5 JULY: Monday at 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: The confidence deficit: Why you’re not just lucky.

Jamila Rizvi is a bestselling author, presenter and gender expert who will help you understand the gendered drivers of confidence and leadership. She will teach you how inequality undermines women’s workplace success, how to take control of your own narrative, and remind you that you’re not just lucky.

7 JULY: Wednesday at 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: Recession: What the evolving economic climate means for women.

Angela Jackson is a leading public sector and health economist, who has advised governments at the highest levels and negotiated with toddlers while crouched very low to the ground. She’ll step you through the evolving economic climate, and what a recession really means for working women and gender equality.

16 JULY: Friday at 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: Identifying financial opportunities to survive and thrive.

Lacey Filipich is the founder of Money School where she helps people become financially independent and reclaim their lives. Lacey will help you identify opportunities in a tight job market, while also providing practical advice on managing a tighter-than-usual household budget and planning for unexpected financial hurdles.

22 JULY: Thursday at 1:00PM - 2:30PM AEST: Knowing your strengths. Finding your influence.

Mim Bartlett is an executive coach and facilitator who specialises in career development and wellbeing. Mim teaches you how to integrate the different parts of your life while embracing the unavoidable personal and professional discomfort. She’ll teach you how to identify your own strengths,
and to find - and grow - your personal tribe of supporters.

28 JULY: Wednesday at 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: Joining the dots: From what you’ve done to where you want to go.

Penny Wilson is a senior leader in executive search. She knows what employers are looking for and will get you thinking on how to best articulate your proposition, in their language. Penny will help you start to proactively navigate career changes – whether by choice or otherwise - from what you’ve done, to where you want to go, and to what employers need. So you can ‘join the dots’ for employers and stand out for your next role, or where you are now.

4 AUGUST: Wednesday at 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: Writing that gets noticed: Resumes. Cover letters. Selection criteria.

Emma Hall is a communications consultant and writer who specialises in career advice, job search and applying for promotion. In a content-packed session she will teach you how to write a promotion-landing resume, a tailored cover letter that captures the attention of your superiors and how to draw on – and demonstrate - your experience when addressing selection criteria.

13 AUGUST: Friday at 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: Reading the room. Speaking with impact. Staying on message.

Tasneem Chopra is a speaker and consultant who appears regularly on television and radio.

She will coach you in intonation, pitch and breathwork as well as how to stay on message and keep the audience engaged.

18 AUGUST: Wednesday at 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: Self-care: Staying well amongst the uncertainty.

Maria Katsonis was a Harvard educated, a senior executive in the public service when she experienced a severe episode of depression that left her hospitalised for a month.
