More Than a Lumpy Jumper

By: Bridge Forster and Bobby Davis
  • Summary

  • An affectionate, pre-politically correct term to describe a female soldier. Derived from the wondrous vision of voluptuous thrusting funbags, tightly encased in an issue woolly pully, bouncing across the parade square. WTAF!! Meet Bobby and Bridge who have something to say about this perception of women in the Military and much, much more. These two irreverent, life energised women have known each other for over 30 years and have LOTS to say about their experiences of life, leadership and being led. Come and join their conversations on "Being". Laugh, learn and realise you aren't alone.

  • Being an Advocate for Yes....and
    Jul 16 2024

    In the Season 3 finale, Bobby and Bridge explore the transformative power of the phrase "Yes...and." Despite initial doubts about the topic's depth, they dive in with curiosity, a bit of discomfort in trying to practice “Yes…and” in the moment with a bit of spurious chat about an imaginary hat and a committment to take an improv class together.

    Yes…AND in the process they begin to uncover the surprising depth that a simple shift in language can bring for creativity, collaboration, and growth for us, in work, and even for life in general. Join us for this slightly random but enlightening episode to wrap up the season!
