November 2023


Presented by Marella Gibson


EXECUTIVE PRESENCE AND INFLUENCE

Hard work and technical competence are not sufficient for career progression and success in today’s complex organisations and matrix teams.

To earn recognition and reward, and be seen as a trusted adviser, you need to inspire confidence in others by articulating and communicating your ideas with clarity and composure, demonstrate commitment to delivering outcomes, and leverage soft-power strategies when formal authority and power structures aren’t available.

This session covered a range of learnable skills to help you:

  1. 1. 'Show up’ and deliver with impact in physical and virtual settings - the ‘how'
  2. 2. Curate your message for maximum impact - the ‘what'
  3. 3. Anticipate and overcome common challenges - practical tips and Q&A

October 2023

Presented by Penelope Cottrill, Executive Manager WGEA


UPCOMING WGEA REFORMS AND WORKPLACE PREPARATION

Earlier this year, Parliament passed the Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Closing the Gender Pay Gap) Bill 2023. Together with the remade Legislative Instruments, which took effect on 6 February 2023, these legislative reforms are a significant step forward to help accelerate employer action to close the gender pay gap.

One of the major changes to come from these reforms is that in early 2024 – the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) will publish employer gender pay gaps.

WGEA’s Executive Manager – Research and Education, will guide you through:

  • The WGEA reforms
  • Preparing your organisation for the publication of employer gender pay gaps
  • Taking action

September 2023

Presented by Moya Dodd, Partner, Gilbert + Tobin Lawyers


HOW EXPECTATIONS CAN CHANGE OUTCOMES

Former Matilda Moya Dodd will reflect on the success of the Women’s World Cup, which produced the most-watched television program in Australia (the Matildas v England semi-final) since records began.

The first step to success is believing that it is possible.

  • When did we start believing that women’s sport was worthy?
  • When did we stop discounting its value, and the value of its audience, because of the gender of those playing?
  • Can this same process help to address the stubborn gender pay gaps that persist in so many industry sectors?
  • And can a belief in the power of inclusion help to bring the Voice to reality in the upcoming referendum?

August 2023

Presented by Debra Brodowski, National Manager, Psychological Services, Centre for Corporate Health


HOW DO I HAVE THIS CONVERSATION? 

As HR professionals (and generally, as kind and caring humans!), we care deeply about the wellbeing of our employees and are often called upon to provide initial support when someone is experiencing poor mental health. But what do you do when a casual wellbeing check-in presents concerns about an employee’s safety, how do you assess the associated risks and determine how best to respond in a hybrid workplace?

In this interactive and in person seminar, Debra Brodowski from the Centre for Corporate Health will walk you through the mental health intervention framework and specific tips for ensuring you are providing appropriate support and asking the right questions to assess risk of self harm, plus strategies for looking after yourself during and after these high intensity conversations. You will be provided an opportunity for a round table conversation with HR peers using the tools provided in the session and a case study to workshop how do I have this conversation?

May 2023

Presented by Shaun Kenny, People of Influence


INFLUENCING WITHOUT AUTHORITY

What do you do when you need to influence a stakeholder and you have no authority over them?

What else can you use to ensure they listen, understand and are persuaded by your message?

So many professionals need to influence without authority but don’t know how to propose ideas persuasively while avoiding getting push back. This session gives you a framework and structure to do just that. One that you can use in conversations, presentations or written communication, both long and short.

When you understand what this framework is and why it works, you will also understand what to do when you hit unexpected roadblocks in conversations where you are attempting to influence, because you will know how to diagnose where you went wrong.

The overall outcome of this session is that you are furnished with powerful principles and a practical technique so that you can have more effective interactions that are more persuasive and get you better results.

Key Outcomes - We discover:

  • The fundamental principle underpinning all influencing interactions.
  • Why we get push back, resistance and objections and how to avoid them.
  • A simple yet comprehensive structure for any type of influencing ‘pitch’ communication.
  • An understanding of how to apply this in your context, with practice.
  • Finally, how to specifically position your message and yourself to senior stakeholder
