Brisbane Roundtable Lurch: Human-Centred Leadership in Times of Change

Across the biggest leadership and organisational challenges currently facing Brisbane businesses and community organisations, one theme consistently stands out:

Leaders are navigating continuous disruption while trying to keep people engaged, resilient, and connected.

Across all sectors, organisations are simultaneously dealing with:

AI and digital transformation
Workforce fatigue and burnout
Skills shortages and capability gaps
Hybrid work and changing workplace expectations
Rising operational pressure
Increasing expectations around wellbeing, culture, and purpose

The evidence increasingly suggests that the greatest challenge is people’s capacity to adapt to ongoing change.

Join Change Specialist Tracy Cooper and Financial Adviser Helen Nan CFP for an executive-level roundtable conversation exploring what human-centred leadership looks like in this environment. We will unpack how leaders can build trust, culture, resilience, and clarity through continuous change.

This is not a seminar or keynote presentation. It is a confidential, peer-led leadership conversation where every voice at the table is heard.

Together, we will explore:

The leadership and organisational pressures currently facing Queensland businesses and community organisations
How leaders maintain engagement, trust, and culture during ongoing disruption
Burnout prevention, resilience, and sustainable leadership practices
Adaptive leadership capability in uncertain environments
Practical approaches to leading people through complexity and change
Shared experiences, insights, and real-world challenges across sectors

This structure ensures depth, relevance, and meaningful exchange across perspectives.

Enjoy:

A delicious lunch with refreshments
A private room of welcoming women engaging in intelligent, honest, and future-focused dialogue
Practical insights and meaningful takeaways
Genuine peer connection and thoughtful conversation

A Confidential & Trusted Space

This conversation is held under Chatham House Rule and aligned with Business Women Australia’s Conscious Communication Guidelines.

What is shared in the room stays in the room.

We intentionally create a space where women can speak openly without judgment, reflect honestly, and engage at depth.

Who This Is For

This experience is designed for women who are:

Established in business, leadership, or professional practice
CEOs, founders, executives, directors, and senior decision-makers
Women on boards and advisory committees
Leaders across commercial, government, and community sectors
Individuals interested in personal and professional growth, ready to engage in meaningful, peer-level conversation

Why Attend

Engage in conversations rarely held in traditional business forums
Gain perspective from peers, who are leaders across industries and sectors
Reflect on your own leadership approach in a changing environment
Build meaningful connections with experienced professional women
Leave with clarity, insight, and conversations to initiate beyond the room

Seats are strictly limited to preserve the calibre and depth of conversation.

Early registration is recommended.
