The Australia-New Zealand Business Bridge is the Australia and New Zealand leg of My Most Trusted, hosted by Larri Wallbridge. A warm introduction is the only way to meet someone here. No bots, no spam, no cold outreach.
the ditch. What Australians and New Zealanders both call the Tasman Sea, as if two thousand kilometres of ocean were a gutter between neighbours.
Across the ditch is how either side talks about the other, half fond and half rivalrous, and it is fair: the flight is short, the clocks are two hours apart and people move between the two countries freely. What is not short is the distance between a good firm in Wellington and the right buyer in Brisbane, when neither knows the other exists. One introduction from someone who knows both closes it.
Every club has an idea like this one, and it belongs to the place rather than to us. It is not a slogan we handed out.
What if, instead of fitting themselves around work, women had the conviction, courage and support to create work that genuinely fits them? That's the question at the heart of Larri Wallbridge's work. She helps accomplished women expand their inner capacity, understand how they uniquely operate at their best and create work aligned with who they are at their core, work that energises rather than diminishes them and enables greater prosperity, impact and freedom on their own terms. Founder of Fit for Business, Larri brings 30+ years across business, human behaviour, leadership, talent, organisational transformation and coaching, including founding and growing a successful cultural transformation business in South Africa. Through Fit by Design, her flagship experience, Larri brings carefully curated groups of women together to deeply understand their unique inner wiring, uncover what's constraining them and solve real work and business challenges. Each woman develops a highly personalised map of how her mind, emotions and energy naturally work together, almost a user manual for herself, helping her better understand how she makes decisions, where her strengths lie, what energises or drains her and the environments in which she is most likely to thrive. Rather than putting women into another box, the intention is the opposite: greater self-trust and freedom from trying to succeed according to somebody else's operating system. Underpinning this is Larri's Wealth Energetics framework, which explores how our inner world shapes what we create and our capacity to prosper, helping women become more intentional about where, how and with whom they invest their energy, value and potential.
Larri Wallbridge is a real person in New Zealand, not a logo. That is the point. Somebody has to know both people for an introduction to be worth anything.
