1 FEBRUARY AT 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEDT: Jamila Rizvi is a bestselling author, presenter and gender expert who will help you understand the gendered drivers of confidence and leadership.

Recession: What the evolving economic climate means for women
3 FEBRUARY AT 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEDT: 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.
Identifying financial opportunities to survive and thrive
10 FEBRUARY AT 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEDT: 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.
Knowing your strengths. Finding your influence
17 FEBRUARY AT 12:00PM - 1:30PM AEDT: 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.
