This revelation led her to create Australia's first organisation focused exclusively on disability leadership – addressing a critical gap that had been overlooked worldwide. What began as a modest enterprise has blossomed into the country's largest professional network for disabled leaders.For entrepreneurs, Christina offers refreshingly practical advice from her journey building a successful social enterprise with minimal resources.
