Lil Gordon (she/her), Ngemba/Ngiyampaa Woman, Seasoned Executive Leader, Consultant & Facilitator
My passion is working alongside our communities in empowering Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people to create their own destiny, to provide those opportunities to give us the best chance to be the very best we can with whatever we choose to do. Aboriginal education and training has been my main field along with effective and balanced leadership in building capability with Aboriginal people as well as building understanding and capacity with non-Aboriginal people to recognise their potential in the ‘bigger picture’.

I think this is a really important learning opportunity for non-indigenous Australians who want to extend their capacity to take meaningful and genuine actions to build respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Lil Gordon is a knowledgeable and inspirational guide. The breakout discussions with fellow attendees helped to unpack the concepts and information provided.”
