International Day of Rural Women: Driving Change, Innovation, and Connection
2025-10-15 12:15 - 13:00 (Australia/Sydney) | https://sandbox11.websitetesting.co/event/thriving-beyond-the-city-empowering-rural-communities-through-innovation-and-connection/
In celebration of International Day of Rural Women on 15 October, this webinar recognises and honours the resilience, strength, and vital contributions of women in remote and rural communities.
This important day is not only a celebration of achievement—highlighting the crucial roles rural women play in community leadership, regional development, and our own banking and finance sector, where they are driving change, improving financial access, and supporting economic resilience in their communities—but also a call to action. It reminds us of the unique challenges many women still face in isolated areas, from lack of access to basic services to deep-rooted gender stereotypes that can limit opportunity.
In this session, we’ll explore how rural organisations are leveraging technology and AI to boost connection, productivity, and opportunity. We’ll highlight innovative tools enabling women to thrive, share insights into the evolving rural landscape, and spotlight small but impactful actions corporations and individuals can take to offer meaningful support.
Join us as we shine a light on rural women’s stories and discuss how we can collectively foster inclusive growth and opportunity for all—no matter their postcode.

Scams, Fraud & AI - The $1 Trillion Dollar Industry We Can't Ignore
2025-10-21 12:15 - 13:00 (Australia/Sydney) | https://sandbox11.websitetesting.co/event/scams-fraud-ai/
Fraud, scams and financial crimes are no longer a fringe issue; in 2024 globally we lost over $1 TRILLION (Source – GASA). In this compelling keynote, Tracy Hall draws from her deeply personal journey of being the final victim of Hamish McLaren, one of Australia’s most notorious conmen. The story was first exposed through the hit podcast by The Australian WHO THE HELL IS HAMISH and Tracy has since gone on to write a memoir about her experiences of losing her life savings ($317,000) to a man she loved and trusted. Through raw storytelling and insightful analysis, Tracy sheds light on the devastating impact of fraud, the stigma of victim-blaming, and how the rapid advancement of AI is reshaping the landscape of scams for both corporations and criminals.

This keynote is not just a cautionary tale; it is a call to action for individuals, communities, and organisations to build financial and digital resilience, educate themselves on scams and fraud, recognise vulnerabilities, support victim pathways and foster vigilance in an increasingly deceptive world.

How to Accelerate Your Career
2025-11-11 12:15 - 13:00 (Australia/Sydney) | https://sandbox11.websitetesting.co/event/how-to-accelerate-your-career/
If You Don’t Stand Out, You Miss Out. Think your hard work and results will speak for themselves? Think again. The competitiveness of the corporate world means visibility isn’t optional—it’s essential. The opportunities you dream of—promotions, board roles, or being seen as an industry leader—aren’t given to those who stay invisible. They go to those who stand out. But standing out doesn’t mean being louder. It means being strategic and intentional about your brand and how you show up.
If you don’t stand out, someone else will. It’s time to stop being the best-kept secret in your industry and start claiming the opportunities you deserve.
In this webinar you’ll learn:

The 7 steps to achieve career success in 2026.

Why some people attract the best roles and how you can too.

How to avoid the number one mistake professionals make that stops them from reaching their potential.

Rediscover Gesture: The Secret to Powerful Communication
2026-03-10 12:15 - 13:00 (Australia/Sydney) | https://sandbox11.websitetesting.co/event/rediscover-gesture-the-secret-to-powerful-communication/
The solution to many communication challenges can be found in one simple, often overlooked tool: gestures. Gestures speak their own language — they have always been central to human expression, studied for centuries until recent times when they nearly disappeared from focus. Now, it’s time to bring them back into the modern world.
But using gestures effectively isn’t about flailing your arms or moving without purpose. There are clear principles that guide powerful, confident movement — and in this session, you’ll learn how to apply them naturally within your own environment.
Beyond communication, gestures unlock freedom in the body. They allow your breath to flow, your rhythm to sync with your words, and even enhance memory through physical connection.
Join us to rediscover the art of gesture — and release the full force of your personal presence.
