Something Needs to Change. But What?

Have you been thinking something needs to change in your work or life, but you’re not quite sure what or where to start? Maybe you’re unhappy in your current job, considering a career change, or simply questioning whether the path you’re on is still right for you. Join Joti, founder of Kynara Collective, for a relaxed conversation over a drink with others who may be navigating similar questions. There’s no presentation, structured programme or sales pitch. Just an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, talk about what’s on your mind, explore possibilities and perhaps see things from a different perspective. You don’t need to have a plan or even know exactly what you want to change. Where: Near Circular Quay. Venue to be provided to those who register. When: Thursday, from 5:30 pm Cost: Free to attend. Simply purchase your own drinks.

Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity

We live in a world where bad news travels fast, fear grabs our attention, and negativity has had decades to occupy our mental real estate. What if, for once, we turned the tables? What if we flooded our surroundings with so much goodness that it became impossible not to know it, feel it, and be it? Welcome to "Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity" where we take our best finds and see what happens when we broadcast it on everyone around us. This isn't about pretending life is perfect or forcing ourselves to be happy. It's about deliberately creating hope for hope's sake, then seeing what happens when this new energy gives people permission to flourish, heal, and become positivity beacons themselves. Expect more expressions of goodness than you've ever experienced packed into 3 hours. Some of you will immediately know you need this right now as you read this invitation. Others might not realise how much they've needed it until afterwards because sometimes, the busyness of life gets in the way of noticing, appreciating and sharing good news. Because positivity isn't just something we can cultivate within ourselves. It's something we can give and multiply... **Who is this for?** * anyone surrounded by toxic environments or negative people * those who need to communicate optimism and convince others to embrace positivity, whether professionally or as a business owner * people who would benefit from connecting with a diverse network of humans working to make the world a better place in different fields **What will happen?** * exercises to discover what brings people to life and learn what makes each other tick * team challenges that turn feelings of joy, awe and ecstasy into expressions of goodness for others to experience * simulations to explore and practice the power of words, thus honing in awareness of how the way we communicate matters a lot **What will you get out of it?** * leave very, very, very positive about yourself and others * learn techniques and tools to make positivity feel more natural and become your new default * gain a greater appreciation of your own influence in the world 🎟️ This is a ticketed event.

