In this workshop, you’ll learn how to prepare for and carry out a successful negotiation in any situation. Gary Edwards will provide you with the framework that applies to every negotiation, and a range of tools and strategies that you can use in any situation.

Senior Women's Networking - Lighting up LeadersFacilitator: Dr Gemma Munro This senior women’s networking event is an opportunity to celebrate the year that has been and to prepare for future success in 2023! In line with our commitments to workforce diversity and ongoing support of female leaders, at this event we look forward to hearing from Dr Gemma Munro. Gemma is an award-winning speaker, a transformative facilitator and a writer with a PhD in performance psychology. Winner of the Duncan Prize for speaking and a two-time Telstra Businesswoman of the Year finalist, Gemma is known as a catalyst for laughter, a-ha moments and wake-up calls. Gemma has spoken to audiences at Google, Amazon, PayPal, Qantas, Vodafone, and the NHS in London. She co-founded Inkling Group and was the founder of Inkling Women, known for its work across Australia, Asia and the UK in rapidly lifting the percentage of women at leadership level. In her keynote, ‘Lighting up Leaders’, Dr Gemma Munro paints a new and very doable leadership paradigm: one that involves lighting up the leader within. She talks through the two main shifts to create lit up leaders and the action steps under each shift. You are left with a set of tools that will help you to light yourself up - and to light up others. The bonus? You will leave feeling far more energised, and knowing how to quickly become happier, healthier and higher-performing.
