This interactive webinar is designed to help leaders speak with courage, empathy, clarity, and integrity – even when the stakes are high.

Every leader faces moments where the right words are hard to find: when performance slips, behaviour crosses a line, or a difficult message must be delivered. This practical, high-impact session introduces the core principles of effective difficult conversations. Combining courage to speak up, empathy to stay connected, clarity to communicate purpose, and integrity to stay aligned with values.

Participants will leave with key frameworks, practical phrases, and a renewed confidence to approach challenging discussions with calm, fairness, and focus, turning uncomfortable moments into opportunities for trust and growth.

This session offers an in-depth exploration of the gender pay gap — what it is, how it has evolved, and the structural factors that continue to sustain it. We’ll draw on the latest evidence, including key findings from the WGEA 2026 report, WGEA’s Employer of Choice research, and other leading studies on childhood stereotypes and systemic interventions.

You will gain:

• A clear explanation of the drivers behind the gender pay gap and how they have shifted into 2026.

• Evidence-based solutions and practical actions organisations can implement now — and a realistic view of which changes are likely (or unlikely) to emerge without sustained effort.

• Insights from cross-disciplinary research, including applications of the Wicked Problems framework to policy and workplace interventions, plus the most recent data on gender inequality.

• Practical takeaways and best-practice examples that empower individuals and organisations to contribute to a fairer, more equitable workplace.

Who will benefit:
All genders; HR professionals; executive leaders, board members and decision-makers; employees at all career stages; and parents or carers.

Join us for rigorous analysis, real-world examples, and a toolbox of actions you can use to drive meaningful change in 2026 and beyond.

Are you an Invisible Contributor? Perhaps you consistently deliver phenomenal results at work, but it gets you nowhere. Maybe you avoid talking about yourself and your input, hoping your work will just ‘speak for itself’. A lot of people say ‘self-promotion’ feels ‘cringeworthy’ and worry they’ll be negatively judged by others if they do it – is that you too?

The problem is, if you don’t confidently talk about you, your results and your impact you run the serious risk of remaining invisible, other people presenting your ideas as their own, and missing out on potentially life-changing career opportunities.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

1. The pain, and career limitations, of being an Invisible Contributor
2. The real reason you’re avoiding talking about your results
3. 7 ways to reframe how you’re approaching ‘self-promotion’ (to make it a whole lot easier!)
4. Tools to build your visibility and credibility with key stakeholders

In a world overflowing with information, our nervous systems are constantly under pressure to process more than ever before. This workshop helps you understand how your mind absorbs and filters information so you can train it to stay focused on what truly matters. By improving your ability to sustain attention and ignore distractions, you’ll enhance your productivity, reduce stress, and strengthen your commitment to your priorities.

Through practical insights and exercises, you’ll explore the key concepts behind focus, what undermines it and how to build habits that support deep concentration. You’ll also learn effective strategies to minimise procrastination, improve the quality of your work, and maintain clarity amid constant demands. The session concludes with a Q&A to help you apply these focus-enhancing tools in your daily routine.

Uncertainty is a constant in today’s workplaces. Yet it can trigger stress, overthinking, and a tendency towards over-control, which can actually drain our effectiveness. Whether it’s shifting priorities, new expectations or the simple reality that not everything goes to plan, uncertainty can quietly shape the way we think, decide and lead.

This session explores how to work with uncertainty rather than against it. You’ll be introduced to practical tools that help you stay centred, make clearer decisions and respond with greater confidence, even when the path ahead isn’t fully defined. Whether you’re leading others or navigating change yourself, this webinar offers a grounded and empowering approach to staying effective in unpredictable times.

In this groundbreaking keynote, Dr Jodie Lowinger redefines how we think about anxiety, transforming it from a source of fear into a catalyst for strength, clarity, and purposeful action.

A practical workshop for leaders navigating task and relationship conflict

Conflict is inevitable in teams — but how we diagnose and respond to it makes all the difference. This session cuts through the noise to give participants a clear, evidence-based framework for understanding why conflict escalates, how our brains work against us in heated moments, and crucially how to move from reactive patterns toward empowered, constructive responses.

Drawing on behavioural science, cognitive psychology, and the Drama Triangle framework, participants will build both the self-awareness and the practical tools to show up differently when conflict arises.

Learning Outcomes:

– Understand the threat responses that drive our behaviour when we feel psychologically unsafe, so self-empathy and self-awareness are vital

– Diagnose conflict accurately — distinguishing between ‘cool’ task conflict and ‘hot’ relationship conflict, and knowing why that distinction matters

– Apply the Bells and Hart Model to identify the 8 root causes of task conflict before it turns relational

– Go below the surface from positions and ‘hot’ behaviour to the root cause of relational conflict.

– Build self-awareness through knowing the three below-the-line roles of the Drama Triangle that we tend to play when Persecutor, Rescuer, and Victim — and recognise when we slip into them

Perfect for leaders, people managers, and professionals navigating difficult team dynamics, this workshop equips you to respond to conflict with clarity, intention, and genuine impact — rather than defaulting to patterns that keep you stuck.

Join us for an introductory exploration of the Debt Capital Markets (DCM)—a foundational area of global finance that plays a critical role in how companies, governments, and institutions raise capital.

This session will break down the essentials of DCM, including:
• What the debt capital markets are and why they matter
• How DCM teams operate, including their core objectives and how they generate revenue
• What “fixed income” really means, and the different types of debt instruments used in markets today
• The difference between the primary and secondary markets, and how each functions

Whether you’re new to banking, want to strengthen your understanding of financial markets, or are curious about career pathways in DCM, this session provides a practical and accessible introduction to the mechanics, terminology, and people behind the debt markets.

Perfect for early-career professionals or anyone looking to build confidence in this critical area of finance.
