9.00 - 4.30 Unlocking Your Leadership Potential - Understanding the importance of Confidence and Self-Awareness In order to be a successful leader, confidence in your abilities and communication style are essential. Finding your confidence, however, is challenging for many leading their team through constant transformation and change. They must instil confidence and radiate capability, even when faced with challenges they have no fool-proof solution for. This becomes increasingly challenging for those dealing with unconscious bias in the workplace. Many must deal with Imposter Syndrome and struggle to acknowledge their value in organisational success, creating numerous difficulties in handling common scenarios, from confidently leading teams through crises to negotiating their way up the corporate ladder. This interactive workshop will focus on developing awareness in leaders to identify and acknowledge their abilities, in order to maximise their leadership potential and thereby successfully recognise it in others. It will provide practical tools and focus on developing essential communication skills and the courage needed to overcome difficulties when rising to reach your leadership potential. Understanding yourself to understand others • Recognise your strengths and weaknesses • Identifying qualities and abilities in your team • Managing others through managing yourself Overcoming Imposter Syndrome • Identify your value: both as an individual and within your organisation • Becoming confident and trusting your competence • Getting acknowledged and valued Making brave decisions in a fast-paced environment • Finding your courage to take strategic risks • Developing resilience to support courage • Driving the organisational direction and inspiring your team Promoting yourself graciously • Negotiation skills: communicating your way forward • Communicating with impact to different audiences • Structuring difficult conversations to address challenges and unconscious bias Expert Facilitator: Rebecca Morris Leadership Coach Paradigm Shift As one of New Zealand’s leading experts on shifting performance in business through sustainable change Rebecca believes mindset, conviction and personal accountability are critical to business success regardless of size or industry.

This presents a multitude of obstacles in itself, let alone one faced internally as one of the few women, if not the only one, at the boardroom table. Learning to assert yourself can be a challenge, and encountering unconscious bias is likely inevitable in traditionally male-dominated industries. Even so, it is essential to remain positive and resilient when progressing in your career. Finding mentors, seizing opportunities and having the confidence in your abilities are key in succeeding as a leader. Renee will discuss: • Creating a positive working environment • Building your personal and professional brand • Navigating challenges • Seizing opportunities to rise in your career Renee Gamble Country Manager ANZ, Google for Work Google 9.40 - 9.50 Questions and Discussion 9.50 - 10.30 CASE STUDY Do women really have a higher EQ at work? Myths surrounding the gender bias of Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence or ‘EQ’ is essential to being a successful leader. Women tend to have higher EQ, but must find the balance between emotional and pragmatic approaches to their work. Recognising how to harness emotion productively can benefit us, our and teams and our organisation. However, a lack of self-confidence and apologising for our opinions can prevent progression to a higher level of leadership. Exploring how women can utilise resilience, bravery and decisiveness to overcome some of the challenges we create for ourselves at work, Nicole will discuss: • Harnessing emotion alongside pragmatism to overcome challenges • Building resilience and bravery to progress • Advocating yourself: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Nicole McInnes Director of Marketing, Australia eHarmony 10.30 - 10.40 Questions and Discussion 10.40 - 10.55 Morning Tea 10.55 - 11.45 INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION Encouraging women into the future digital workforce The Tech & Telco industries have traditionally carried the stigma of being a “boys’ club” career option, when in reality it is a rewarding and diverse career that many women are now embracing.

This panel will explore how to attract more women into our organisaitons and how to support their career advancement. Discuss: • Challenging traditional thinking to acquire a more diverse workforce • Creating networks to support women • The importance of ‘walking the talk’ - being a visible role model Aliza Knox Vice President of Asia Pacific Twitter Rachel Bondi Chief of Marketing and Operations, Australia Microsoft Susan Brown Managing Director, Australia Girls in Tech Sigal Pilli Chief Financial Officer Envato Heather Catchpole Co-founder and Head of Content Refraction Media 11.45 - 12.25 CASE STUDY From technician to strategist - Making the transition Seizing leadership opportunities within your organisation to move from your technical role to one of leading your team is a common challenge faced by women in the Tech & Telco industries.

