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

Thu, Oct 22, 6:30 AM

From Tech Leading Ladies

From Meditation on Twin Hearts & Free Pranic Healing Clinic

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.

No slides, just questions: • What building with AI on the side has changed about how he thinks about engineering at seek • What's been tried, what's worked and what hasn't • Where it's hardest: people, process or tooling • The experiments he's most excited to run next • His advice to other leaders **About James** James has spent about half of his four decades in tech as a programmer and tech lead, and the other half as a senior manager and leader across startups, scale-ups and corporates.

Becoming Zen with CSS

Thu, Oct 29, 6:30 AM

From Women Coders (Melbourne)

From The Entrepreneur Club (Melbourne)

From tables, to floats, to flex, to grid, from Bootstrap to Tailwind to CSS modules and more, CSS has evolved and changed a lot over the years. Whether creating a design system or just trying to center a button, CSS is a powerful and often misunderstood part of software development. In this session we will go back to basics, learning the fundamentals of CSS and applying them in your very own CSS Zen Garden project. CSS Zen Garden was introduced in 2013, all designs start with the same HTML file and rely on just the power of CSS to make unique and eye catching designs. No experience with CSS or HTML or code is required. Participation requires minimal set up as it has been designed to empower everyone to create an entry by the end of the session that is unique to them. **Agenda:** 5:30 - 6:00 Networking 6:00 - 7:00 Workshop 7:00 - 7:30 Networking **Sponsors:** This event is sponsored by Stile Education. Thanks for empowering women and allies to excel in their technology careers 💙

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

Fri, Oct 23, 11:30 PM

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

From Melbourne KMLF

From The Growth Cafe: Build Connection. Build Business. Build You

This year we are making the fun and learning more interactive with two new games built just for KM Week and aimed at not just knowledge managers, but business leaders and MBA graduates too. The games and conversations will go for around an hour and you can sign up for either or both games at the links below. Choose your preferred time on the form. We can't wait to see you there. Register for **[Performance Gap ](https://forms.gle/iwTWcSjz2kLuapLX8)** Register for [Pitch Perfect](https://forms.gle/FxGhU6cWVu5wCFWF9) We have two new simulations for us all to take part in. **Pitch Perfect** is all about learning to pitch KM initiatives to a client or board. This is a critical skill and even if you just pick up 2 or 3 tips they will benefit you in your work. The second game is the **Performance Gap game**. Good KM leads to improved capability. Not managing your knowledge leaves performance on the table. A performance gap. This simulation lets you run your own business. The first three rounds reveal the knowledge lens and River diagram to you. After that decide how you will make the most of your team's expertise. Will you focus on experts, or spread the knowledge, its your call. [This short video will give you an overview](https://youtu.be/E3WraliITdY). Follow the links below to register. **Session Details:** **Pitch Perfect** Oct 19\, Monday\, 1100 UTC \| 10 PM AEST Oct 21\, Wednesday\, 0900 UTC \| 8 PM AEST **Performance Gap Game** Oct 20\, Tuesday\, 1100 UTC \| 10 PM AEST Oct 23\, Friday\, 0900 UTC \| 8 PM AEST **About KMLF** KMLF has run monthly, almost uninterrupted since 1998, serving the Victorian Knowledge Management community with close ties to Change Mgt, Records Mgt, Information Governance and Academic communities.
