The live program has now finished and the great news is, you can still purchase a ticket to receive access to all 6 weeks recordings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced so many of us to reconsider what is most important in life. While we absolutely love bringing large groups of people together in person, we have reinvented what Newday means in 2020. We are really excited to share this with you!

Teaming up with some of the the most in-demand leaders and speakers in Australia and globally, we have adapted and curated a compelling and deliberately practical series of supported online leadership sessions to help you and your team lead for the greater good.

"How can we learn to be fully awake in the face of something unprecedented?" - Otto Scharmer

As we emerge from a time of isolation and disruption into a world that is not quite familiar, our ‘Reimagining Leadership’ series, starting on 1 July, will give you the impetus you need to challenge the status quo and create positive impact; to become a person who embodies 'inspired leadership for the greater good'.

The 2020 ‘Reimagining Leadership’ eSeries: the best of both worlds

We are determined to move beyond a world limited to webinars or pre-recorded content and into a realm that brings people together around inspiring and insightful thinkers and do-ers. We want to support and embed deep learning, including work you can do on paper and work you can do with the support of peers. (from your organisation or other members of the Newday community).

It takes six weeks for most of us to develop new habits, so we have designed a program of six weekly leadership sessions that will that will each run for about 75 minutes, with some optional time to prep or integrate learning with your colleagues and friends.

Our program is designed to work even if you remain in physical isolation at home. It can be a self-directed leadership program where webinars can be watched live or out of scheduled session times (as they are recorded). We have also enabled innovation through the creation of what we are calling leadership ‘pods’. If you have the opportunity to have small groups of staff together, within social distancing guidelines, this program is a great team activity. Small groups can watch the live webinar together on a large screen at work, share lunch and discuss learnings.

Or if you are keen to connect with the Newday Community and meet like-minded people, you also have the option of being matched with nine other participants to create your own leadership pod. This unique peer model provides for support and learning that can adapt as the rules for social distancing change here in Australia and across the world. There is every possibility that you will be able to meet with your pod in a physical space, or just join in a video or regular phone call as you prepare for or reflect on each session.

In this series you can look forward to:

sessions facilitated by Newday summit curators and hosts, Katrina Webb and Matthew Wright-Simon
special guest speakers and interviewees
time for Q&A (with some sessions responding to questions prompted by participants)
activities to keep everyone focussed and energy levels high
the opportunity to be part of your own group (or ‘pod’) of approximately 10 participants so you can develop actions and support one another
exclusive content from our Newday community, including keynote sessions from the last three years
weekly ‘homework’ and reflection time to support meaningful change
a Newday journal/ejournal
access to session recordings for 30 days

6 weeks. Develop new habits. Adapt to uncertainty. Lead for the greater good.

A special welcome The series starts with a special ceremonial welcome from Mickey Kumatpi O’Brien, Kaurna elder and Newday Leadership advisor. Dr Gill Hicks will open our program and invite us to use this precious gift of time as an opportunity to look deeper into ourselves and to ask just one question: how do I want to emerge from this Newday? Our first special guest from the UK Martin Kalungu-Banda will speak on Leading from the future as it emerges Martin is a consultant in organisational and leadership development, a facilitator of innovation and change; trainer, coach and author. He is a faculty member for the Presencing Institute, and for HSBC Next Generation Development, HRH Duke of Edinburgh’s Commonwealth Study Conference for Leaders, and the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.

Week 2 Thursday 9 July 2020 12.00 – 13.15 (GMT+9:30)		Harnessing your passion to wake up and change the world Dr James Muecke AM, Australian of the Year 2020 James graduated with Honours from the University of Adelaide Medical School in 1987. Following his internship, James lived and worked as a doctor in Africa and subsequently as an eye surgeon in the Middle East, battling malaria, wild animals and rebel soldiers. He founded Sight For All in 2008, turning his boundless energy into a fight against blindness in the Aboriginal communities of Australia and some of the poorest countries of Asia and Africa. His commitment to social impact and humanitarian endeavors has earned him a string of awards including an Order of Australia in 2012, the Australian Medical Association’s President’s Leadership Award in 2013, and Ernst & Young’s Social Entrepreneur for Australia in 2015. This year, Dr Muecke was announced as the Australian of the Year.

Week 3 Wednesday 15 July 2020 12.00 – 13.15 (GMT+9:30)		Reconnecting leadership with purpose Rebecca Tapp in discussion with Katrina Webb. Before Corona (BC), purpose was considered to be the North Star. The brightest light in the sky, a beacon guiding us to the future. But what happens when that future has been turned upside down? When the sky is all of a sudden covered by clouds? According to Rebecca, conscious leaders need to stop, and instead of thinking about purpose as something we steer towards in the future, use it as an anchor in the present moment. Reawakening and reconnecting purpose in leadership is no longer about purpose, it's about being purposeful. Rebecca Tapp assists industry leaders, CEO'S, entrepreneurs and media personalities to activate purpose-driven influence. She has spent 15 years working in partnership with globally acclaimed speakers, activists, authors and influencers. She is the host of the Decoding Purpose Podcast, the CEO & Founder of Supernova Tribe, and a Director of Future Crunch. We will also hear from special guests Rob and Cheryl Wood in conversation with Mike Worsman. Rob and Cheryl are two human beings who have abandoned the 'normal' to pursue the truly extraordinary. At 72 years old apiece, this committed couple have sacrificed more than most in order to lead for the greater good. From not owning their first home until they were 63, to risking their life in war zones and never being paid a regular wage, what these two beacons of peace and hope will teach you is simple: there is another way… several, in fact. ...............................................................................................
Week 4 Wednesday 22 July 2020 12.00 – 13.15 (GMT+9:30)		Thinking differently to reimagine leadership Vinh Giang For more than 15 years, Vinh Giang has dedicated himself to mastering the art of performance-enhanced communication, helping thousands of professionals worldwide do the same through the power of magic. In his inspiring talks, Vinh seamlessly integrates storytelling and magic to motivate audiences to embrace change and see the "possible in the impossible." Vinh delivers his key messages in a truly memorable and profound manner that always leaves his audiences with a sense of wonder and empowerment. In response to the world’s circumstances and the need for global leadership support, Vinh has transformed his keynote performances from stage to studio in ways that many would consider magical. ...............................................................................................
Week 5 Wednesday 29 July 2020 12.00 – 13.15 (GMT+9:30)		Lessons from Reimagining Leadership An ‘all star’ line-up of former summit speakers return to host Newday breakout rooms on what this series has taught them — and how this may apply to you.

Week 6 Wednesday 5 August 2020 12.00 – 13.15 (GMT+9:30)		Reawakening and re-emerging Dr Gill Hicks and Ani Choying Drolma Dr Gill Hicks returns to share her vision for a different world, one that is richer, wiser and most importantly, grateful. She will also challenge us to reflect on what you learned from the Newday eSeries and then make a personal pledge to bring your Reimagining Leadership Plan to life. To close we will be joined by the incomparable Ani Choying Drolma, ‘buddhist rockstar nun’, author and philanthropist whose singing performances have earned her millions of admirers – in real life and online (where her music videos have amassed more than 20 million views).
