Pre-Summit Workshop 15 June 2015
9.00 - 4.30
Emotional Agility and Resilience - Managing Your Inner Team
Working in emotionally charged contexts is the reality for most leaders - whether it be pressure to compete for business, collaborating within
key relationships, building high performance teams or retaining talent pools. Yet few leaders really understand how to manage the psychological
mechanisms that play out in the workplace to genuinely bring the best of themselves and their people to work.
In fact, many leaders apply untested assumptions about the human experience and as a result, create cultures that limit rather than facilitate peak
performance. The experience of women leaders in the finance and banking sector is a case in point. Significant under-representation of women
leaders at senior levels combined with the human propensity to interact with others of the same gender, have led to a paucity of female role models
and limited access to influential networks and sponsors. Added to this challenge is the double bind facing many high potential women: the mismatch
between conventionally feminine qualities and the capabilities assumed necessary for successful leadership.
Why focus on emotional agility and resilience? Research in the fields of neuroscience, neurobiology and human development provide convincing
evidence of the impact of a leader’s psychological flexibility on their capacity to achieve challenging performance targets and build influence with
stakeholders. This masterclass will provide practical resources to:
• Help navigate organisational, cultural or social barriers to building profile and expanding networks,
• Provide insight and understanding of how your ‘internal dialogue’ can limit your capacity for resilience, and
• Create a safe space to identify role models whose styles and behaviours you can observe and experiment with to integrate with your own strengths
and values.
Rather than attempting to train women to be more like men, this experience is aimed at equipping the banking and finance sector’s female talent
pool to internalise and celebrate their leadership identities and become more mindful leaders and role models.
This highly interactive, experiential workshop aims to help you to:
• Normalise and share the experiences of women navigating leadership careers in Banking and Finance
• Build access to networks and genuine sponsors
• Uncover and capitalise on unique strengths
• Advance a sense of purpose to internalise leadership identity and build profile
• Build awareness of inner dialogue and what it takes to develop emotional agility and resilience

Build resilience through cultivating relationships
with your inner team
Creating a thriving workplace culture characterised by
healthy relationships, strong results and a resilient mindset
is the ultimate challenge for today’s leader. Yet many leaders
unwittingly neglect to manage the complex psychological
mechanisms that play out in the workplace and accordingly
sabotage their efforts to become mindful and authentic role
models. In this highly interactive session, Kerryn will provide
insights into how advances in neuroscience and recent
discoveries in psychology are revolutionising our capacity to
manage the internal dialogue that can undermine our potential
to be self aware, self-assured and resilient leaders. Illustrates:
• How your relationship with your inner team can limit your
capacity for resilience
• The importance of emotional agility for cultivating a thriving
workplace
• Practical resources to more effectively manage your inner team.

Leadership war stories – Scaling the heights and

Career planning in banking and Financial Services is a long-
term occupation, and the road to success places surprising
pressures on aspiring and emerging leaders. Change is the
only constant, and while it is vital to set your own leadership

steps and road blocks, and embrace the unexpected. This

challenges, game-changers and the gravity of resilience in a
changing corporate environment. Discussion will cover:
• The real challenges, obstacles and opportunities on the

2.20 - 3.00 EXPERT COMMENTARY
Women’s leadership isn’t a diversity issue, it’s a
business issue
Despite making up more than half the workforce in the banking and
Financial Services sector, women are still vastly underrepresented
in senior executive roles and experience a gender pay gap of as
much as 31.9%. Up-and-coming women making the move into
senior leadership still face systemic challenges and unconscious
bias when it comes to achieving parity in both participation and
pay. In this expert skills session, Pollyanna tackles gender diversity
from a business perspective, delivering practical strategies and
tools to take control of the conversation and achieve influence and
success at an executive level. Explore:
• Effective communication traits of successful leaders
• Identify and develop inherent strengths to build positive
culture and engagement
• Tips for advocating behavioural change supporting
sustainable business results
