It led to a major shake-up of Defence Force culture.Now in demand around the world to speak on leadership, he’s even shared a stage with Hollywood’s Angelina Jolie, where he called on all militaries to increase the participation of women in their ranks.Named Australian of the Year by the Prime Minister in 2016, David used his platform to speak tirelessly about gender equality and violence against women. In this robust BroadTalk episode David discusses the gendered nature of leadership, male empathy, the value of diversity, and the absence of women’s stories from the national narrative.BroadTalk is hosted by Virginia Haussegger and produced by Martyn Pearce.
