Leadership Institute for Positive Futures Indigenous Corporation supports leaders to work for social and sustainable change in their communities, corporations and society in general.

Kerrie Tim, a public servant of 20 years, co-founded the Leadership Institute for Positive Futures Indigenous Corporation in May 2020.

‘The public service was very focused on management and that was fine, but I really wanted to focus on leaders and leadership,’ Kerrie said.

‘I wanted to build a corporation that backed people on their leadership journey, whether they are leading a family or a space program. I wanted to inspire leadership for social change.’

The organisation aims to inspire leadership for positive societies, improved professional performance, and strengthened identity. And they’ve been working to those ends for nearly 2 years.

Learn more about the Leadership Institute and their aims in this month’s Spotlight On from the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations.
