participation in the LBWR program has been a privilege and has enabled me to develop myself further as a leader and gain an awareness of the challenges and opportunities for our region. Throughout this past year I have engaged and interacted with local and national leaders. This has enabled me to critically reflect on my own abilities as a leader as well as broaden my understanding of the many different roles leaders can play. Whether you are the CEO of a major company, a member of a grassroots local committee or a community member supporting others, you are a leader and can make a difference. Through collaboration we as a community can together, in our own way, plan and work to create a bright future for all of us. “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Gandhi

Sean Simpson Area Manager | Elders Rural Services Being part of LBWR during 2012 has given me a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of our community and the challenges that face the people within it. The exposure to not-for-profit organisations, small business, large-scale familyowned businesses, corporates and government departments gave us enormous insight and the advice and experiences we gained were invaluable. A real benefit of the LBWR program was the mix of both community awareness and quality leadership training. Events such as the evening with Father Bob Maguire were enlightening. This evening and many others touched on the responsibility we have for those who are less fortunate. With this deeper level of understanding we can now go forward and hopefully have some impact on helping to make positive changes to our community.

Christopher Stevens IT Manager â&#x20AC;&#x201C;| Haymes Paint My initial motivation for participating in LBWR was to assist in my personal development and, while the year has enabled me to do this, it has been the engagement with other participants and the community that has had the greatest impact. This has enabled me to gain a better understand of the workings of our community and has shown me that individuals can make a difference, as there are some amazing individuals in our community doing great work that is making a difference. This has caused me to question my beliefs and has highlighted the need to always question to influence positive decision making. The program has instilled in me a desire to be involved in the wider community and I am now looking to nominate for council in the next council elections in four yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time once my children are more independent.

Dawn Tschujasehenko Coordinator Community Engagement | Moorabool Shire Council I am privileged to have been a participant of the 2012 LBWR Leadership Program. The program has made me more aware of the key issues and challenges facing our region and has empowered me to seek out opportunities to contribute to the community to achieve positive social, economic and environmental change. The opportunity to connect, learn from and build lasting relationships with fellow participants has been a highlight. Despite a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds, bonds have been created within the group that are likely to last a lifetime. We have all shared our stories and experienced some exciting times and some challenging times. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve laughed, cried, debated and contemplated. I feel fortunate to have met such amazing, community-minded people with such rich backgrounds and life experiences.

Janelle Ryan Communications Director | The Little PR Company

Leadership Ballarat & Western Region Yearbook 2012

The Leadership Ballarat & Western Region program is not only an opportunity to explore the mechanics of a community, but also a journey of self-exploration and education. It really is the perfect social experiment and gave me the chance to develop a personal understanding of what my community means to me, to learn the importance of understanding/respecting difference and to develop knowledge about how I can contribute to make a positive impact. After spending the year with a group of extremely diverse individuals, I take away a new view of what makes a 'leader'. Every single one of the participants brought something of extreme value to the program. I feel privileged to have been able to work closely alongside them and I am confident in Ballarat's future.
