The Leadership Reset: Skills, Mindsets and Models for the Future Workforce

Join us for an engaging fireside chat between WiBF CEO Stephanie Girard and Maryanne Kelly, Managing Director, Strategic Financial Solutions Division at QTC, as they explore the skills, mindsets and leadership models needed to build thriving, future-ready organisations.

Drawing on more than two decades of leadership experience across the Australian, United Kingdom and Queensland Governments, Maryanne will share insights from leading complex policy, program and organisational outcomes in dynamic and challenging environments. Together, they will discuss how leaders can move beyond traditional command-and-control approaches to embrace more flexible, trust-based and people-centred ways of working.

This session will explore how workforce expectations are reshaping leadership, with a focus on attracting, developing and retaining talent, fostering high-performing and inclusive teams, and creating cultures that can adapt and succeed in an increasingly complex world.

Whether you are an emerging leader, executive or people manager, this conversation will provide practical insights to help you reset your leadership approach and confidently lead the workforce of the future.
