This edition of Bridging is about what it might mean and look like if we really want to go far together. 

This edition of Bridging invites readers to explore leadership through the lens of the “Hope Gap”

It’s one thing to check the boxes on a diversity matrix, and quite another thing to actively champion inclusion. 

PCT Principle #5 – Forge New Paths


We are entering ‘uncharted territory’ for our planet, with urgent and creative solutions needed to solve our interconnected biodiversity, climate, and water crises. Our world needs leaders who can be bold to imagine new ways forward, draw on courage, and persevere through challenges.


Peter Cullen recognised the urgency of action needed, and had courage to step up, create, and advocate for new solutions to address our water and environment challenges.

A year of leading together:
This edition of Bridging is a wide-angle reflection on a year shaped by the principle Lead Together—a reminder that Australia’s water and environmental challenges demand not only technical excellence but courageous, relational, and collaborative leadership.

In this edition of Bridging we reflect on the courage it takes to lead through fierce and authentic conversations.
