What if our leaders were humble?

Public trust in government, media and business has been declining in recent years. Many of our institutions and the environment are in crisis. A new approach to leadership is needed - one grounded in respect and responsibility. Could Australia's Indigenous hold the key to a better and sustainable world?

In her TEDxCanberra talk, Dr Tjanara Goreng Goreng introduces the concept of 'sacred leadership' - and shares how the knowledge and practices of Australia's First Nations peoples can teach us all to be better, more humble leaders and custodians of our futures.

Tjanara is a Wakka Wakka Wulli Wulli traditional owner. She was born in 1958 in the outback at Longreach in central western Queensland and has had a fascinating, at times challenging, life plus a diverse and accomplished career.

Tjanara applies western and Indigenous knowledge systems to deliver transformational leadership programs and mentoring.
