We are a team of researchers from the Sunshine Coast and Griffith universities (Qld, Australia) who has teamed with Care Balonne, in St George Qld, to support women in the Balonne Shire further develop leadership skills, entrepreneurialism, strategic communication, and vision. In this series, we chat with an eclectic range of women to help women in the Balonne Shire fully realise their leadership capacity. We engage in ‘conversations’ with women leaders from around Australia to learn and share the strategies they use to undertake leadership that supports their local and wider communities.

Bags to Riches: Gidgee Smith’s Almost Accidental Road To Success and Self-Discovery

Gidgee Smith started making bags as a way of supporting her family during the millennial drought. Almost twenty years later, Gidgee Smith Bags are going strong, employing local women to sew and market the bags, and the business has opened up other networking and entrepreneurial ventures for Gidgee and her family. Now, Gidgee’s property near Morwen in South-West Queensland hosts a camping ground and coffee shop, and Gidgee works tirelessly throughout Western Queensland as an advocate for mental health. In this podcast, Gidgee discusses how these ventures have happened, and shares some life lessons that she has picked up along the way.
