Life By Design: Creating a career that works for you & your lifestyle

Life By Design: Creating a career that works for you & your lifestyle

*SOLD OUT. JOIN THE WAITLIST!*

Looking for an excuse to meet new industry friends, mingle with fellow Women in Digital and find some fresh inspiration? We've got you covered! 

Earlier this year, Women in Digital hosted a panel of four incredible c-suiters at Emporium Hotels with over 200 attendees for the SOLD OUT Women in Leadership Event! This time, we are swapping out the silver cutlery for drinks & canapés at The Calile Hotel in Brisbane for a mixer you won't want to miss. 

Join us July 29th to hear from a national panel of FOUR extremely accomplished women in digital, each with their own unique and scintillating stories on how they landed positions with some of the world's leading names in innovation. You might have heard some of these companies - Uber, Klarna, Raisely, Glossier, Google, Zip Co. and Disney? 

We want to sit down with them to talk all things LIFE & CAREER DESIGN.

Throughout their journeys, they have learnt a thing or two about leading a fulfilled life; juggling their passions, balancing multiple versions of themselves (employee, daughter, friend, wife, mother, partner, student, neighbour... you name it!), career progression and everything in between and are keen to share with us the work-life tips and tricks they have picked up along the way!

During this panel, we will be discussing: 

• Work/life balance (hint: it's definitely not just for parents)
• Career design: how our speakers got to where they are today
• How COVID-19 has affected and shaped their life design
• Setting expectations and boundaries for your career 
• Practical tips on how to start designing your life and career  
• What life looked like when it wasn't in balance and how that manifested
• How you can assess culture when joining a new company
• How to choose the right company for you 
• Top tips if you are feeling out of balance
• And as usual, questions from the audience!

We welcome all champions of diversity, manbassadors included!