How to Choose Your Next Job in 2027

# How to Choose Your Next Job in 2027 [Register for the free webinar](https://jracademy.ai/events/6af576eb049074f7c21c86b1) **Presented by Lightman Wang \| Understand what’s changing in Australia’s job market and prepare for your next move while you’re still employed** **If your team is restructured next year, which companies and roles would be within reach with the résumé you have today?** Rent, mortgage payments and everyday bills keep coming. When it’s time to change jobs, you’ll want to know which roles you can apply for now, how long it might take to replace your income, and what opportunities your experience could open up. Working that out while you’re still employed gives you time to be selective and build the experience you need. Lightman will cover the changes worth watching in Australia’s job market in 2027, then help you compare three options. You could move internally, do similar work at a different company, or step into a new role where your existing experience gives you a head start. ## 🔎 What’s changing in Australia’s job market in 2027? **Some teams are shrinking, while employers are still struggling to fill certain roles.** Qantas expects organisational changes to affect around 850 roles over the next few years, with the first changes expected in mid-2027. Jobs and Skills Australia’s 2026 figures show that the share of occupations assessed as being in shortage fell nationally from 29% to 27%. Shortages persist in healthcare, early childhood education and some construction trades. When weighing your options, look at what those trends mean for **your city, the specific role and the requirements to get hired**. **The same job title can come with different day-to-day work.** In operations, for example, AI can help organise feedback and draft weekly reports. Someone on the team still has to work out what’s causing the problem, what to fix first and whether the change worked. In November 2026, Reserve Bank of Australia researchers noted that evidence of widespread disruption from AI in Australia’s labour market remained limited. Look at the tasks you do each day and ask **which ways of working are changing and which outcomes you’re still responsible for**. ## 🧭 Should you move internally, change companies or switch roles? Start by working out how much take-home pay you need each month and how much time you can set aside for a job search. Then look at where your existing experience would count. * **Look for an internal move.** If another team does work you know well, see if you can contribute to a project or ask what it takes to transfer. * **Do similar work at a different company.** Find a few ads in your city at your level. Compare responsibilities, pay and contract types, then identify which results from your current work you can talk about in an interview. * **Move into a related role.** If you’ve worked in customer support and also handled onboarding, training and issue follow-up, look at customer success or implementation roles. Use real job ads to identify any gaps and see whether you can fill them in your current role. ## 📌 What can you do over the next four weeks while you’re still employed? * **Week 1** — Write down the minimum income you can accept. Find one role you could apply for now and one you’d like to work towards. * **Weeks 2–3** — Pick a project you’ve worked on and document a result that matches a requirement in the job ad. For example, record what the client signed off on or calculate how much time a process change saved your team each week. * **Week 4** — Add that result to your résumé and apply for a few roles that fit, or use it to start a conversation with an internal team. Use the feedback to decide what experience to build next. ## 💻 If you work in tech, how do you choose between AI Engineer and FDE? Lightman will use these two roles to show how the same approach applies to a technical career move. * **AI Engineer** — An Australian Accenture job ad includes building generative AI applications, evaluating their performance, and deploying and maintaining systems. If you’ve worked in backend, full-stack, data or cloud engineering, look at how your experience with integration, testing and deployment matches the role. * **Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)** — Alongside engineering, the role involves working directly with customers to clarify requirements, get systems live and track how they perform in practice. OpenAI’s Sydney role asks for at least five years of engineering or technical deployment experience, including customer-facing work. If you’ve worked in technical consulting or implementation, pick a project you took from requirements through to customer sign-off and compare it with the job ad. **Indicative annual base salaries for senior permanent roles in Australia** | City | AI / ML Engineer | Forward Deployed Engineer | | ---- | ---------------- | ------------------------- | | Brisbane | A$160,000–A$200,000 | A$160,000–A$215,000 | | Melbourne | A$175,000–A$210,000 | A$175,000–A$230,000 | | Sydney | A$180,000–A$220,000 | A$180,000–A$240,000 | Source — Re:Sourced’s 2026 salary guide. The ranges show the 25th to 75th percentiles of accepted offers for senior permanent roles. ## 👥 Who should attend? * People working in Australia who want to understand how their industry or role is changing and prepare for their next move. * Anyone considering a new employer, an internal transfer or a change of direction who wants to work out what they can afford and how much time they’ll need to prepare. * Engineers, data professionals, consultants and delivery specialists who want to see whether an AI-related role fits their experience. ## 👨‍💻 Speaker **Lightman Wang \| Founder of JR Academy** ## 🗓️ Event details * **When** — 17 November, 8:00–9:00 pm Sydney time * **Format** — Free live online webinar ## 🎟️ Bring a job ad you’d like to apply for Bring a job ad you’ve saved recently and work through it with Lightman. **Can you apply for this role now? Which experience should you highlight on your résumé?

We'll have: * Friendly introductions and opportunities to meet other women. * A simple introduction to Ikigai. * Guided activities to help you explore your interests and strengths. * Conversations about the value of your skills and ways to charge for what you offer. * Time to share ideas, ask questions and learn from one another. You can participate at your own comfort level.

