“Shattering the glass ceiling in the Public Sector”
There is considerable evidence that women currently
tend to face a glass ceiling when trying to reach senior
management levels. Breaking that armoured barrier takes
focus, drive, and ambition. As Deputy Secretary, Amanda
has gone above and beyond and shattered the glass
ceiling. In this enthralling keynote session, Amanda will
share her journey towards leadership and the barriers she
faced when breaking the glass ceiling. She will draw on her
background to discuss:
• Overcoming barriers as a woman in a male-dominated 	
society
• Identifying opportunities and developing leadership 		
pathways
• Strategically seizing the right opportunities

“Driving organisational change from the front seat”
Any one in an organisation, no matter where they fall in
the organisational chart, can drive change if equipped
with the right tools and techniques to create effective
transformations within their teams. It can be extremely
difficult for individuals to change habits, so altering
organisational habits involving many individuals can be
much tougher. It takes a significant commitment and time
to achieve results, but the rewards can be much greater. As
Assistant Commissioner for Victorian Police, Debra realises
the effort it takes to buckle the seatbelt and drive change
from the front seat. She will discuss:
• Unlocking the resistance and obstacles that prevents 	
change
• Enabling improvement and innovation
• Tools for creating a functional and useful change in the 	
organisation

“Building a positive and thriving workplace
culture”
Negativity in the workplace not only demoralises
employees, but it also affects the bottom line. Even a subtle
hint of negativity can spoil an effective workplace. Leaders
should strive for the power to keep a positive mindset,
enhancing not only their own success, but the achievement
of others around them. Natalie will share vital tips for
remaining positive in the workplace. She will dive into:
• Focusing on successes when feeling disappointment or stress
• The benefits attached to creating a positive culture
• Times in her career where her positivity led to personal and 	
professional growth

“Taking advantage of the changing workforce and
creating your place in the organisation”
The demographic of the Australian workforce is rapidly
changing due to a change of attitudes, technologies, and
an ageing population. By 2020, we’ll have five generations
working together, each wanting something different from
work. By 2025, Gen Y is expected to compose 70% of the
workforce. Social media is driving new behaviours, resulting
in stakeholders becoming more comfortable with living life in
a public way. Jenny will discuss how to take advantage of this
change and explore various strategies to create your place in
the workforce:
• Insights on how to back yourself and step up to tell your 	
stories
• Focusing on strengths to build your profile
• Implementing methods for reaching out and expanding your	
network

“The road to resilience in the Public Sector”
Becoming a resilient leader is an important part of creating an
exceptional workplace. In the constantly evolving landscape
of the Public Sector, current and aspiring leaders alike
must learn to easily adapt to changing circumstances at
work and to recover from challenges and stress proactively.
Consciously developing reserves of resilience will ready
an emerging leader to better manage stress, change, and
pressure effectively. In this interactive session, panellists
will reflect on personal obstacles and stressors, how they
bounced back from adversity, focusing on:
• Effectively bouncing back from adversity by driving change
• The role of resilience for a compelling and engaging leader
• Practical advice and strategies for becoming an adaptable 	
leader

“Discovering your authentic leadership style”
Authentic leaders are aware of their strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and limitations. They are not afraid to connect
with their employees and show their emotions, whether
these emotions are positive or negative. Some leaders may
struggle with creating an authentic leadership style because
of the constantly evolving environment. Deborah realises
the value of staying true to your values and maintaining your
authentic leadership style. She will explore:
• Finding your niche and using it to your advantage
• Understanding how your personal brand can help further 	
your career
• Identifying strengths and weaknesses

“Managing role transitions”
Taking that next step in your career and moving into a new
role can be both exhilarating and terrifying. The transition
is likely to come with hurdles that we must conquer before
finding the right balance. There may not be much guidance
during this transition as there is not often much support from
organisations to help you decide on the next best role for
you. Ann knows how difficult the transition can be and in
this session she will lay out her roadmap for identifying the
right next role for you and making the transition as fluid as
possible. She will elaborate on:
• When and how to work out ‘what next’
• Gathering clarity about what you offer and what you want
• Establishing yourself in a new role

“Pushing your boundaries - Taking that leap
outside of your comfort zone”
Every senior level leader got to where they are today by
taking risks and stepping outside of their comfort zone.
Finding the confidence to test your boundaries and break
out of your shell can reap astounding benefits for your
personal and professional growth. It can be scary and
challenging to take those first leaps towards change, but
seizing upon those risks and opportunities is the pathway
towards career progression. Belinda will explore:
• Her personal journey and the risks she took on her path 	
towards leadership
• The lifelong rewards associated with risk-taking
• Conquering the fear that holds you back

9.45 - 10.25	 CASE STUDY
“Cultural change in the Public Sector”
How do cultural agencies, and the Public Sector more
broadly, bring to life their purpose, values and strategy so
employee engagement becomes an organisation-wide
people practice? Leaders have the power to change
policies, processes and procedures at the stroke of pen,
but successfully shifting a deeply entrenched workplace
culture is a whole different ball game. How critical is
successful culture change in enabling an organisation
to remain agile, responsive and deeply relevant to its
audiences and communities of interest in a rapidly
changing external environment? Claire will examine:
• Enabling structures and behaviours that allow a large 	
bureaucracy to work (and think) differently
• Embracing the strengths of the current culture instead 	
of focusing on the need for change
• Learning from mistakes to inform the wins of the future
Claire Spencer Chief Executive Officer

