Our Signature Keynotes are:

She Has the Courage to Lead

Inspired by Michelle’s high-profile podcast She Has the Courage to Lead, which features Ministers and Commissioners who are driving change across Australia. This keynote explores what courageous leadership looks like in practice, and what it takes to challenge the status quo, lead through change, create psychologically safe cultures and turn leadership into meaningful action. Michelle shares powerful insights and lessons from the leaders she has interviewed, encouraging audiences to think differently about leadership, courage, accountability and the change they can create. Especially for women at work.

The Elephant in the Room

The Elephant in the Room brings the realities of women at work into the conversation, challenging organisations to look beyond policies and ask what women are actually experiencing in their workplaces. Drawing on Michelle’s expertise in workplace safety, wellbeing and culture, the keynote explores issues including psychosocial hazards, bullying, harassment, discrimination, psychological safety, workplace culture, leadership and the challenges women face in traditionally male-dominated workplaces. The keynote asks the questions that organisations cannot afford to ignore: Are women truly safe, respected and heard at work? Find out more here
