Today, we are joined by Shane Fitzsimmons, a prominent figure in emergency services and community resilience and currently the Managing Director of SAF Leading Advisory.

Shane is not only the former Commissioner of the NSW Rural Fire Service, but his leadership during the devastating 2019-20 bushfire season also made him a notable face across the country.

In this episode, we talk about Shane's journey from a young volunteer firefighter to a national leader, his perspectives on authentic leadership, and how his personal values have shaped his career and decision-making.

We also explore his transition from public service to his current advisory roles and his ongoing commitment to making a positive impact on society.
