Local Link has always been about bringing the right people together in the room and this panel is the perfect example.

On Wednesday 29 October, we’re bringing back three of our most popular speakers for a special panel at Amora Brisbane.

Every time they’ve spoken at our events, they’ve sold out the room. This time, we’re putting them all together on one stage.

✨ The New Leadership Playbook ✨

The rules of leadership have changed. It is no longer enough for leaders to just deliver outcomes or make the right decisions.

Today leaders are measured by how they connect, communicate and inspire, especially when times are changing - fast! That is exactly what this panel will explore.

Introducing our superstar panelists:

⭐ Toby Jenkins OLY – Leadership coach, Olympian and award-winning entrepreneur. Toby has helped Olympic medalists, CEOs and founders navigate tough decisions, perform under pressure and build high performance teams grounded in values.

⭐ Jade MacLeod – Director of APAC Go-to-market Operations at LinkedIn. Jade has worked at LinkedIn for more than 10 years and leads APAC-wide strategy and transformation while championing people-centric leadership.

⭐ Dave Greenberg – With over 4,000 rescue missions and frontline leadership in New Zealand’s COVID-19 response, Dave knows what it takes to lead when the stakes are at their highest. Today he helps organisations build resilience that works in the real world.

📍 Venue: Amora Hotel
🕠 Time: 5:30pm to 8:30pm (Panel: 7:15pm to 8:00pm)

Facilitated by Kylie Chown, this panel will unpack:

✅ How leaders build resilience in themselves and their teams
✅ What high performance really means in 2025
✅ The role of trust, visibility and empathy in leadership today
✅ How to lead through disruption and extraordinary times

It’s a chance to hear directly from three leaders who have led through challenge and change and know what it takes.
