to a women’s magazine. We
celebrate strong, fearless, and
ambitious women who are born
to lead with power and dignity.
Our content is crafted for
sophisticated Hepburn women

Hello and welcome to our preview edition of Hepburn. This year has
been challenging for all and in the typical Australian fighting spirit,
I decided to launch a magazine for women to celebrate amazing women
who have achieved in their business, professional or public life and to
inspire women who are starting their journey or moving on a new path.
Hepburn is a new approach to a women’s magazine. We know women
love magazines and a good flip book is great. But in this digital age we
wanted to provide our readers with a choice on how they subscribe to
our magazine content. We also wanted to address accessibility.
So I embarked on a journey to deliver a multimedia magazine for our
readers. The Hepburn woman can enjoy our articles as she pleases,
whether that be reading our digital issue, sitting back and holding our
print issue, watching our YouTube channel or listening to selected articles
via podcast.
This month Hepburn launched our In Conversation with Amazing
Australian Women a monthly serial of interviews with a premiere interview
on YouTube. Our Amazing women series is a conversation with women
who have achieved success in business, professional or public life and
are happy to share their story and knowledge with others. You will find us
on the Hepburn Magazine Channel. Look for our distinctive logo.
Hepburn also launched In Conversation with Aspiring Australian Women.
It is a monthly series of interviews with women who are ready to promote
their business and discuss their aspirations and how they may reach
their goal. We premiered the In Conversation with Aspiring Women on
Hepburn’s YouTube channel.
Our Hepburn readers will also be able to find our In Conversation series
and a few other articles on our podcast.
Our bi-monthly issues will delight readers with scintillating articles falling
within the ambits of Amour Propre, Appetence, Abundance, Ambition,
Passion, Nouvelle Cuisine, and Leisure.
In this preview edition we discuss living in the new normal, leading in
challenging times, putting the spring back in your steps, how to boost
your super and tempt you in our Nouvelle Cuisine section with a mocktail,
cocktail and canapes.
Like any journey, starting Hepburn was not a solo expedition. It was
achieved only through the efforts of an amazing team. I personally want
to thank each member for their contribution and for faithfully following
me on the digital voyage of discovery. Thank you Sushmita Sharma,
Kristina Mazalova, Siobhan Vale and Thomas Hall. We’ll be popping the
champagne to celebrate.

