When the going gets tough, great leaders get going. Our ever-popular Women in Tax series of events is back, kicking off with Leading from trials to triumph sessions held in each capital city around Australia.

The fundamental skills of leadership such as resilience, a strong sense of self and adaptability are vital for success in your career – whether you’re leading teams, your own practice, or taking the lead on your own career development. And according to Harvard Business School, women in leadership positions were considered more effective than their counterparts in 84% of frequently measured leadership competencies. They excel at skills including:

  • taking initiative
  • acting with resilience
  • practicing self-development
  • driving for results
  • and displaying high integrity and honesty

In this series of keynotes, lunches and networking experiences, you’ll connect with the leading ladies of the tax profession and beyond – leaders who have embraced the skills of authentic leadership to be where they are today.

Registration is open to everyone – regardless of gender. Will we see you there?

Join Karen Livey, who has spent the last 30 years immersed in leadership, as she unpacks ways you can build your resilience muscles and rewire your thinking patterns in tough times. Karen will look at emotional triggers from a neuroscience perspective and help you develop the ability to recognise their impact on your career.

"People are made to be resilient. Some people manage better than others, particularly during times of high levels of uncertainty. Being able to understand why uncertainty brings on angst will make it easier to ‘tame’ the emotions and be more resilient," Karen said.



Key takeaways for delegates will include insights on how to:

  • Manage uncertainty to diminish its impact
  • Use all emotions to gain positive traction
  • Recognise the power of quiet
  • Choose your mindset
  • Know how to rewire your thinking patterns
