Already taught to think outside the box, participants in the Leadership Great South Coast program were challenged to think – what if the box doesn’t exist?

Local leaders, Kylie Gaston and Emily Lee-Ack set the scene for what was a day of blue sky thinking, as the emerging leaders were presented with the regions strategic direction and the behind the scenes work that goes on to ensure the priorities of the community are kept front of mind in Government.

Already beginning to think big about long term possibility for the region, the program participants were blown away by the future direction of a new industrial revolution, as CEO of Australian 3D Manufacturing Association Mike De Souza explained the 3D manufacturing technology that will change every aspect of life as we know it.

Mr De Souza facilitated the day where the aspiring leaders were challenged to question the world as they know it, and to think of the opportunities that could emerge if the possibilities for growth were endless.

Leadership Great South Coast (LGSC) provides an annual community leadership program for aspiring and emerging leaders drawn from all sectors of the Great South Coast region.

LGSC participants are drawn from the business, community and government sectors, allowing participants to benefit from a variety of perspectives when considering the nature of leadership and the future of our community and economy.

Thank you to our guest speakers, Chair of the Great South Coast group Kylie Gaston, Great South Coast Regional Partnership Chair, Emily Lee-Ack and Mike De Souza and to our sponsor, Wannon Water.
