GLENDA HUGHES: From the Sports Field to the Boardroom
These days you’re more likely to find Glenda in a boardroom than walking the beat; throwing a shot put or behind a radio microphone or in a TV studio.
Glenda’s journey from the sports field as a National Championship shot-put record holder, a Commonwealth Games Representative and holder of four New Zealand power lifting records to the boardroom makes interesting reading. Glenda has presence and has worked with (and continues to do so,) influential leaders in the public and private sector and sports and is well respected because of her strong, fearless and independent thinking ability.
There is a story to be told, but more importantly it’s the underlying messages that Glenda will share on the importance of:
* Setting goals
* Managing change
* Being a good leader
* An EA
