19. Amanda Yeates, SunCentral + Anita L’Enfant, eSafety Commissioner | How can leaders stay safe online?

Season #2 Episode #19

Roger Christie is joined by the eSafety Commissioner's Anita L'Enfant and SunCentral CEO, Amanda Yeates to explore an incredibly important question: How can leaders stay safe online and what you - or your leaders - can do to protect yourself and those around you. I’m extremely grateful they’re willing to speak and respect them greatly for their courage and honesty. 


Amanda Yeates, CEO at SunCentral is responsible for the development of Australia’s largest greenfield CBD development, the $3 billion, 53 hectare Maroochydore City Centre. Amanda was previously the Deputy Director General, at the Department of Transport and Main Roads in QLD where she oversaw the state’s $27 billion transport infrastructure program.


Anita L’Enfant is the program lead for Women In The Spotlight at the Office of the eSafety Commissioner, which provides training and resources that elevate and protect the voices of all women whose work or leadership requires an online presence. Anita has decades of experience in education and technology having worked closely with the likes of Apple, Microsoft and Google, and knows better than most how ugly the online world can be.


A note of warning: will be talking about experiences of online abuse in this episode and in the show notes below, so there may be content in this episode that could be confronting or upsetting. Please feel free to take breaks, skip through sections or reach out for support as needed. If you are in Australia, you can report serious online abuse to eSafety.gov.au who can help get content taken down quickly and connect you with counselling and support services such as Beyond Blue, Lifeline and 1800RESPECT. As you will hear, online abuse can have real impacts, especially on our mental health and wellbeing, and it is important for us to recognise this and to not be afraid to reach out for the help we may need.