Navigating obstacles to achieve leadership success Phone: +61 2 8239 9711 www.liquidlearning.com ABOUT THE EVENT The Tech & Telco industries are constantly shifting in line with the changing demands of their customers and cutting-edge technologies. Being a leader in this disruptive and dynamic environment requires adaptability, resilience and confidence in your abilities and foresight to keep your organisation ahead in the market. Although there is an increasing number of women in the Tech & Telco space, the majority of senior leadership positions are still held by men. Female leaders looking to progress in their career still encounter cultural and systemic challenges, which impacts self-belief in their value and abilities, especially when navigating the corporate ladder. The Tech & Telco environments demand an increasingly innovative workforce and to achieve this, more diversity in the senior leadership ranks is required. Leaders must build upon their natural strengths and seek to sharpen their skill set in order to stay relevant and effective. Whether it’s moving from a technical to a strategic role, or reinforcing core leadership skills to improve performance in your current role, a commitment to ongoing development and learning must be a focus in order to reach your potential. The Women in Tech & Telco Leadership Summit 2017 brings together a variety of leaders in the field to share their inspirational journeys, practical advice and insights. Due to demand, three panels with leaders in different roles have been included, along with expert commentaries and case studies. Delegates will have the opportunity to discuss and learn from executives in an interactive forum that is designed to equip participants with ideas and strategies to successfully lead their teams and progress in their careers. Take advantage of generous discounts and register teams of high potential leaders early to ensure your place at this outstanding event! • Techniques to push innovation and stay relevant in the market • Leading with influence and empowering your workforce • Building resilience to manage complexities Rebecca Morris Leadership Coach Paradigm Shift 3.05 - 3.15 Questions and Discussion 3.15 - 3.30 Afternoon Tea 3.30 - 4.30 INTERACTIVE CLOSING ROUNDTABLE Collaborative solutions - Taking the next step in your leadership career Reflecting on the multitude of ideas, practical tips and leadership journeys shared, this interactive closing roundtable will give delegates the opportunity to reflect and distill their own practical take-aways from this event.

Balancing and succeeding in both work and home life requires a pragmatic, efficient approach to achieving goals, supporting your team and supporting your family.

Bernice will discuss: • Strategies to set boundaries and manage expectations • Succeeding in a part-time, senior leadership position • Utilising your support network to leverage yourself into higher roles Bernice Muncaster Director of Marketing CSC 12.25 - 12.35 Questions and Discussion 12.35 - 1.35 Networking Lunch 1.35 - 2.25 INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION The female leader vs. the female boss The competition of achieving senior rank is fierce for women, especially in a male-dominated industry. This has led to the stigma of being hard, aggressive and ruthless as a female boss, in order to be taken seriously amongst other powerful personalities. Due to this, many women shy away from becoming the female boss, even though many studies prove that women make excellent, intuitive leaders. Discussing perceptions, experiences and practical tips, the panel will discuss: • Navigating the stigma of being a female boss • Assertive yourself without aggression • Strategies when dealing with a difficult boss or colleague Kirsty Hunter Managing Director Datacom Andrea Ingham Director of Sales ANZ Spotify Karina Keisler Executive General Manager, Corporate Affairs nbn Tiffany Wright Director, Commercial Sales ANZ Cisco Tanya Lord Director, Key Accounts Macquarie Telecom 2.25 - 3.05 EXPERT COMMENTARY Influential leadership in a disruptive environment The Tech & Telco industries are constantly shifting and evolving at a faster pace than ever before. This environment requires leaders to be able to cope and adapt with rapid organisational change, whilst pushing innovation in a transformational and often disruptive environment. Foresight, ambition and influential conversations are key in keeping your organisation competitive. With over 25 years of leadership, resilience and change management experience, particularly in improving mindsets, performing cultures and business processes, Rebecca will discuss:
9.00 - 4.30 Becoming Invaluable - Achieving your Potential through Impactful Leadership Existing and emerging leaders across the Tech & Telco space face many challenges, particularly as these industries are highly complex and constantly evolving. Thriving in the midst of ongoing industry-wide transformation requires strong leadership and refined management skills suited to leading diverse teams in a changing environment. Traditional approaches are often too static and not sufficient in equipping leaders to handle increasing globalisation, uncertainty and change. New, innovative and in-depth conversations must be had to develop the leaders of tomorrow. In order to progress to the next level, leaders must not only develop their authentic leadership brand, but navigate the corporate ladder, manage expectations and command respect through their presence. Strategic leadership for both your own development, as well as your organisational development, are essential when repositioning yourself as a successful senior leader. This practical workshop will provide attendees with the tools to enhance their leadership career and gain positive traction in their working environments. Through interactive discussions and hands-on practical activities, you will acquire and build on the key skills necessary to enhance leadership performance in the complex Tech & Telco industries.

