Find Your Ikigai: Episode 10

Join Nadelle Brooks as she explores her mission to help bring clean water and sanitation to remote Aboriginal communities in Western Australia, and across the nation. Nadelle takes us through her work in consulting engineering and why she realised she needed to leave. She then explains the issues facing the water industry when it comes to servicing remote communities and her decision to move to the Department of Water and eventually the Water Corporation. She touches on institutionalised racism when it comes to providing safe water and sanitation and her efforts to make change in this sector. And how after a nearly 20 year slog, these changes are finally starting to be implemented. This special episode of Water You on About explains how important it is to ensure every single community has access to clean water and sanitation. It also inspires you to find ikigai (loosely translates to "the reason to get out of bed in the morning") in both your professional and personal life, and challenges you to do amazing things.
