MURALI NEELAMEGAM
ANNA SKARBEK
An ongoing supporter of CSL, Murali once again gave generously of his time, expertise and compassion in 2011, to present a deeply affecting workshop on organisational change and to mentor Melbourne Fellow, Katherine Walsh.
Executive Director of ClimateWorks and former senior policy adviser for the Victorian Deputy Premier, Anna Skarbek, shared her insights into government policy and lobbying via an engaging Q & A session at a Melbourne Fellowship Workshop in 2011. Anna also mentored Melbourne Fellow Stephanie Campbell.
Murali’s passion is to support, challenge and inspire people to live professionally and personally in an integrated manner. As a transformative psychologist, his aim is to introduce a set of values, principles and ‘intelligences’ into the workplace. In a holistic manner, he enables individuals, teams and organisations to strive for excellence. He is a strong advocate for developing conditions that provide people with the opportunity to excel; where their unique talents are recognized and valued and they can contribute creatively within an organisation and society. He assists in creating ‘spaces’ where individuals, teams and organisations can reaffirm their desire and passion to be their best and still be true to their values.
Prior to joining ClimateWorks, a not-for-profit developing projects promoting greenhouse gas reductions, Anna was Vice President of Climate Change Capital, a London based Investment Bank specialising in a low-carbon economy. Anna has also worked as an investment banker in Macquarie Bank’s energy and utilities team and as solicitor with Mallesons Stephen Jaques. Anna has served on a number of boards including Big Issue Australia, Amnesty International Australia, the Land Sector Carbon and Biodiversity Board and the Australian Government’s NGO Roundtable on Climate Change. She is also a director of the Carbon Market Institute, Sustainable Melbourne Fund, Thermometer Foundation for Social Research on Climate Change and Linking Melbourne Authority.