Gone But Not Forgotten
By Jacqueline Hodges
For years, I have been an admirer of the two great Hepburns: Audrey and Katherine. I
sat and watched the movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood, in which these women
starred, and subsequently I watched the documentaries about their respective lives.
Both women presented to me as female role models with albeit differing attitudes:
each being well-educated, possessed the strength of being true to oneself. And it is
perhaps the influence of these two women that led me to call the magazine Hepburn.
But it is Audrey Hepburn who I wish to speak about today.
1| Hepburn
Most of our readers, viewers and listeners will
quickly recognise the name Audrey Hepburn and
many will recall the movies in which she starred.
Who can forget Audrey Hepburn’s performance
as the elegantly, dressed Holly Golightly stepping
out of the taxi to look at Tiffany’s store windows
or cheekily pocketing party masks from the 5 and
10 store in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, or listening to the
linguistically challenged Eliza Doolittle’s elocution
lessons from phonetics Professor Henry Higgins and
her relapse to Cockney twang as she shouts “Move
your bloomin’ arse” at the Ascot Racecourse in My
Fair Lady.
Audrey was the third-greatest female screen legend
in Golden Age of Hollywood. Not at all incidentally,
Katherine Hepburn is noted as the greatest. But
back to Audrey. For her performance in Roman
Holiday, she became the first actress to win an
Oscar, a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Award
for a single performance.
Yet it is not for her acting career or her accolades as
a style icon that I wish to pay homage, but rather it
is for her most dignified role as UNICEF’s Goodwill
Ambassador. For it is in this role that she truly
demonstrated her leadership in challenging times.
“ Nothing is impossible.
The word itself says:
I’m possible.
”
Hepburn first worked for UNICEF shortly after
World War II, reading children’s stories of war on
the radio. However, it is years later, in 1998, that she
truly immersed herself into humanitarian efforts;
when she went on her first UNICEF field visit to
Ethiopia, where years of drought and civil strife
had caused terrible famine. Hepburn is quoted as
saying at that time:
“I have a broken heart. I feel desperate. I can’t stand
the idea that two million people are in imminent
danger of starving to death, many of them children,
[and] not because there isn’t tons of food sitting
in the port.”
The following year, in 1989, Hepburn was named
a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and travelled the
world meeting some of the world’s most vulnerable
children and raising awareness for UNICEF’s
programs.
She travelled to many nations, from Turkey to
Bangladesh, through South America and Central
America, from Thailand to Vietnam and various
African nations. She promoted numerous projects
that brought support to people living in poverty,
drought and famine and to those living on the
streets or displaced by war.
She promoted UNICEF’s projects to improve living
standards for those affected, bringing polio vaccines,
women’s training programmes, clean drinking
water, schools, literacy, nutrition and housing.
But Hepburn’s personal history with UNICEF began
much earlier in 1946, when UNICEF representatives
rescued her from the terrible post-war famine in the
Netherlands.
“I can testify to what UNICEF means to children,
because I was among those who received food and
medical relief right after World War II…I have a longlasting
gratitude and trust for what UNICEF does.”
It is this history that drove Hepburn to help others.
UNICEF reports that Hepburn worked tirelessly,
giving as many as 15 interviews a day to the media
in the United States, Canada and Europe. She also
hosted awards, benefits and gave speeches to
promote UNICEF’s work.
In 1992, she became the recipient of the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. This is the United States’ highest
civilian award. She continued her work for UNICEF
until her death in early 1993.
It is in her own selflessness, and hard work that
Audrey Hepburn fulfilled her true purpose and
demonstrated her leadership in challenging times.
And I want to leave you with this final Audrey quote:
“The beauty of a woman is not in
a facial mole, but true beauty in a
woman is reflected in her soul. It is
the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she knows.”

Maintaining Your Style
In Challenging Times
By Kristina Mazalova
2020 has been a dreadful challenge for all the
fashion-loving businesswomen as the majority of
luxury boutiques started to shut down during the
COVID-19 lockdown. Even when we emerge out of
this pandemic, the fashion industry is expected to
continue facing a recession and a dramatic fall in its
revenue. During this pandemic, the sales of clothing
fell sharply. But interestingly, the sales for pajamas
and tracksuits reached the sky, as people became
homebound.
While the pandemic was certainly a nightmare for
the stores, it is a rising opportunity for women to
be more creative in redefining their style. Women
are becoming more comfortable and authentic
in embracing the fashion style of their choice.
However, some fashion experts are confident that
women will be ‘dressing up’ again as they step out
of their homes after spending months in their pj’s.
As Australia emerges out of the pandemic, women
are ready to style their wardrobe again. Here are some
styles that you must have in your wardrobe this spring.
Suits
Suits are a hot trend for 2020 Spring fashion.
Whether your style is a three-piece suit, or tailored
separates, suits are perfect for every occasion. To
enjoy a spring feel, try pastel colours and floral
patterns. For an elegant look, match your suit with
comfortable pumps. The height of the heel will
depend on your level of comfort and standing time.
That being said, pumps are very versatile as they
can be worn with any style of suit.
Heeled Loafers
If pumps are not for you, heeled loafers are the
second best alternative to wear with suits. Loved for
their comfort, heeled loafers give a sophisticated
and modern touch to your look. They are best worn
with a straight-leg pantsuit.
Puff Sleeves
Puff sleeves are back as a hot trend of 2020. Made
for all body types, they are ideal to wear in corporate
parties. Whether worn as a dress or as a blouse,
they make a modern and bold statement to your
style. For a refreshing look, try a basic colour puffsleeved
top with high-waist bold coloured pants.
“It is time that
everyone begins
exploring their
style again.”

