Dr Adele Webb on lobbying government, running and NGO, and figuring out the best version of yourself

Ever wondered what it actually means to lobby government? Run and NGO? Inform actual public debate? Adele has done all of that and lets us know what it's like... spoiler alert, it's difficult! We got the goods on how you do all of that AND figure out how to be your best self through it all. Lots of people talk about valuing authenticity. From this chat I got that Adele actually lives and works authenticity.