Finding your confidence, however, is challenging for many leading their team through constant transformation and change. They must instil confidence and radiate capability, even when faced with challenges they have no fool-proof solution for. This becomes increasingly challenging for those dealing with unconscious bias in the workplace. Many must deal with Imposter Syndrome and struggle to acknowledge their value in organisational success, creating numerous difficulties in handling common scenarios, from confidently leading teams through crises to negotiating their way up the corporate ladder. This interactive workshop will focus on developing awareness in leaders to identify and acknowledge their abilities, in order to maximise their leadership potential and thereby successfully recognise it in others. It will provide practical tools and focus on developing essential communication skills and the courage needed to overcome difficulties when rising to reach your leadership potential. Understanding yourself to understand others • Recognise your strengths and weaknesses • Identifying qualities and abilities in your team • Managing others through managing yourself Overcoming Imposter Syndrome • Identify your value: both as an individual and within your organisation • Becoming confident and trusting your competence • Getting acknowledged and valued Making brave decisions in a fast-paced environment • Finding your courage to take strategic risks • Developing resilience to support courage • Driving the organisational direction and inspiring your team Promoting yourself graciously • Negotiation skills: communicating your way forward • Communicating with impact to different audiences • Structuring difficult conversations to address challenges and unconscious bias Expert Facilitator: Rebecca Morris Leadership Coach Paradigm Shift As one of New Zealand’s leading experts on shifting performance in business through sustainable change Rebecca believes mindset, conviction and personal accountability are critical to business success regardless of size or industry.

This presents a multitude of obstacles in itself, let alone one faced internally as one of the few women, if not the only one, at the boardroom table. Learning to assert yourself can be a challenge, and encountering unconscious bias is likely inevitable in traditionally male-dominated industries. Even so, it is essential to remain positive and resilient when progressing in your career. Finding mentors, seizing opportunities and having the confidence in your abilities are key in succeeding as a leader. Renee will discuss: • Creating a positive working environment • Building your personal and professional brand • Navigating challenges • Seizing opportunities to rise in your career Renee Gamble Country Manager ANZ, Google for Work Google 9.40 - 9.50 Questions and Discussion 9.50 - 10.30 CASE STUDY Do women really have a higher EQ at work? Myths surrounding the gender bias of Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence or ‘EQ’ is essential to being a successful leader. Women tend to have higher EQ, but must find the balance between emotional and pragmatic approaches to their work. Recognising how to harness emotion productively can benefit us, our and teams and our organisation. However, a lack of self-confidence and apologising for our opinions can prevent progression to a higher level of leadership. Exploring how women can utilise resilience, bravery and decisiveness to overcome some of the challenges we create for ourselves at work, Nicole will discuss: • Harnessing emotion alongside pragmatism to overcome challenges • Building resilience and bravery to progress • Advocating yourself: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Nicole McInnes Director of Marketing, Australia eHarmony 10.30 - 10.40 Questions and Discussion 10.40 - 10.55 Morning Tea 10.55 - 11.45 INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION Encouraging women into the future digital workforce The Tech & Telco industries have traditionally carried the stigma of being a “boys’ club” career option, when in reality it is a rewarding and diverse career that many women are now embracing. Nurturing and enabling the next generation of women into these industries requires top level executive commitment to diversity and a focus on supporting career progression for the long term. This panel will explore how to attract more women into our organisaitons and how to support their career advancement. Discuss: • Challenging traditional thinking to acquire a more diverse workforce • Creating networks to support women • The importance of ‘walking the talk’ - being a visible role model Aliza Knox Vice President of Asia Pacific Twitter Rachel Bondi Chief of Marketing and Operations, Australia Microsoft Susan Brown Managing Director, Australia Girls in Tech Sigal Pilli Chief Financial Officer Envato Heather Catchpole Co-founder and Head of Content Refraction Media 11.45 - 12.25 CASE STUDY From technician to strategist - Making the transition Seizing leadership opportunities within your organisation to move from your technical role to one of leading your team is a common challenge faced by women in the Tech & Telco industries.

Every leader must take risks, have courage and assert direction. This means taking charge of their own personal development, as well as their teams.