Appetence
1. Desirous, wishful. having or expressing desire for something
7 | Hepburn
8 | Hepburn

01. Desire
Firstly, figure out what you really want. As your career grew, you will have
also grown. What you seek in a partner may now differ from what you
wanted in your 20s and 30s. Take some time to examine your desires
and set your expectations. Once you are confident in your priorities and
expectations, you are more likely to find a better suited partner.
02. Explore
Online dating is great but don’t let it ruin the old school romance. Let
online dating apps find a right match for you, but also be open to blind
dates, finding people in bars, networking events, business conferences.
Don’t be afraid of trying new things.
03. Meet
Dating Delight
after 40 and beyond
9 | Hepburn
Dating in the 40s and beyond is often treated
as a taboo in the media. The truth is, dating is
even more fun when you are wiser and aware
of what you want in a partner. Whether you
are re-entering the dating world after a recent
divorce, or whether you are finally ready to
date after successfully establishing your career,
dating couldn’t be more alluring in any other
time than now.
In the digital world that we live in, we are
surrounded by dating apps that can help us
find new people. However, going “old school”
has its own fun too. After months of being
restricted by the social distancing guidelines,
now that we are finally free to go out and
meet new people, we should not waste time
using only one way to find the right partner.
Use online dating apps whenever you can but
also don’t miss out on the happy hours in bars.
Here’s our DEMO 4 hot tips for dating in the
40s and beyond.
At this stage, you stop using digital apps. While they are quite useful in
determining whether you like a person or not, they should not be overused
for chatting. Have a quick video call with the person to understand their
vibe and decide on a good place to meet. Meeting in person as early as
possible is very important because then you can either move forward or
move on to find a better match. Be prepared for when you meet. Have a
repertoire of things to discuss. No one wants to discuss your work life. Be
personal in your conversations. Talk about your hobbies, your dreams,
and things or people that really matter to you. Get to know what matters
to the other person and what they expect from dating.
04. Optimise
Dating is even more
fun when you are wiser
and aware of what you
want in a partner.
“
”
One conversation is never enough to decide whether you really like the
person or not. But it is a good start for you to understand if you would
like to meet them again. Trust your instincts. Be honest with yourself and
with the other person in deciding how the date went. If you did not enjoy
your date, politely let them know that you are not interested. If you liked
the person, express your interest in seeing them again.
Regardless of the choice you make, remember that there are millions of
people in the world who would be lucky to be with you!
If the bar scene isn’t for you, try different places, like art galleries, libraries
and museums. If you prefer something more active try a sports club or an
adventure holiday. If you wish to radiate your charms in style, try a luxury
resort or go on a romantic cruise.

8 Strategies to Boost Your Super
By Jacqueline Hodges
Abundance
1. The state or condition of having a copious quantity
of something; plentifulness
2. Plentifulness of the good things of life; prosperity
Statistically, women fall way behind men when it
comes to their superannuation balances. Currently,
the Association of Superannuation Funds Australia,
recommends a target retirement balance for a single
person, $545,000 and for a couple, $640,000.
Women on average retire with $115,000 less in
superannuation than men, and one in three women
retire with no super at all. Is it simply women are
not as financially savvy as men?
Well, not at all. The underlying reason for our
financial retirement deficit is much more human
than that. Very simply, women are more likely to
have a broken career pattern. We are the child
bearers and nurturers, or the carers of other family
members. While, not the only reason, it is this
broken career pattern that has the major impact
on our employment earnings and superannuation
balance.
Our wages are lower, we leave our paid employment
to start, grow and care for our families. We begin a
career hiatus as we embark on the part-time juggle
or we forsake our employment for freelancing in
the gig economy as we choose to remain at home
with our children and forsake the career labyrinth.
But we can choose to improve our superannuation
balances. In this article, I’ll discuss eight strategies to
boost your super.
Earlier, this year our superannuation balances were
hit hard. Lockdown, brought lower valuations and
a drop in superannuation balances of up to 12.5%
according to Super Ratings. Yet, recovery continued
and by the September quarter, superannuation
funds posted their fifth consecutive month of
gains. It is true that superannuation is a long term
investment and Australian Super suggests we
should expect a loss year at least in every 20 years.
But superannuation is a large industry sector with
$2.9 trillion under investment.

