"What makes me optimistic is the phenomenal talent and passion we have in the water sector, driven by the desire to provide healthy, sustainable thriving communities. People in water aren’t here for money and fame, we work in water because it is essential to life and liveability and we feel an altruistic motivation to ensure a better future for generations to come. The energy at work is contagious, and I feel hopeful and confident for our future."

The infectiously optimistic leadership, wisdom and insight of Madeleine Greenlee.  Madeleine generously answered my question, "What makes you Optimistic?"

Madeleine Greenlee is Senior Manager, Resilient Water Futures for SA Water in South Australia.
 
I got to see her optimism in action as she led the team working on the Greater Melbourne Urban Water & System Strategy to deliver a 50 year strategy for Greater Melbourne's Urban Water Security!  Yes, a 50 year strategy!
 
What makes you optimistic?  Can you touch the future like Madeleine?
