About

This series of five stories of grassroots leadership by people in the disability sector in Queensland, Australia. These stories of change show us what it means to be a leader and what it takes to create real and meaningful change in the lives of people with disability. These stories are deeply personal, compelling and insightful and teach us a lot about what it means to lead a movement for change. This podcast series is a production of Brisbane-based organisation, Community Resource Unit Ltd. and Hamish Sewell from The Story Project and was funded by the Anne Cross Leadership Initiative. This initiative aims to contribute to the development of strong, principled leadership amongst people with disability and families in order to contribute to better lives for people with disability.