Early Access to Super
While accessing your super early is not
going to help grow your retirement
balance, we have included it here as
a reminder that you now have until
31 December 2020 to access $10,000
under the temporary early access to
superannuation.
Government, in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, allowed
the temporary Early Access to
Superannuation this year. This measure
allowed those eligible to access up to
$20,000 of their superannuation. The
early release was limited to $10,000 up to
30 June 2020. If eligible, you may access a
further $10,000 up to 31 December 2020.
If you took advantage of the temporary
early access, you should make sure that
you did not exceed the $10,000 maximum
for each financial year and that you met
the eligibility criteria. The ATO does
intend to audit the drawdowns for illegal
early access.
The following paragraphs summaries the
8 strategies to boost your super.
Stapling of accounts
Freelance contractors, those in the gig
economy and job changers frequently
have a new superannuation fund account
created with each new employment
contract.
Holding more than one superannuation
account may negatively impact your
retirement balance. One factor impacting
limiting growth, is the fees are charged on
each and every superannuation account
you hold. Inefficiencies may also impact
your investment options. With available
funds spread across several funds, you
may miss investment opportunities.
Legislation has now passed to staple
superannuation accounts to an individual.
So, as you move between employers, your
superannuation fund will travel with you.
This prevents newly created and unintended
multiple superannuation accounts when you
change employers.
Until the procedures and software are refined,
you should have your superannuation fund
details ready, if you are commencing with a
new employer. You can find you fund details
and balance on your mygov account.
Choosing the right fund
YourSuper, an interactive comparison
tool that will rank MySuper funds will be
available from 01 July 2021. You will be able
to compare your fund’s fees and performance
with other MySuper funds.
Superannuation funds will also be required
to meet an annual objective performance
test. Funds that fail two consecutive
annual underperformance tests will not be
permitted to accept new members until their
performance improves.
Contribute for longer
Employer and member contributions are received into your
superannuation fund during the accumulation phase. Upon
retirement you generally convert that balance into pension
phase. However, and while a little more complex, you can hold
both an accumulation account and a pension account in super.
This flexibility, allows you to drawdown your pension from
one account but also to contribute to an accumulation fund for
growth. If over 66, you will need to consider the work test.
As you pass retirement age, a work test comes into play
stipulating the conditions in which a fund may accept member
contributions. The work test: you must work at least 40 hours
during a consecutive 30 day period each income year in order
for your fund to accept a personal super contribution for which
you can claim a deduction.
While a work test applies for those over 66 years of age, you can
continue to make contributions to your superannuation up to
the age of 66 without needing to meet the work test.
SMSF Memberships
Often referred to as a Family Fund or a DIY Super
Fund, Self-Managed Superannuation Funds
are funds that are managed and controlled by
individuals with the help of an accountant and
a financial adviser.
Previously, these funds were limited to four
members, which presents problems for families
with more than two children. SMSFs can now
offer membership to up to six members. By
combining more of the family funds under
the one roof, you may be able to pool funds
to invest together or invest separately. The
choice is yours. Fees may also be lower if using
only one SMSF.
14 | Hepburn

Bring Forward Rules
Non-concessional contributions are made into your
super fund from after-tax income. These contributions
are not taxed in your super fund. A non-concessional
contributions cap limits the annual amount that can
be contributed to $100,000.
Special bring forward rules apply, so that an amount of
$300,000 can be contributed across each rolling threeyear
period. Worth considering if you have a larger
investment such as real property in mind.
Spouse contributions age limit increase
The age limit for making spouse contributions has
increased from 69 to 74. This means that people aged
under 74 can receive contributions made by another
person on their behalf.
Seek financial Advice
You should always seek professional financial advice
before changing or starting a superannuation fund. A
financial adviser will also be able to help you with the
fund’s investment strategy and boost your super.
Finally, ASIC has a useful tool to show how your
superannuation balance will grow simply by
increasing your contributions. We’ve included the
link for you: https://moneysmart.gov.au/how-superworks/superannuation-calculator

Leadership in challenging times
Leadership Styles
There are so many leadership styles, it is hard to keep up with the theory flavour of the day. If
you research leadership styles typically there will be theoretical discussion on some common
styles, including strategic, transformational, autocratic, democratic, coaching, laissez-faire,
charismatic, narcissistic, and visionary.
Charles Plant devised this simple grid.
Use this grid to know when and how
to adapt your leadership style.
Yet one must not mistake a style as a unique mould that leaders can be taught and model to fit
all situations. Like a tool chest equipped with various tools of trade or a vanity case equipped
with various cosmetics and toiletries, your leadership style should comprise of various skills and
tools to prepare you to react or adapt to a given situation.
Are you using an effective leadership style that works best for you and your team?

