Our next Trailblazer’s interest in history and learning from it, particularly the history of labour movements and work, has been a common theme that has led her throughout her fascinating career. Marie Boland, Chief Executive Officer at Safe Work Australia, discusses this further in our latest episode on Taking the Path Less Travelled. Listen to Marie's story of growing up in Ireland and how her dad used to take them around to see the statues and tell the stories of famous people, including great union leaders, helped to fuel her interest in history. Marie talks about moving to Australia and how working in museums ultimately led her to study law and work in industrial relations. It's an episode that cements how your interests and passions can lead you to be on the path you're meant to be on, no matter which twists and turns it includes.
