Our values
We believe that the better you know yourself, the better the person – and leader – you become.
Know what makes you, you
When you know your strengths – what others see in you and what you see in yourself – and when you know your values and the roles you want to play at work and in life, it brings great clarity.
Dare to be better
We can all be better, but understanding how to welcome and sustain a growth mindset is the key to being a better person and purposeful leader.
Change the world
When you feel empowered to lead authentically, with a strong sense of purpose, it creates momentum for positive change.
Supporting positive change
Mim’s superpower lies in bringing people, ideas and resources together to fight causes and address issues that matter.
Working with philanthropists, individuals, organisations and families, she has been able to shine a light on some human rights and social justice issues.
Mim is renowned for her ability to create new ways to motivate and mobilise people. She encourages and inspires them to think about, and act on, issues they might not have otherwise considered within their power to change.
Over the years, Mim’s work as an advocate, innovator and philanthropist has brought awareness and positive change to critical issues including:
Asylum seekers in Australia
The impact of pornography on young people
Contemporary ‘rites of passage’ programs for adolescent teenagers
Gender equity and fairness
Support for LGBTQI+ communities
