Head & Heart Workshop - Thursday 25 July 2024 - with guest speaker Dr Lili Sussman

An insightful and thought-provoking workshop designed for individuals wanting to take the first step to learn more about the for-purpose arena and carve out a unique path to working ‘on purpose’. Especially relevant in today's world where many people are looking to support a charity (or two) through volunteering.

For those looking for a career pivot or seeking further engagement from their work, this workshop is designed to help participants work through a Personal Impact Framework providing an actionable pathway to engage in and contribute to the for-purpose economy.

Our guest speaker for Thursday, 25 July will be Dr Lili Sussman who having worked with Boston Consulting Group and Commonwealth Bank, made the leap into the for purpose space with Social Ventures Australia (SVA) and most recently is using her experiences and perspectives to coach CEO's and leadership teams.

Dr. Lili Sussman earned her PhD (in political decision-making) from Harvard University, and has spent two decades scaling tech businesses, leading not for profits, consulting to some of the largest multinationals (with BCG), and building new products and innovations across many markets and sectors.

In 2023, she was named Australia's Female Fintech leader of the Year, having doubled revenue and customer growth year on year at one of the country's top 20 fastest growing tech companies, while building the #2 best place to work in the FS industry and the #1 company for DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in Australia. Similar to a sports team coach, she now coaches scaleup businesses, coaching the CEO plus the entire executive team as a business team coach, using a proven system that connects and unlocks people, strategy, execution, and cash - in order to achieve consistent high growth (typically 30%+ growth YoY, and aiming for 10x valuation in 3 years). Her coaching system also enables the executive team to lead successfully with balance, not burnout.

In this workshop, you will hear insights collected over the past decade by the People for Purpose team on the challenges and opportunities that face the sector.

Head & Heart workshops provide participants with:

• a solid understanding of the Australian for-purpose arena
• clarity around personal purpose
• resources to initiate steps to engagement
• connectivity to others on a similar journey

"The Head and Heart workshop was fantastic. It was inspiring and informative and it has given me immense food for thought. I was every motivated by Rachael’s story and her passion for the sector. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to others."

"People for Purpose helped me make the successful transition from the corporate world to the for- purpose sector after 25 years at Qantas. The advice I was given was valuable and simple and I am loving my new executive role with the Royal Institute for the Deaf and Blind. Thank you People for Purpose."
