The true difference between leaders and managers comes down to ethics. Managers may make the ‘right’ choice, or the popular choice.

Leaders push past standard customs and practices, and will follow their moral code to make decisions.

Dr Simon Longstaff, Executive Director of The Ethics Centre, has structured his life around philosophy and ethics, after it was modelled to him by his mother when he was just a child, and continued during his early career on Groote Eylandt.

True leadership is not about living and modelling a perfect ethical life, there is no such thing, but making conscious choices that align with core values, and sometimes that takes enormous moral courage.

Adam Ferrier: Building a brand, nurturing creativity, and embracing the unconventional

Adam Ferrier has spent his life trying to understand people, and how to capture their attention. A consumer psychologist by trade, he wrote his master’s thesis on what makes some people “cool” and others not.

The founder of creative agency Thinkerbell, Adam believes that brands and people must first “fit in” with the rules of their category before they can truly be distinctive and stand out. He prioritises creativity, and nurturing amongst his team, his work, and every day life.

Consistently challenging conventions, Adam is a true creative leader, and whether you consider yourself a creative or not, his unconventional methods could change the way you show up and lead.

Broden Kelly was one of Australia’s original content creators, alongside his comedy troupe, Aunty Donna, they pioneered success in the online medium.

Sure, the group may have accidentally stumbled across Youtube in search of bigger dreams, their success is no accident. Broden has embraced rejection, resilience and creativity, to become one of our most successful comedy talents.

The real secret to his success? Collaboration, and not just the two recognisable faces you see beside him on his comedy skits, but everyone behind the scenes, who through trust and hard work, have mastered a creative workflow.

Just like Broden, success and contentment can be found in collaboration and moving outside of the ordinary.

Childhood was full of adventure,it never had to be sought out or actively practiced, it happened daily, without thought or much effort, but as we grow the art of adventure begins to shrink.

Beau Miles wanted to keep the magic of childhood and adventure in his everyday, and has managed to carve out a life as a professional adventurer, combining his work as a filmmaker and his love of play.

Beau believes that adventuring is a personal challenge, and requires us to step out of our comfort zone to embark on an adventure, but they don’t have to be big or complex to be worthwhile.

Although Beau’s adventures have consisted of running a marathon in a hotel, and running abandoned railway lines, and has led to him amassing a global audience on Youtube, he will inspire you to inject more play, curiosity and adventure into your own life.
