#255 I Just Decided to Do It, with Sandra Wallace

Sandra Wallace grew up near Wauchope on Birpai Country running barefoot around the paddocks, with a drop toilet and creek water hauled up in the family Kombi. Today she runs a 60-person business and lives in one of the harbourside suburbs she once looked up at from a Sydney ferry. Together we discuss the decade she spent wandering before archaeology found her, why she shapes a business the way you’d shape a sculpture, the mental load women leaders carry and what it quietly gives us, and her bold decision to give every person on her team an hour a week to be an activist for a cause they choose. Sandra is the founder and managing director of Artefact Heritage and holds a PhD in Aboriginal archaeology. Honest, unconventional and full of heart. A conversation that shows a business can be so much more than a place of work.     LISTEN & CONNECT: Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ing45TZZF-U  Connect with Melissa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/brave-feminine-leadership   WORK WITH US: The Executive Shift: An 8-week intensive for senior women ready to be recognised for judgement, not just delivery. https://bravefeminineleadership.com/the-executive-shift  INFLUENCE Mastermind: A 6-month peer advisory room for women at the top.  https://calendly.com/the-brave-group/influence-enquiry-call 1:1 Executive Coaching: Work directly with Melissa. https://calendly.com/the-brave-group/executive-coaching Sign up for Leadership Inspiration in our Sunday Newsletter: http://bravefeminineleadership.com/sundayinspiration
