Fearless & Grounded: Leading Well. Together.

A conversation with Libbi Gorr and Denise Bowden

One brings satire, sharp wit and a career that has danced across comedy, television, radio and journalism. The other brings deep cultural authority, decades of advocacy, and a pivotal role in shaping Australia’s future through education and the AFL Commission.

Libbi Gorr and Denise Bowden are two leaders who couldn’t be more different — yet share a courage to step into the spotlight, challenge conventions, and lead authentically.

In conversation with APPA President Angela Falkenberg, Libbi and Denise will unpack what it means to lead well in today’s world: balancing humour and humility, history and innovation, individuality and collaboration.

Expect honesty, laughter, cultural insight and sharp truths — a session that embodies Leading Well. Together. and dares you to think differently about leadership, resilience, and the power of voice.
