    Christine Miller believe boards need diversity of skills and life experience to help them thrive
    Jul 30 2024

    Today on the Take on Board podcast I’m speaking with Christine Miller about diversity in the boardroom.


    Christine is on the boards of Advisory boards on: BioNJ, Antimicrobials Working Group, HBA. She has previously been on the boards of Iveric Bio.

    Christine Miller is currently the President and CEO of Melinta Therapeutics, where she is accelerating transformation, and redefining the portfolio from pure play antibiotics to become a leader in the acute care space. Christine loves working in the healthcare space. She says: "The potential to drive innovation and transformation for companies, teams, stakeholders and patients – is the compass that guides my purpose. But a leader’s job is more than driving innovation – it’s about making sure there is honesty and meaning behind your purpose to ensure you’re always doing the right thing at the right time, no matter how hard things get."

  • The Royal Commission we should have? The 2013 Essendon Football Club supplements scandal (Rebroadcast from The Westminster Tradition)

    The Royal Commission we should have? The 2013 Essendon Football Club supplements scandal (Rebroadcast from The Westminster Tradition)
    Jun 25 2024
    This week on the Take on Board podcast, I am sharing an episode from The Westminster Tradition, a podcast I love and listen to regularly. I was listening to one of their episodes from April 2024 and thought, 'I have to share all this governance goodness with the Take on Board Community'. So I reached out to the hosts of The Westminster Tradition and they gave me the go-ahead. So this week, that's what we're doing._____“Lack of good governance is why good people did bad things at Essendon Football Club”. So says Lindsay Tanner, former Minister for Finance, and President of the Essendon Football Club from 2015.In this mini-series, Caroline tries to convince us there are lessons for public servants from the Essendon Football Club supplement scandal in 2013.In this episode, we talk about what happened in Essendon itself. The dangers of charismatic new leaders, new brooms through an organisation, and a failure to take controls and risk management seriously.Referenced in this episode:• Lindsay Tanner ‘Governance lessons from the Essendon scandal’•The Long Haul podcast, Episode Two: Inside the Blackest Day•Ziggy Switkowski report into failures of governance at Essendon Football Club•Dr Bruce Reid letter to Essendon Football Club about his concerns about the supplement regimeIntro grab is Lindsay Tanner, Governance lessons from the Essendon scandal.Outro grab is Nathan Lovett-Murray and Emma Murray, The Long Haul podcast, Episode Two: Inside the Blackest Day.Upcoming TOB EventsAll eventsYou might want to:Join the Take on Board Facebook communityJoin the Take on Board LinkedIn communityFollow along on TwitterWork with meJoin the Take on Board: Kickstarter group programJoin the Take on Board: Accelerator group programFind out more about meContact me Hosted on Acast.

  • Helga goes Solo: Making Space for S.P.A.C.E

    Helga goes Solo: Making Space for S.P.A.C.E
    Jun 18 2024

    This week on the Take on Board podcast, I am making space for S.P.A.C.E...


    Many of you will know from my first Ideas to Action this year that my word for 2024 is ‘space’. For me, it was about ‘leaving space in the cup’. Space to grow and learn. Space to be.

    Like water in a stream moving around rocks and trees, space in the cup will mean I’m feeling in flow, at ease.

    The practical things I put in place to help me leave space were to use Pomodoro method for productivity and to engage a coach for accountability.


    And because I love an acronym... I am taking my 2023 R.S.V.P and making some S.P.A.C.E.