This month Hepburn premiered our first live
interview with an amazing Australian woman:
Lauren Sherson. During the interview, Lauren
chatted about her current projects and future
endeavours.
Lauren was also a candidate for the City of
Melbourne Council, in the recent election. During
her campaign, she raised several issues, to help
regenerate local business activity, from mental
health, entrepreneurship and social connectedness.
“Without healthy
minds we cannot
expect to have healthy
businesses.”
Throughout COVID and the Melbourne lockdown,
Lauren maintained her unique spirit of optimism
and enthusiasm. Drawing on her entrepreneurial
spirit, and her impulse for innovative ideas, creating
value and social connectedness, she built four
business ventures.
“We can't board a plane
but we can board the
innovation train, and
we can share ideas, we
can share support, and
we can go through
things together, and
be connected.”
She’s opinionated, she’s passionate, she’s ambitious,
she’s a dreamer, she’s a survivor.

Mickayla Hosking. During the interview, Mickayla
chatted about her business aspirations and beliefs.
Mickayla has recently completed a Bachelor of
Naturopathy and is currently awaiting the testamur.
She believes in a balanced lifestyle and is determined
to create a business that offers personalised, holistic
advice.
“As I envision my future,
success would be me
being in a good place,
having a good balance.”
For her, success can be easily achieved if one is
dedicated to their goal, determined to achieve and
disciplined in the process. She is optimistic and
possesses that youthful exuberance from having
completed one of life’s goals and embarking on the
next.
“You will face challenges
but you really need to
build your determination
and be disciplined to
help you get where you
want to go. I see them as
muscles, the more you
work them, the better
they function.”
She practices what she preaches, and applies what
she learns to improve her lifestyle.

You Deserve a Break
Unwinding your mind and taking a break
to relax is something that a lot of us have
forgotten to do in 2020. Whether it is from
work, your social life, technology, or your
nearest and dearest, indulging in a relaxing
break is very important to reconnect with
yourself with a rejuvenated energy.
Work
Taking a break from work can be a challenge
especially when the end of the year deadlines are fast
approaching. However, it is important that you are
still taking a break. While dedication is an essential
element in achieving your dreams and making those
deadlines, taking a break is as important. Even your
30-minutes lunch break is important, as it prepares
you for the second half of the day. It can improve
your work performance and bring you back some
additional motivation. Taking a break at work is as
important as taking a break after work. Your social
and personal life can also be stressful, even if you
don’t feel so. Make some time to pick up a hobby
to enjoy after work.
Pick activities that relax your mind. These activities
may include: joining a gym, cooking a delicious
dinner, going to a spa, taking a pottery class or going
for an adventure. By taking a break from the stresses
of life, you allow yourself to be more mindful and
take a fresh approach towards life.
Technology
Taking a break from technology and social media,
while challenging, is something that everyone
should practice occasionally. It provides you with
an opportunity to detox and unwind. Some of us
work in industries that require a high amount of
digital intake. Set yourself a digital detox day. It
provides you with the opportunity to distance
yourself from any negativity associated with social
media platforms. It also relaxes your eye muscles as
you step away from the screen. Set a day in a week,
where you reduce your screen exposure and spend
more time doing relaxing activities like lazing in a
hammock, walking along the beach, baking some
delicious brownies or taking a relaxing bath.