    Navigating obstacles toachieve leadership success Phone: +61 2 8239 9711 www.liquidlearning.com ABOUT THE EVENT The Tech & Telco industries are constantly shifting in line with the changing demands of their customers and cutting-edge technologies. Being a leader in this disruptive and dynamic environment requires adaptability, resilience and confidence in your abilities and foresight to keep your organisation ahead in the market. Although there is an increasing number of women in the Tech & Telco space, the majority of senior leadership positions are still held by men. Female leaders looking to progress in their career still encounter cultural and systemic challenges, which impacts self-belief in their value and abilities, especially when navigating the corporate ladder. The Tech & Telco environments demand an increasingly innovative workforce and to achieve this, more diversity in the senior leadership ranks is required. Leaders must build upon their natural strengths and seek to sharpen their skill set in order to stay relevant and effective. Whether it’s moving from a technical to a strategic role, or reinforcing core leadership skills to improve performance in your current role, a commitment to ongoing development and learning must be a focus in order to reach your potential. The Women in Tech & Telco Leadership Summit 2017 brings together a variety of leaders in the field to share their inspirational journeys, practical advice and insights. Due to demand, three panels with leaders in different roles have been included, along with expert commentaries and case studies. Delegates will have the opportunity to discuss and learn from executives in an interactive forum that is designed to equip participants with ideas and strategies to successfully lead their teams and progress in their careers. Take advantage of generous discounts and register teams of high potential leaders early to ensure your place at this outstanding event! • Techniques to push innovation and stay relevant in the market • Leading with influence and empowering your workforce • Building resilience to manage complexities Rebecca Morris Leadership Coach Paradigm Shift 3.05 - 3.15 Questions and Discussion 3.15 - 3.30 Afternoon Tea 3.30 - 4.30 INTERACTIVE CLOSING ROUNDTABLE Collaborative solutions - Taking the next step in your leadership career Reflecting on the multitude of ideas, practical tips and leadership journeys shared, this interactive closing roundtable will give delegates the opportunity to reflect and distill their own practical take-aways from this event.

Balancing and succeeding in both work and home life requires a pragmatic, efficient approach to achieving goals, supporting your team and supporting your family. This is increasingly challenging in an ever-changing, technological-focused industry, where multitasking, strategic planning and setting boundaries with 24 hour technology is essential. Bernice will discuss: • Strategies to set boundaries and manage expectations • Succeeding in a part-time, senior leadership position • Utilising your support network to leverage yourself into higher roles Bernice Muncaster Director of Marketing CSC 12.25 - 12.35 Questions and Discussion 12.35 - 1.35 Networking Lunch 1.35 - 2.25 INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION The female leader vs. the female boss The competition of achieving senior rank is fierce for women, especially in a male-dominated industry. This has led to the stigma of being hard, aggressive and ruthless as a female boss, in order to be taken seriously amongst other powerful personalities. Due to this, many women shy away from becoming the female boss, even though many studies prove that women make excellent, intuitive leaders. Discussing perceptions, experiences and practical tips, the panel will discuss: • Navigating the stigma of being a female boss • Assertive yourself without aggression • Strategies when dealing with a difficult boss or colleague Kirsty Hunter Managing Director Datacom Andrea Ingham Director of Sales ANZ Spotify Karina Keisler Executive General Manager, Corporate Affairs nbn Tiffany Wright Director, Commercial Sales ANZ Cisco Tanya Lord Director, Key Accounts Macquarie Telecom 2.25 - 3.05 EXPERT COMMENTARY Influential leadership in a disruptive environment The Tech & Telco industries are constantly shifting and evolving at a faster pace than ever before. This environment requires leaders to be able to cope and adapt with rapid organisational change, whilst pushing innovation in a transformational and often disruptive environment. Foresight, ambition and influential conversations are key in keeping your organisation competitive. With over 25 years of leadership, resilience and change management experience, particularly in improving mindsets, performing cultures and business processes, Rebecca will discuss:

    9.00 - 4.30 BecomingInvaluable - Achieving your Potential through Impactful Leadership Existing and emerging leaders across the Tech & Telco space face many challenges, particularly as these industries are highly complex and constantly evolving. Thriving in the midst of ongoing industry-wide transformation requires strong leadership and refined management skills suited to leading diverse teams in a changing environment. Traditional approaches are often too static and not sufficient in equipping leaders to handle increasing globalisation, uncertainty and change. New, innovative and in-depth conversations must be had to develop the leaders of tomorrow. In order to progress to the next level, leaders must not only develop their authentic leadership brand, but navigate the corporate ladder, manage expectations and command respect through their presence. Strategic leadership for both your own development, as well as your organisational development, are essential when repositioning yourself as a successful senior leader. This practical workshop will provide attendees with the tools to enhance their leadership career and gain positive traction in their working environments. Through interactive discussions and hands-on practical activities, you will acquire and build on the key skills necessary to enhance leadership performance in the complex Tech & Telco industries.
