Peer Learning Session: Navigating visibility at work

Friday 4 August, 2026
12:30pm - 1:30pm AEST

It is time to look at the data, challenge the status quo and bust some myths wide open. In this free, one hour webinar, our expert panel will unpack what’s really happening in Australian workplaces - and shine a light on the real reasons women hit that glass ceiling, glass cliff or even the glass gate. So, come debunk those tired - but stubborn - tropes with us and gain some insights you can use to make lasting change.

Practical people management offers hands-on strategies for effectively leading diverse teams, enhancing communication, and fostering a collaborative work environment. Participants will engage in interactive activities and real-world scenarios to develop skills in conflict resolution, motivation, and performance management.

This session will cover:

    • From mate to manager
    • Relationship management
    • Meaningful feedback
    • Resolving disputes
    • Difficult conversations
    • Diverse teams

This masterclass is delivered live, online and runs for 3.5 hours.

Mini Masterclass: High capability and fluctuating capacity

Thursday 3 September 2026
12:00pm - 12:45pm AEST

Join Helen and Jamila as they share their advice on managing capacity, distinguishing it from capability. For many of us, the greatest challenge isn't a lack of talent, but the pressure to maintain a narrative that views capability and capacity as the same thing. And when we treat those two things as the same, we can end up in a cycle of guilt and overwork.
