We often have the idea of a perfect job and end up dissatisfied when our expectations are not met. The reality is that no job is ideal, but we can help create a satisfying one. If you are looking to increase your job satisfaction, you will learn about the five elements of staying happy at work. If you are currently searching for a new role or are in the midst of a career change, which is never an easy and stress-free experience and can be tough on our mental health at the best of times, you will learn how to stay motivated and confident during this period.

We are so excited for our next supper circle, joined by our fantastic guest speaker, Nikki Swan! Enjoy a three-course dinner as we dive into when is the right time to change your career, what practical actions you can take before you change careers to find the right fit, and tips on what you can do now to feel more fulfilled day to day. And of course, meet and dine with like-minded, ambitious, professional women!

This networking event is for LIFFT members and supporters to (re)connect with each other, and with LIFFT.

Join this highly interactive session with Nikki over a dinner and drinks to focus on how to improve your wellbeing, professionally and personally, and meet and dine with like-minded professional women.

In this talk, Collette Philip, brand strategist, founder and passionate advocate for social justice will share her experiences and tips on how to drive change from within - even if you feel like your voice doesn't count or you are too small to make a difference. Anita Roddick said 'If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room.'. This talk is all about how to be more mosquito - especially when it comes to the biggest global issues of our time.

Storytelling is the holy grail of career advancement when you tell your story in a way that genuinely connects with others. Why? Your career success depends on other people, and we do business (internally & externally) with the people we relate to, identify with, and trust.

We all have a personal brand. Our brand can be how we talk, what we wear, and even what we affiliate ourselves to (like causes). Your personal brand is synonymous with your reputation.

Better managers can really make a difference in people’s lives. When we have great bosses they nurture us, challenge us and support us.

She will touch on accidental managers and what to do if you have one, or feel you could be one amongst other tangible tips and takeaways!

We are excited to welcome Professor Gillian Ku, whose award-winning teaching focuses on negotiations, to host a personal development masterclass teaser on Negotiations and Women.

In the session, to create a shared learning experience that can have an immediate positive impact on you as an individual, she will share with us research on how gender affects negotiations, how to prepare for negotiations, how to grow the pie, and how to claim some of that pie for oneself.

What better way to celebrate our rebrand and new network status than a champagne reception party!?
