Julia Gillard AC, former Prime Minister for Australia, joined us for an intimate fireside conversation with Carolyn Dawson, CEO of Founders Forum Group. Julia shared insights from her time in office, leading through uncertainty, navigating misogyny in politics and facing intense scrutiny when the stakes were high. She reflected on her current roles at the Wellcome Trust and King's College London, highlighting today’s attitudes towards gender equality and the impact of misinformation on cultural attitudes. Carolyn and Julia unpacked where we are at in the world now: while leaders today face a far less predictable global environment, 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀. In a world shaped by rapid technological change and global instability, Julia ended on an optimistic note: the more digital our world becomes, the more valuable real human connection is. Thank you to Julia and Carolyn for such a thoughtful evening. 💚 Coming together as a community is more important than ever: Interested in having these conversations with other founders?
