Career Transitions Melbourne

As a quiet woman leader, it's not always easy to find others who understand the challenges of being a quiet achiever trying to perform and be visible in an extrovert-biased workplace. Our monthly walk + talk is an opportunity to combine meaningful conversation (with low or no small talk!) with time in nature + movement (which are mood enhancers and so good for mental health). **WHAT YOU GAIN:** * Share what it's like being a quiet woman leader * Supportively listen to others' stories * Share knowledge, wisdom, resources * Make new friends! * Learn and grow together * Expand your professional network * Gain new ideas and perspectives * Gain courage, inspiration, and motivation **ITINERARY** * 11am: Meet at the entrance of the visitor information centre. * If the weather is fine, we will go for a walk around Fitzroy Gardens. * If it gets wet, we will meet inside KereKere Green Cafe, next to the visitor information centre. * The event finishes at 12.30pm. **GETTING THERE:** The closest train stations are Jolimont and Parliament. **COST:** There is an organizer fee of $5.00 for this event. PayID 0403 413 056 (Serena Low). **COMMUNITY GUIDELINES:** * To keep the activity introvert-friendly, I am capping the number at 8 so it's not overwhelming and everyone gets to talk to at least one person. * We are responsible for the energy we bring. * Come with a heart to give - not just to gain. * Honour your own social battery - if it gets overwhelming for any reason, just say "Thanks, but I have to go now" - and leave. No need for long explanations or apologies. We are all introverts and some of us also have sensory overwhelm, are highly sensitive, have chronic fatigue or social anxiety, or are neurodivergent etc. We get it.

Capability ≠ Capacity: What I wish I’d known about neurodivergence leading tech

Thu, Oct 22, 6:30 AM

From Tech Leading Ladies

Capability ≠ Capacity: What I wish I’d known about my neurodivergent brain when I was leading in tech I was diagnosed ADHD and autistic at 41, following severe burnout at the peak of my career in technology leadership, transformation and digital delivery. I was clearly capable of doing complex work. What I didn’t understand was why things that seemed like they should be easy could sometimes require an enormous amount of effort. In this talk, I’ll explore some of the less visible things that use our capacity at work — and how this helps us to find the right strategies to work sustainably as a neurodivergent leader. **Agenda (time in Melbourne/AEST)** * 5:30pm Networking * 6:00pm Welcome * 6:05pm Main Presentation * 6:35pm Q&A * 7:00pm Networking * 7:30pm Close **This will be a HYBRID event:** **Zoom link -** will be posted 1hr before event starts. **Our Speaker** **Ani Møller** Ani Møller is a neurodivergent leadership coach and ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) who works exclusively with neurodivergent leaders. Before becoming a coach, Ani worked in technology, transformation and digital delivery, including as an Executive Director leading large teams and multi-million-dollar programs. They were diagnosed ADHD and autistic at 41 following severe burnout, and subsequently trained as an ADHD coach. Their work now brings together lived experience, coaching and decades of leadership and transformation experience to help neurodivergent leaders understand how they work and build more sustainable ways of working and leading.

Women at the Table

Fri, Oct 16, 11:00 PM

Just women, conversation, stories, laughter and connection. **Women at the Table** is a relaxed café gathering for women 40+ navigating the changes, questions and possibilities of this chapter of life + from perimenopause and menopause to career, relationships, identity, purpose and what comes next. Come if you’re figuring things out. Come if you’re reinventing yourself. Come if you simply want to meet some new women. Bring your story, your curiosity or absolutely nothing at all. This is a space to **share, listen, be witnessed, make connections and discover that you’re not the only one navigating this territory.** You’re also welcome to share what you do, promote your business, offer recommendations or make professional connections. This is **your table** and we want women to support women. Come once. Come regularly. Come for the conversation. **Pull up a chair.

