About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Have you had a setback - a falling out with a leader, a failed project, a redundancy, personal challenge or just not getting your work or yourself noticed?


In hybrid workplaces, rapid business shifts, just being good at your job isn’t enough. You need to be visible, memorable and influential.

We’ll explore what it means to build career capital and a thriving reputation — the mix of credibility, communication and innovation that fuels your influence and momentum.


This is no ordinary networking event. You’ll benefit from the power of small group coaching with advisors and coaches with deep experience in storytelling, leadership, communications and stakeholder engagement. This is an introduction into:


  • How to articulate your value
  • How to tackle the things standing in your way (mindset, behaviours)
  • Expand your visibility and influence and move from overlooked to memorable


Whether you're preparing for a bigger role, feeling stuck, or simply ready to raise your profile, this session will help you take control of your narrative and your next steps.


Meet a few of the experts you will deep dive with:

Amanda Behre, CEO Dear Thrive (and marketing leader, board director, career coach)

Nils Vesk, Innovation Expert (and 4 times author, key note speaker)

Sam Yee, Product & Insights Strategist ex AFL and Kayo (and practical career advisor)

Julie Trell, Chief Play Officer at Playful Purpose

Amanda Morey, Business Results Coach (and ex sales leader)

Carla Miz, Product and Partnerships Leader


In small group sessions, you'll get an opportunity to learn, ask questions and get practical tips to takeaway and apply.
