Bang. Bang. Bang.<\/em> This is the story of how a knock on the door became a connection to purpose – and how each of us can turn what we do into what our communities need. In this compelling and raw talk, we explore what it means to be an Agile Citizen – a professional who chooses to contribute their skills toward systems, services, and solutions that serve real people in real moments of need.<\/p>\n Your capability belongs in the places where change matters most. Whether your superpower is navigating complexity, facilitating collaboration, or shifting culture, we\u2019ll share real stories of people who turned personal purpose into meaningful public impact – and the ripple effects of one person stepping forward across a winter lawn with Angelique in arms.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll leave with one question echoing in your ears: What is your knock at the door? What signal in your world calls for action – and how will you respond?<\/p>\n This session blends storytelling, theatre, and a live challenge to help you find your own pathway to impact – plus tangible ways to bring your craft into the public sector. Bring your heart, your experience, and your why.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time to be the change – and deliver value where it matters most.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”626″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”1em” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2025\/speakers\/” button_text=”Back to Speakers page” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#26AEBB” button_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” button_border_color=”#26AEBB” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon=”#||divi||400″ button_icon_placement=”left” button_on_hover=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_text_color__hover=”#22485C” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” button_border_color__hover=”#22485C” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” button_bg_color__hover=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” button_icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ next_background_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”90deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”#9ad9e7 0%|#26aebb 50%|#9ad9e7 100%” bottom_divider_style=”waves2″ bottom_divider_height=”50px” bottom_divider_height_tablet=”50px” bottom_divider_height_phone=”25px” bottom_divider_height_last_edited=”on|phone” global_module=”540″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||50px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||50px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||25px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][dipi_dual_heading first_heading=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF90aXRsZSIsInNldHRpbmdzIjp7ImJlZm9yZSI6IiIsImFmdGVyIjoiIn19@” second_heading=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9leGNlcnB0Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsiYmVmb3JlIjoiIiwiYWZ0ZXIiOiIiLCJ3b3JkcyI6IiIsInJlYWRfbW9yZV9sYWJlbCI6IiJ9fQ==@” heading_tag=”h1″ heading_display=”column” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”first_heading,second_heading” _module_preset=”default” first_heading_font=”–et_global_heading_font||||||||” first_heading_text_color=”#FFFFFF” first_heading_font_size=”50px” second_heading_font=”–et_global_body_font|700|||||||” second_heading_text_color=”#FFFFFF” second_heading_letter_spacing=”1px” second_heading_line_height=”1.4em” first_heading_font_size_tablet=”50px” first_heading_font_size_phone=”40px” first_heading_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dipi_dual_heading][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":652,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"2880","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"dipi_cpt_category":[],"class_list":["post-650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-invited"],"yoast_head":"\n