Social Life
Although, spending your whole weekend out and
about is fun for some, many people find that the
eustress makes them run down. Taking a break
from socializing can have beneficial impacts both
physically and mentally. It gives you time to focus
on yourself and get organized for the week ahead.
Sometimes, all you need is your own company.
Parenting
Obviously, taking a break from parenting is never
that simple but it is very important and much
needed. Taking a break whether it is for 5 minutes
to enjoy your morning coffee or an afternoon walk
around the block. Taking the time to yourself will
give you time to reflect, recuperate and recharge
for your parenting duties.
Life is as simple as we make it. So, take a break to
unwind, relax, and rejuvenate. You deserve it.

Passion
How is Anger Good for you?
By Sushmita Sharma
1. Any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate
2. A strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything
Anger is not one of the most pleasant emotions of a human being, but one that
may overpower many other emotions. Life, in the 21st century and especially
in the challenging times of 2020, is not as easy and simple as it used to be. It
is indeed full of exasperations and not all of us are stoics. Sometimes, anger
makes us impatient, frustrated, and angry at trivial things and sometimes it
teaches us how to accept those emotions to be successful. How many times
have you felt angry without regretting it later? The truth is you don’t have to
regret feeling the way you do.

Being angry is just as normal and basic as being
happy or sad, as long as your anger does not turn
to aggression or impact your relationship with
others. Knowing the reasons for your anger and
how to manage it is very crucial for your mental
health. Knowing how to express it without hurting
somebody’s feelings is even more important,
especially in the current times. There is a difference
between being angry to break something and being
angry to fix something. When you are angry to
rectify something or to make it better, you have a
source of motivation that you should not let go.
care about. Once you realise what you really care
about, you find ways to effectively communicate it
with compassion. Anger is a form of communication
that fuels self-awareness and acceptance. The next
time you find yourself being triggered by something,
try to take a deep breath and understand why you
are feeling what you are feeling. Let anger ignite
your curiosity.
Anger for better communication
Suppressing your anger does not mean you are
managing your anger. This also does not imply that
It’s time to stimulate your body…
When you find what you are
fighting for, you emerge as a
leader. Like Aristotle said:
“Anybody can become angry –
that is easy, but to be angry with
the right person and to the right
degree and at the right time and for
the right purpose, and in the right
way – that is not within everybody’s
power and is not easy.”

Anger as a source of motivation
Gender equality, celebration of LGBTQ+
community, environmental policies, race equality
and all the improvements in the society that we have
seen in this century would not have been possible
if a cadre of activists did not get angry and fight for
their rights. Sometimes, right things come from a
surge of angered feelings. It is in that moment when
one finds determination to reach a goal.
Anger fuels acceptance
Every time you get angry and every time you express
your feelings, you come closer to yourself. Anger is
an emotion that helps you realise what you really
you are entitled to hurt others verbally or physically.
Anger can inspire you to communicate your needs
and your true feelings with others. When you focus
your attention on what you are feeling and not how
others made you feel, you show compassion. At
the same time, using too many “I” statements can
make you look self-centred. Find the right balance.
Instead of blaming the other person with “How
could you do this?” make them understand why
you are angry by saying “I felt upset when you did
that.” Communicating with compassion will bring
you solutions that will relax your mind.
Anger can be uncomfortable for you and those
around you. It can also be rewarding when you use
it to improve yourself. At the end of the day, it’s all
about making the right choices!

Getting lost to find yourself again
Coming into the warmer months, it is a great time to start preparing for the
island getaway that you have been dreaming about. The warm sunsets, the island
cocktails, and the crisp white sand in between our toes are moments that we are
all to experience again. Getting through this year, we all deserve to be relaxing
on the beach and taking in the salt air. We need a moment to stop, breathe, and
enjoy an island getaway to unwind the mind and release the stress. Here are our
picks for the best Island destinations.
Hamilton Island
Hamilton Island is the perfect combination between
adventure seeker and relaxing island destination.
Hamilton Island has beautiful hikes that overlook
the incredible Whitsunday Islands including the
famous Whitehaven beach. If thrill seeking is what
you are searching for, Hamilton has an array of
activities including snorkelling, scuba diving, stand
up paddle boarding, and jet-skiing. However, if you
are looking to relax and indulge in simple pleasures
of life, then the island has a wide variety of delicious
food and cocktail lounges for you to kick-back,
relax, and watch the stunning island sunsets.
Tangalooma Island
Tangalooma Island is a thrill seekers’ paradise. You
can start the day off by snorkelling the famous
Morten Bay shipwrecks and finish it by tobogganing
down 8-meter sand dunes. Not only is this island a
thrill seekers’ playground, but it is also a beautiful
getaway where you can simply indulge in some
delicious food while watching the changing hues
of sunset.
“We need a moment to

wanting to leave. The island is known for its array

camping and outdoor enthusiasts.

