This podcast series leverages the beauty, richness and uniqueness of cultural diversity, and highlights the triumph and strength of participants who represent cultural diversity. We seek to highlight the triumphs and shared humanity across cultural groups through our podcast series, to break the stereotype of the quintessential Australian, and strengthen and improve attitudes towards cultural diversity.

Meet Amanda Rose. Amanda joins Western Sydney MRC on our new venture of the discovery of Western Sydney and its rich diversity through storytelling and the amazing world of podcasts.

Amanda is Strategic connector, confidence builder, founder Business Woman Media, founding director Western Sydney Women and keynote speaker (on conflict, confidence and connecting). Busy Much… yep absolutely.

Amanda shares her experiences in life, how she builds her confidence and how she strives to now help the women of Western Sydney stand up and take the reins.

She supports any woman in creating their future and businesses, how they can build a following, inspire others in doing so and then pass on the experience & connections enabling other women from Western Sydney to do the same. She highlights that sexism and general inequality still plays a massive part in our society.

We walked away from this interview feeling motivated, inspired, empowered and ready to just get out and do something… let’s hope you feel the same way.

SameSame Different. This is Western Sydney Podcast.

We raise awareness and promote conversation; we supply the tools, support and information on a range of issues that impact women in order to facilitate positive change and economic independence.

I help create your personal or business brand, solve internal and multi-level conflict, build confidence individually and as a team, show you how to strategically connect, train leaders in resilience and transform workplace culture.
