ALICE AS A LEADER

Success for me is about creating impact. About opening people’s minds and hearts to sustainability, creating aha moments – and influencing the actions and behaviour of both individuals and entire organizations.

Leadership is not easy.

Great Leaders don't shy away from tackling complexities.

The future of leadership is with those who look at the bigger picture and work across sectors and silos to address the real issues, such as climate change, violent conflict, and poverty.

When I think of a leader, I think of a beautiful woman.

ALICE ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE

I try to spend as much time as possible in nature, exercise, do yoga, and eat healthily. Most importantly, I minimize my time on social media and screens. This includes walking without headphones and sometimes just sitting and looking at a tree, letting my mind wander.

ALICE ON OVERCOMING MISTAKES

I always come with an open mind and do my research – but when I do make mistakes I have no problem admitting I’m wrong and apologising as necessary. And then I simply move on. Great things don’t happen inside comfort zones!
