Join Rebekah Campbell as she chats with Judith Barker, CEO of St John Ambulance Australia (NT) Inc. on the crucial role that empathy plays, the power of saying yes and how leadership can come from anyone at any time in the workplace.   Key Insights  (01:30) How did Judith start her leadership journey?  Judith started almost 25 years ago in WA working for the ambulance service as a paramedic. As she became more confident in her role, Judith realised that she needed challenge and change to keep herself stimulated and interested. Judith started saying yes to any opportunities that came her way, and began to recognise her strengths and where she needed improvement. So she continually searched for opportunities that would complement her education and grow her skill set.     (12:08) Was there ever a time where Judith felt that maybe she shouldn’t be in her position?  Imposter syndrome is something Judith has felt throughout her career. When being the only woman in the room, it’s especially easy to feel like you don’t belong. To overcome this feeling, Judith regularly checked in with herself to reassure herself that actually, she did belong in that room and knew she had something worthwhile to contribute.     (25:47) What tool can Judith share with the audience to add to their Leadership Toolbox?  Judith shares that you can’t do this alone and you have to know your people, know your tribe and know who you can turn to because it can be a lonely job at the top.     Important Resources and Links   If you’d like to learn more about how CommBank is supporting the growth of women in business visit https://www.commbank.com.au/women-in-focus.html    Host of the Leading Women podcast, Rebekah Campbell is a high-profile entrepreneur and public speaker who spoke at TEDx Sydney (2012).
