1. Hannah Cutts / Ideator
At 12 years old, Hannah Cutts was interviewed on the English National ‘Radio 1 Roadshow’. When this small Cornish girl with blonde hair was asked who she would most like to be, her rapid response was definite...
“I’D LIKE TO BE DALEY THOMPSON.
Strange as that seems, Hannah has seemingly tried to emulate this decathlete. She has just as many disciplines, albeit in vastly different fields of play. Here’s the difference...
100 metres - surfer (non-professional but committed...was 1984-87 English Iron Woman Champion)
Long Jump - photographer (various clients)
Shot put - graphic designer owner/director
High Jump - lecturer design BA (Think Education)
400 metres - poet
110 metres hurdles - writer (map magazine, industry design publications, desktop magazine...)
Discus throw - artist/instigator LOOK WHAT I FOUND (Edwina Corlette gallery)
Pole vault - blogger (Darthandroger.com, cuttsinmanila.tumblr.com, vimeo.com/hannahcutts)
Javelin throw - speaker (AGDA, BAD, Sydney Design week...)
1500 metres – collector
And just to prove she could go one better – mother!
2. Jan Stewart / Member Experience Lead of Hub Australia and Founder of School of Space
Jan Stewart is passionate about quiet and expanding awareness, and sharing that consciousness in collaborative work spaces. Her fundamental passion is contributing to the evolution of consciousness and culture through service. Her expertise and passion are focused on serving customers. Jan’s work is underpinned by supporting individuals and teams to recognise, and bring to life, their authentic selves, their skills and abilities, and to relate their strengths to serving their customers, clients and members.
Jan played an important role in bringing coworking spaces, Hub Melbourne, Hub Sydney and Hub Adelaide to life and to be thriving workspaces for many. She is a champion for B Corporation Australiaand was instrumental in Hub Australia being the fourth B Corp in Australia.
We are excited to have Jan at Do Lectures Australia to share her message about the power of quiet and expanding awareness.
3. Peter Williams / Mindful Creator
An early embracer of the internet, Peter was quick to understand the positive impacts it could have onhumanity. He has used this medium to great effect in the "Black Saturday" bushfire recovery efforts in Victoria, Australia. Peter was instrumental in creating “community engines” to support and rebuild communities affected by those bushfires - a truly impressive feat.
Peter has improved the lives of many through his mindful and oft-challenging insights. He supports hisdaughter in her gay rights campaigning, lodging a complaint with the Equal Opportunities Commission when she was not permitted to bring her same-sex partner to a school dance.
Peter has been known to go barefoot in the office, usually donning the t-shirt of the latest start-up or a curious quote creating mischief. He has built high performing teams, led hundreds and currently runs the Australian chapter of the Centre for the Edge, a Silicon Valley Applied Research Centre. The Centre identifies and explores emerging opportunities related to big shifts that aren’t yet on the senior management agenda, but ought to be. Peter is an Adjunct Professor at RMIT and a board member of Circus Oz.
A voracious reader on topics from chaos theory to buddhism to disruption, Peter's knowledge is impressive and delightfully vast. At the inaugural Do Lectures Australia, ask Peter what he's reading!
4. Olivia Hilton / Partner, SVA Consulting
A social change leader and perpetual student, Olivia is continually learning about people and how to work with and for them.
Olivia loves tackling strategic problems and cares deeply about improving the lives of the world’s most disadvantaged and disenfranchised populations.
She has a diverse background that ranges from education at Harvard Kennedy School to consulting in Africa for an American NGO focused on assisting men and women in poor rural areas of the developing world.
At Do Lectures Australia, we are eager to learn more about how to access, manage and govern capital, talent and evidence to bring about profound social change
