Our leadership proposition:

‘Pursuing social change is more of an art than a science. There is no

fixed model. No curricula. No rules. No guarantee.

It’s about reading power. Building relationships. Framing issues.

Honing messages. Mobilising supporters. Bringing pressure to bear.

All of this in an increasingly complex, networked society in which

assumptions that held even a year ago no longer hold.’

Sue Tibballs, CEO, Sheila McKechnie Foundation
