What our participants say

Our Vision

“Our aspiration is not just to create great First Nations leaders, but to create great leaders, full stop! Purposeful leaders, equipped with the agility and confidence to respond adaptively and with dignity to the unprecedented complexity and pace of change currently experienced by our communities and organisations.”

David Major, Jason Ardler & Glenn Ball — First Peoples Leading Co-Founders

First Peoples Leading is a partnership of
Executive Central and Thirriwirri

Thirriwirri is a 100% Aboriginal owned and operated organisation formed for the purpose of supporting First People communities and others to build the confidence, capabilities and connections to work together differently to achieve improved outcomes. The Directors of Thirriwirri have a combined 40 years senior executive experience, leading multi-disciplinary teams, strategy and reform across a range of complex policy areas.

Executive Central is at the forefront of leadership development, executive coaching and business consulting in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. We partner with leaders in the corporate, public and not-for-profit sectors to work through their biggest challenges and realise their greatest opportunities. Executive Central was formed in 2004 to deliver pragmatic leadership, coaching and consulting solutions designed and delivered by experienced consultants from C-suite backgrounds.

Acknowledgement of Country

We pay our respects to Elders and community leaders, and those leaders that came before us, who for millennia have maintained the world’s oldest surviving cultures and who have made it possible for us to do what we do. We acknowledge the strength and innovation of our young people, the leaders and Elders of the future.

We acknowledge our families, who have always supported us to dream big and who continue to support us as Thirriwirri evolves.

We also pay respect to the non-First Nation people we work with who share our vision for an empowered, prosperous and culturally assured First Nations Australia.
