Women in Leardership Summit 2024

Alice Tai, our Senior Consultant had the opportunity to attend this year’s Women Leaders Institute , held con-currently across all major capitals in Australia as well as Wellington, NZ.

Back in August, Pacific People Solutions‘ Marketing Manager Rani Fouladoux compiled a list of potential networking opportunities, and this Summit stood out as one that would be impactful. Alice realized that as she met the scholarship criteria – being linguistically (English, Mandarin, Taiwanese, Japanese) diverse, she could in fact apply for the scholarship.
A week prior to the event, Alice was delighted to find out that she was chosen amongst a select few women to attend the hashtag#womeninleadership Summit 2024 💜
✨ A big shout-out to the organisers Elizabeth Lie and the many people behind the scenes to make this event a truly memorable one!

Key highlights: 🖋️

💡the engaging MCs Chiou See Anderson and Dr Diana Tolmie, whose anecdotes served as delightful spritzers 🍹 between the fireside keynote speakers, and showed their depth of leadership, profound experience and courage in their respected industries.
💡 Virgin Australia CEO Jayne Hrdlicka’s opening address to the audience detailed how she navigated to her current height in the corporate sphere, taking pointed feedback, and sharp prioritisation tactics to lead with care 🙏
💡 Ariarne Titmus – 4-time Olympic gold medalist had an inspiring story ✨️ 💛 she spoke like she cut through the water, detailing her unwavering determination, never having imposter syndrome, and got the job done at the Paris Olympics! 🏊‍♀️
💡topics discussed ranged from ‘Setting Boundaries’ (defined as a rule one sets for oneself for the sake of your health and wellbeing), Leadership styles – Democratic vs Hierarchical vs Transformational, and that, it is by looking inward first does effective leadership happen.👩‍🔬
There were many connections and friendships forged, and Alice says she’ll be at the event again in 2025!