Sydney Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience

**Tired of dating apps and conversations that go nowhere?** **What if meeting new people could actually feel good again?** When we started Conscious Connections, I interviewed hundreds of people about dating and connection. And I kept hearing the same things: *"I'm tired of swiping and having the same conversations over and over."* *"I just want to meet someone I can have a real connection with."* *"Dating feels so superficial these days."* *"I'm exhausted by dating apps. I want to meet people in real life."* Underneath all those frustrations was the same longing: to meet people we can be ourselves with. To laugh, feel at ease, have meaningful conversations, and discover where a genuine connection might lead. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. Two hours that give you energy instead of taking it. Playful, warm, alive. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, honest and real again. 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗦𝗩𝗣. 👉 $59 to book your place, and hear from people who've been: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Each booking is a place in our monthly Relational Lab. Your session date, time and Zoom link arrive by email within 24 hours. Booking close to a session? Go for it. We'll do our best to place you in it, or you'll join the following one. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗔𝗕? A guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction. Less performance. Less pressure. Far less small talk. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂. It's a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness and real-world human connection, made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦 \- Two hours of live\, guided connection games from your own couch \- Cameras on\, everyone present: you laugh\, play\, move and engage \- Facilitated in real time by Eloah\, with 15 years of experience\, and shaped around whoever is there \- An optional in\-person gathering afterward for those who join the session\, where applicable \- A WhatsApp thread to stay connected\, where applicable 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨 \- The felt experience of being fully yourself with people you just met \- Relational tools you carry into dates\, friendships\, family and every room you walk into \- For some\, new friends\, a whole new circle\, even a partner\. We've seen all of it grow from here\. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗕𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗜𝗙 \- You value growth\, and you want it to feel good\, fun and playful \- You'd rather experience something than just consume more content \- You're craving social spaces with more depth \- You want deeper connection without forced intimacy \- You're open to meeting people in a more intentional way 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗦𝗞 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? For 2 hours, you step into a parallel world where strangers stop feeling like strangers. We play connection games designed to drop the small talk, meet our common humanity, and exhale into the ease of being yourself with others. For some, it's the first time they've ever felt this. You're in control at all times, choosing your edges: playful and light, or bold and deep. Often, the lighter we play, the deeper it gets. We've seen people make lifelong friends, meet partners, even heal their relationship with a parent. It isn't therapy. It's what becomes possible when a space is held this well. 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲? Neither would we, if the only calls we'd been on were meetings that drag on or webinars where someone talks at you. This is the opposite. Everyone's camera is on, everyone's playing, and you feel connected within minutes. Facilitated with mastery, online is as powerful as being in the room. We know, because we've run both for years. You come exactly as you are, from your own couch, with no outfit, no commute and no awkward entrance. Most people leave lighter than they arrived. 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻? After the online session, you're invited to an optional gathering in person, where applicable. It's your chance to practice what you've learned out in the world, without the small talk. Eloah chooses the place and time with care, based on who was present, the weather, what's happening in the city that day, and sometimes what the group discovered about each other's passions and hobbies. 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? The tools are yours for life. You'll notice them on your next date, in your next hard conversation, at your next dinner with friends. People come back months later and tell us how differently they now walk into a room. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘀? Dating apps are a tool. Connection games are a tool, too. What matters is how they're designed, how we use them, and the intention we bring. Here, you're among people who chose to show up with curiosity and a genuine desire to connect. Instead of trying to impress someone through a profile or a string of messages, you experience one another in real time. You discover how people listen, laugh, express themselves, navigate vulnerability and respond to others. And you get to notice how you feel in their presence. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴? It's slow dating, and the long game is the shortcut. Instead of pairing you up, rotating you and praying for chemistry, most games are played with everyone together, so you meet each other as humans first. Many people leave with new friends, some with a whole new circle, and if more develops over time, it grows from a solid foundation. On a first date, people show their best face. Here, you see the full face, and your chances of falling for a real, imperfect human are much higher. 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁? This is a connection-to-self-first space. Many people who ask this have had experiences where things got sexual or romantic too fast, and it felt forced. Sexual energy is one of the most powerful energies there is, and it deserves respect. Here, you connect to all of yourself first, and then to others as whole people. You learn relational frameworks you can play as gently or as boldly as you choose. Some people arrive mending a broken heart, unsure they even want to date again. Others arrive ready for something wild and alive. Nothing is pushed on you, and you move at your own pace. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀? People who want more depth in how they meet others. Some are new to the city and rebuilding their circle. Some are coming out of a long relationship and wondering where to start. Many have full, busy lives and still want more. Plenty are introverts who would never walk into a bar mixer. What they share: curiosity, an open heart and readiness to meet their equals. 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲? Sessions are open to every adult age, so who's there changes from month to month. What people share is readiness for real connection, and that tends to matter far more than a birth year. Many say their most surprising connection was with someone they'd never have swiped on, or who would never have swiped on them. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲? Groups are kept small by design, so you're never just watching a screen full of talking heads. Connection deepens when there's room for every voice. This is also where you meet your city's introverts: you thought you knew everyone, and they've been hiding. If you happen to be the only one on the day, it becomes a private 1:1 session with Eloah, normally $319, at no extra cost to you. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 $𝟱𝟵? You're investing in an experience most people never have, held by a facilitator with 15 years of experience. One game, one moment, can change the trajectory of your life. We keep it as affordable as possible so this glimpse of what's possible can reach everyone. We tend to overestimate the cost of doing something, and underestimate the cost of not doing it. Each session takes its own shape with whoever is present. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘁. Free to RSVP. 👉 $59 to book your place: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)
