The podcast series is hosted by Dr Ann Wallace, Higher Education Management & eLearning Specialist. This series of ten episodes will feature Dr Wallace speaking with prominent females from each region of the Commonwealth to discuss “the road to female leadership”; conversations about the path to leadership and development as a female in the education, business, government, non-government, entrepreneurship, and health sectors.

Leadership should be based on values and not egos. Ms Elizabeth Kité, Founding CEO of Take The Lead Tonga and Serial Entrepreneur and Dr Ann Wallace discuss the essential factors needed for influential leaders. They talk about embracing your community, prioritising time for your mission and yourself, knowing the importance of culture, tradition, and ancestry, and realising that everyone can be a leader.