📚 #InPursuit – A Book Club for Builders, Thinkers, and Doers

Fri, Oct 23, 11:30 PM

From The Entrepreneur Club (Melbourne)

4.5

📚 #InPursuit is a book club for entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious minds who know personal growth fuels business growth. **See a lot of RSPVPs and wonder how it works? We'll break up into groups of 6-8 to share our insights, then swap groups after 30-45min so you can maximise learning from everybody!** *Note: this even is not organised by or affiliated with The State Library of Victoria* **That's what #InPursuit is all about** It’s not a traditional book club, it’s a space for people who are actively designing a better life through the pursuit of business, creativity, and personal growth. This event is for anyone #InPursuit of better business, life and relationships. Instead of reading the same book, we each come prepared to share one powerful insight from something we’ve read in the past 3-months. Anything non-fiction that’s moved us forward. Whether it’s a mindset shift, a productivity system, a new philosophy, or just a truth that punched us in the gut. This is a place to unpack it together and hear what others are learning too. We’re not just here to *read*. We’re here to *integrate*. Because when we grow, our business and our lives grow too. **🔍 Why Join? You'll leave with:** * 5–10 fresh insights from books you may never have picked up * Deeper awareness of how others think, lead, and evolve * New connections with people walking a similar path toward purpose, results, and impact This isn’t a lecture. It’s a room full of people building themselves while they build the thing. **📖 How It Works** First time? No pressure to share, just come curious. We'll break up into groups of 6-8 and share our insights, then swap groups so you can maximise the learning! Returning? Bring one idea you’ve read about in the last 3-months and be ready to speak on: 1. What did you learn? 2. How did it shift your perspective about the world or yourself? 3. How has it changed the way you show up or behave? We keep it structured, but flexible. After sharing, we open up to Q&A, personal stories, challenges, and deep dives. Some of the best insights come from the conversations *after* the share. **🧠 Who This Is For** * Entrepreneurs or side-hustlers finding their footing * Business owners, and doers building toward better * Curious minds who love ideas but care more about action * People tired of shallow conversations and hungry for growth If you’re working on something—or becoming someone—this space is for you. It’s a practice ground for people who want to grow forward. We’re all #InPursuit of mastery, momentum, and the kind of success that starts from within. **Map on how to get there** We're in the Create Quarter on the ground level (back right of the Quad as you enter from Swanson St). We'll likely be on a long table together. https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/SLV-EnglishMap_Jan25.pdf

Introducing **Living the Circle**, a five-part awareness series exploring the circular economy. For our first session, **Circular Economy INSIDE**, we’ll explore what a circular economy really means, why it matters and how it connects to our everyday lives. I’m delighted to co-facilitate this series with Osh, a sustainability professional with a Master’s in Sustainability from Deakin University and a research background in circular economy and food waste management. This isn’t about sitting through a lecture! Expect relaxed conversations, interactive activities, questions, a few games and plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas, expand our thinking and learn from each other. 🌱 To keep the conversation interactive places are limited to around 20 people. 📍 **Meeting Point:** Au79 Café, Abbotsford ☕ **Plan for the afternoon** * **1:00 pm** \| Arrival\, food and drink orders\, and casual introductions * **1:30 pm** \| Fun\, interactive activity * **2:00 pm** \| Group discussion and sharing ideas * **3:00 pm** \| Wrap\-up To support the venue, please purchase a coffee and/or something to eat. 😊 📸 A few photos may be taken for community sharing.

Presenting - 'Manager v Leader', Kennedy, Luther King...

Thu, Oct 15, 7:15 AM

From Girls Who Boss - Melbourne

Smashing! Try something new Thursday Interactive reality workshops- Tonight get involved and have some fun. Tonight we study and learn unique stage styles and techniques of world-class leaders. Be inspired by the styles & secrets of Barack Obama, J.F Kennedy and Martin Luther King etc Learn how to present as the Leader, rather than a manager Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just two member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and we can lose the energy/commercial feel. SmashSpeak's vibe's in the sweet spot." "At other clubs I used to listen to long speeches and lectures, here we get so many chances to talk every meeting, that we have to improve" **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, greater good focus, sharing the stage, etc Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, RED Room (End of corridor) More to come..
