#28 Dee Roche on Leadership, Mentoring, Reflection & Lifelong Learning

On this edition, we are joined by Dee Roche. Dee is a UWA Business School MBA Teaching Fellow and a Senior Management Consultant within private, public and community-based organisations. Dee’s experience spans decades in the areas of Organisational Change and Transformation; Strategic Leadership and Management Development; Governance; and Building High Performance Teams, focusing on Values. She has won multiple awards for teaching excellence and plenty of recognition in the leadership field. Most recently, she has also been receiving lifetime achievement accolades and the UWA Graduate Management Association 2024 Legend Award. Dee and I crossed paths as she was our teacher for the WA Office of Multicultural Interests Leadership & Governance program. Her work with the Australian Institute of Management enabled our cohort to work closely with Dee to learn more about ethics in the boardroom and help us on our development. It’s a great program, so thank you to those organisations for their commitment to supporting culturally and racially marginalised people to have greater representation in leadership roles. From the moment I met Dee, I was drawn to her energy and zest, as well as her immense knowledge and experience. I knew she would be so interesting to hear from. Thankfully she graciously gave her time and this makes for a great conversation with so much wisdom which I hope helps you where you are in life!

#27 Samantha Lewis on the Art of Football Writing & Epic World Cup Journeys

On this edition, we are joined by Samantha Lewis (She/They). Samantha is a Digital Sports Journalist at the ABC who specialises in Australian women's football and women's football more broadly, covering all aspects of the sport from grassroots to the international level, including Olympic Games and World Cups, with a particular love of history, profiles, and long-form feature writing. Samantha’s work has been published by The Guardian, ESPN, Optus Sport, and SBS - The World Game (among others), and has been recognised by organisations such as The International Sports Press Association (AIPS). Gadigal land is where Samantha lives and works. Samantha is one of my favourite football writers on the planet, covering topics that cut to the core of Australian and world football, doing so in such a creative and emotive way, that certainly captures the feeling of a moment. I invited Samantha to the show before the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, but because of our schedules, we couldn’t make it happen. This was actually a blessing in disguise because we were able to both use this conversation to decompress from the world cup. For both of us and it was healing and cathartic to revisit the emotions. Samantha produced some incredible, award winning work during the tournament so it is really wonderful to go back there again and have the hindsight of some time to reflect. I hope it helps you recount some great world cup memories and gives you a further appreciation for the work behind the scenes in crafting the words that you read in an article from great journalists. Thank you immensely to Samantha for being so candid and open in this conversation. This show couldn’t be where it is without your support so please give me a review or subscribe to help support Freo de Janeiro’s storytelling. Enjoy this conversation with Samantha Lewis, one of the great football writers and advocates of the game.
