#40 with Michelle Gerdtz: ‘Reading The Play, building and fostering connection in vital parent/child relationships and a fork in the road leads to a pot of gold.’
Michelle Gerdtz is an administrator and General Manager in the Geelong and Barwon region. She has been the Chairperson at AFL Barwon for the past few years, but has always been invovled in community sport. Her passion for community connection and building relationships has become her career path, as she works as the General Manager at 'Read The Play', an organisation that sets out to build mentally strong communities, particularly with young people in the Geelong and Surf Coast region between the ages 12-18. Michelle is a gregarious, kind and community-minded person who gets her hand dirty for the greater good. This conversation is perfect for a parent with a young child, a person thinking about getting involved with their local club and all those wanting to learn more about the objectives of programs like 'Read The Play.'
This episode features all the segments you love, from The 90 Second Nugget to Weird Fishes, with a wonderfully timed 'A Note To Self' around dealing with rejection and coming to the realisation that the path is never set in stone, and the alternative might become a dream you had never considered.
