Post by Koda Capital

Kelly O'Shanassy is one of Australia’s most recognised environmental leaders, having led the Australian Conservation Foundation for over a decade. In Episode 19 of With Purpose, she sits down with Koda Capital Head of Philanthropy & Social Capital & Partner David Knowles to reflect on what it takes to lead in pursuit of long-term environmental outcomes, often in the face of slow progress and complex systems. Key reflections from the discussion: - Influence is built over time through trust and consistency - Progress is often incremental, not immediate - Relationships matter as much as strategy - Conviction and optimism are both required to sustain momentum A thoughtful reminder that meaningful change is rarely immediate, but built through sustained effort and clarity of purpose.
