Bio
Emma Lovell
Jane was an incredible leader in the World Vision Australia office in Sydney and truly brought the team together. From the moment I walked into the office, she made me feel so welcome and you could see that she really was a key component of the culture and personality of the office. If I was ever in need of guidance on a policy matter or needed direction in regard to who to speak to, Jane knew the answer. Jane led the team through a very difficult phase and was always professional, compassionate and approachable. I would highly recommend Jane for a leadership role and would happily work with her again. She is an asset to any team.

Business Manager - Social Leadership Australia (12 month contract)
-
Sep 2016 - Sep 2017
Social Leadership Australia - we lead change and we change leaders. The social part comes in because we believe the purpose of good leadership is to make the world a better place. Leadership is not management. It is the purposeful use of collective wisdom, awareness, creativity and human skill to face difficult problems, drive change and unlock unseen potential. Leadership is not a position but something we do - together. To succeed, we must see ourselves as part of our communities and workplaces, not above them. Combining world's best practice leadership thinking and techniques with insights drawing from 200 years of experience at Australia's longest running charity (TBS) we deliver practical, real-world change in the most challenging environments.
