Future Proof is a nine-part webinar series that educates, informs and upskills women who want to take the next step in their careers but aren’t quite sure how or where to begin.
Developed by the team at Future Women, in collaboration with leading economic, recruitment, confidence and training experts, Future Proof is a game changer.
Whether you’re facing redundancy, mapping your new career path, too nervous to apply for a promotion or ask for a pay rise, Future Proof is the 2021 roadmap you need.
Combining inspirational speeches, step-by- step guides, engaging conversations and practical workshops, Future Proof meets women where they’re at now.
Registrations for the current program closed on 16 July. The next intake of the Future Proof program will be in February, 2022.
The confidence deficit: Why you’re not just lucky
5 JULY AT 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: Jamila Rizvi is a bestselling author, presenter and gender expert who will help you understand the gendered drivers of confidence and leadership. She will teach you how inequality undermines women’s workplace success, how to take control of your own narrative, and remind you that you’re not just lucky.
What the evolving economic climate means for women
7 JULY AT 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: 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 it really means for working women and gender equality.
Identifying financial opportunities to survive and thrive
16 JULY AT 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: 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
22 JULY AT 1:00PM - 2:30PM AEST: 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.

Knowing your worth and asking for what you want
25 AUGUST AT 12:00PM - 1:00PM AEST: Kemi Nekvapil is an executive coach, speaker and author who supports women to know and understand themselves in relation to their work, whether that be at work or at home.
