Nicole Brown, a proud First Nations Australian woman with connections to Larrakia, Malak Malak and Yanyuwa nations, will be playing a key role in the First Nations UNLIMITED Leadership Summit to be held in Darwin next month.

The Summit, to be held at the Hilton Darwin and an online livestream November 11 and 12, brings together Indigenous leaders from across Australia and a range of fields to share their insights and experience.

"I'm looking forward to being immersed in two days of grassroots leadership engagement," Ms Brown told National Indigenous Times.

She said she was particularly looking forward to the keynote speech by Jade Ritchie, on the subject 'from resistance to resilience to influence, reframing First Nations leadership in the private sector'.

"The journey that I'm on now, I am really unpacking leadership from every angle. Hearing how she has used intergenerational trauma and legacy to shape her leadership is something I am really looking forward to," Ms Brown said. "Also, the 'building resilience in spaces not made for us' (session)."

Ms Brown gave credit to organisers The Hatchery for "putting together such a different agenda".

"They have really used grassroots leaders," she said.

"I am enjoying that (in this space) we are not hearing the same old leaders, talking about the same old topics. They've done a really great job in looking towards the unheard voices."

Ms Brown is also leading an advisory panel at the Summit on "leadership, reflection and advice through the First Nations lense".

"I will be joined by Rob McPhee, Jaylene Hill-Kickett and Allan Girdler - looking at leadership, the advice we have received and the difference it's made in our careers; advice we wish we'd received earlier on; how mentors play a role in your career; and who are the role models we look up to," she said.

"The personal journey I'm on, I'm curious to understand other people and where they're at in their own career. I think we have to be unafraid to ask how you got to where you got to, the good the bad and the ugly.

"Especially for our young people that are coming up… It is a way you can come to understand other people's worlds - where you 'see it, be it'; you've got role models out there doing their thing across every industry imaginable, and that is so important.

"I think I am probably at the best point of my career to date and I try to use my experience as an example to the next generation that they can achieve anything… Put yourself out there, have the conversations that might lead you down a new path."
