Maria Govers: Sharing Power to Lift Others

Send us Fan Mail

Maria Govers’ story begins with a powerful childhood experience - starting school without speaking English. 

That early sense of exclusion shaped a lifelong commitment to creating opportunities for others. 

In this episode, Maria reflects on how power can grow when it is shared. From early supervisory roles to her work as a non-executive board director with not-for-profit Opendoor, Maria explores how empowering others can transform individuals, organisations and communities. This conversation introduces an important reframing: power not just over others, but with and for them.