site, the island’s vast range of flora and
fauna makes it a beautiful place to
spend the weekend camping.
Booking a trip to an island destination
is what we all need after the year
that 2020 has been. Traveling can
rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul
and increase your productivity. You
deserve a break and going away to a
place that brings you closer to yourself
is the best way to begin.

My lead sentence was to begin “Last century there
were few countries that could boast to having
had a female leader” but as I began my research,
I realised how incorrect this statement was to be.
By the end of last century, at least 35 countries
had experienced a female Head of State. In 1960,
Sri Lanka became the world’s first country whose
citizens democratically elected a female leader.
Today, just 70 countries have had female leaders.
This figure includes those elected, appointed, or
otherwise in power. Very few nations have elected
a female leader more than once.
These are women who demonstrated leadership
with compassion and empathy. Angela Merkel
(Chancellor of Germany, 13 years) is one such
leader. I recall the awe I felt for Angela Merkel when
she opened Germany’s borders to provide asylum
to Syrian refugees, in 2015. That year, Germany
accepted applications from over 1 million refugees.
More recently and closer to home, we witnessed
the compassionate, empathetic and authentic
leadership style of Jacinda Ardern. Jacinda
demonstrated her vulnerability and expressed her
sorrow openly following the Christchurch attack
on the Muslim community. Across social and other
media, we witnessed the sorrow on her face, as she
mourned with her people and instinctively hugged
the families who had lost loved ones in the attack.
She gives witness to those who were lost rather than
raise the notoriety of the terrorist.
“Speak the names of those who were lost rather
than the man who took them. He may seek notoriety
but we will give him nothing, not even his name.”
Whether it is naïve or simply an honest approach,
it is this effective communication and authentic
leadership style that connects her to her people.
During the COVID-19 crisis, she took a 20% pay
cut, connecting and building consensus with those
who had lost their jobs or had their wages reduced.

Inspiring International
Woman:
Jacinda Ardern
By Joyclyn O’Neill
“To me, leadership is not about necessarily being
the loudest in the room, but instead being the
bridge, or the thing that is missing in the discussion
and trying to build a consensus from there.”
We have all seen the compassion and connectedness
Jacinda communicated during the crisis to the
people of New Zealand. Her people! And her
people confirmed their love for Jacinda returning
her in a majority swing in the recent elections.
She is not New Zealand’s first female leader; in fact,
she is the third. But she is New Zealand’s youngest
leader since 1856, and at the age of 37 became the
world’s youngest female head of government. She
was nominated on pledges that covered minimum
wage increases, housing affordability, and address
child poverty by setting in law reduction targets.
She has implemented measures to address each of
these issues.
“Capitalism has failed our people. If you have
hundreds of thousands of children living in homes
without enough to survive, that’s a blatant failure.
What else could you describe it as?”
In a post-COVID world, leaders may struggle
with balancing strategic values with authenticity.
However, if lessons are learnt, the World Economics
Forum suggests the necessary traits post-COVID
will be led with empathy and honesty, maintain
agility, and value for your people.
These traits appear to be the natural reflection
of Jacinda’s leadership style. Time will tell how
she handles the political arena in a post-crisis
environment. But looking at New Zealand’s physical
and economic landscape, it is a country of volcanos
and earthquakes, a country climbing out of a
recession, a country recovering from the pandemic.
She shows a different kind of leadership, one that
puts kindness foremost. This authentic, connected,
kind style is just the leader New Zealand may
need now.
“
Everything I’ve ever thought
about doing has been, in some
sense, about helping people.
”
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern at the World Economic Forum World Economic Forum / Boris Baldinger
