Damien Mu - CEO AIA and Margo Lydon - CEO SuperFriend

“I've rediscovered nature. Now I actually can go for a walk, breathe, meditate, reflect; rather than try to see how quickly I can run five Ks so I can get back into the office.” For the final episode of the current season of Leading Through Change, we’ve got two leaders for the price of one. Margo Lydon, CEO of SuperFriend sits down with Damien Mu, CEO and Managing Director of AIA Australia and New Zealand. Margo and Damien, along with their respective organisations, share a strong working partnership, and so their relaxed conversation reveals many personal insights. Margo and Damien touch on growth mindsets during the recent pandemic and the importance of leaders connecting with the head and the heart of their organisations. They also cover topics on collegiate support, organisational purpose, maintaining manageable boundaries between work and life, and the necessity of self-care. —————————— More information… AIA… http://www.aia.com.au SuperFriend… https://superfriend.com.au Victorian Workplace Mental Wellbeing Collaboration… https://leadingwellvic.com.au/ WorkSafe’s WorkWell program… https://www.workwell.vic.gov.au/how-can-we-create-mentally-healthy-workplace —————————— About our guests… Damien Mu CEO and Managing Director, AIA Australia and New Zealand Damien’s career at AIA Australia began in 2007, and he was appointed to the role of CEO in 2014.
