Women Leaders and Innovators Lunch

The Macquarie University Incubator hosts a monthly meet-up for women who are interested in leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship and business.

Topic: Dispute Resolution 101
Disputes are a natural part of business and life. However, there can serious costs associated with disputes - stress, lost productivity, poor performing teams, expensive legal fees and broken relationships. In this presentation, Cecily will draw on her experience as a mediator to share some of her best tips and tricks for resolving disputes which will help all entrepreneurs on their business journey.

The event is open to everyone – staff, students, externals.

We meet on the first Friday of every month.