10.50 - 11.20	 CASE STUDY
“Discovering who you are and what you stand
for as a leader”
As a leader, it is vital to have a defined set of principles
and values that you stand for. Progressing as a leader
depends on how clear your values are and sticking to
them. People want to follow a leader when they know
where the leader stands and why actions are being taken.
Jodi will discuss how your ultimate success as a leader
depends on how well you understand yourself, your
values, and why you value it. Explore:
• Identifying what you stand for
• Creating clear and transparent values to your team 		
members
• Maintaining consistency in your values

“Bulldozing unconscious and hidden biases to
the ground”
The mind constantly processes information based on the
environment and experiences. There may be time when
unintended ideas enter the mind, influencing ideas such as
interactions with colleagues or major business deals. The
key is to train our brains into understanding when these
biases enter and how they affect observations, choices,
and relationships. There is substantial value for business
when a more conscious approach to decision making is
taken. Margaret will show how organisational outcomes
could be enhanced by addressing biases and refining the
quality of all decisions by elaborating on:
• Proven strategies for addressing and overcoming 		
unconscious bias in the workplace
• The importance of inclusive leadership
• Recognising and eliminating biases

“Achieving a healthy and sustainable work/life
balance”
Balancing professional and personal responsibilities can be
complex at a senior and executive level, with many leaders
struggling to find ways to stay on top of their work and
prevent it from interfering with other life activities. Constantly
rushing to juggle different commitments can lead to stress,
inefficiency, and an unhealthy balance. It is vital to manage
these two worlds to maximise leadership potential. This
panel will explore:
• Managing your time effectively
• Setting goals around your values
• Maintaining a healthy lifestyle

2.15 - 3.00	 EXPERT COMMENTARY
“Managing stress under intense pressure”
It’s natural to feel stress during high-pressure situations.
Our brains are wired in a way that makes stress inevitable.
Although these emotions may be unavoidable, having
the ability to manage your emotions and stay cool during
immense pressures is vital for becoming an successful
leader. Fortunately, there are proven techniques for
managing stress effectively. Gill will explore:
• The impact stress has on you and your happiness in your 	
professional and personal life
• How stress and pressure can impact and influence team 	
members
ABOUT THE EVENT
Leadership success within the Victorian Public Sector requires unique
skills, knowledge and resilience. Leaders from these environments must
be high performing whilst often working with financial constraints, shifting
priorities, operational uncertainty and cultural stagnation.
In 2014, woman made up 37% of public service executives in Victoria, an
increase from just under 30% since 2006. Despite considerable progress,
a significant gap remains in terms of gender representation in senior
leadership roles. While organisations are working to rectify the situation,
the key to accelerating change, largely rests with aspiring female leaders
who have an opportunity to take charge of their career and seek out
development opportunities.
The 5th Public Sector Women in Leadership Victoria Summit 2016 will
offer insights and advice for female empowerment, helping aspiring women
in the Public Sector reach their full potential. Senior level leaders will share
their experiences and present practical strategies to help individuals
develop their leadership skills and how organisations can promote
women’s empowerment in senior leadership roles.

Mastering Leadership and Staying Cool Under Pressure by Leading with the Brain in Mind
Problem solving, working with others, and leading change are essential skills for any leader, as is staying cool under pressure. Women in the Public
Sector benefit from having a sharp mind and agile brain that thinks laterally and quickly, and understanding the internal workings of this often-
underutilised leadership resource is an essential skill. The underlying mechanisms of the brain influence both our own actions and those of others.
Insight into our reactions when exposed to stress and situations that require us to make important decisions are the key to becoming an exceptional
problem-solver. Understanding others and using emotional intelligence as a management tool allows us to lead, without tripping ourselves up in the
process.
Margaret will explore how understanding and utilising the brain can help make you a more effective leader. She will give insights on how to make a huge
difference to your career by tapping into the full power of the brain.
Problem solving and decision making
• Strategies for managing your brain’s limited resources
• Using insights to creatively solve new problems
• Techniques to improve decision-making and problem-solving skills
Staying cool under pressure
• Understanding your reactions in order to avoid feeding into negative thoughts
• Techniques for emotional regulation
• Harnessing stress to achieve positive outcomes
Collaborating with others
• Understanding the dynamics that affect our social interaction at work
• Strategies for building effective relationships using the SCARF model
Improving others’ performance
• Exploring some pitfalls of traditional performance management
• Innovative approaches to improving your team’s performance
• Methods to help others grow

Breaking that armoured barrier takes focus, drive, and ambition. As Deputy Secretary, Amanda has gone above and beyond and shattered the glass ceiling. In this enthralling keynote session, Amanda will share her journey towards leadership and the barriers she faced when breaking the glass ceiling. She will draw on her background to discuss: • Overcoming barriers as a woman in a male-dominated society • Identifying opportunities and developing leadership pathways • Strategically seizing the right opportunities Amanda Caples Deputy Secretary, Sector Development and Programs Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources 9.45 - 10.00 Questions and Discussion 10.00 - 10.30 CASE STUDY “Driving organisational change from the front seat” Any one in an organisation, no matter where they fall in the organisational chart, can drive change if equipped with the right tools and techniques to create effective transformations within their teams. It can be extremely difficult for individuals to change habits, so altering organisational habits involving many individuals can be much tougher. It takes a significant commitment and time to achieve results, but the rewards can be much greater. As Assistant Commissioner for Victorian Police, Debra realises the effort it takes to buckle the seatbelt and drive change from the front seat. She will discuss: • Unlocking the resistance and obstacles that prevents change • Enabling improvement and innovation • Tools for creating a functional and useful change in the organisation Debra Abbott Assistant Commissioner Victoria Police 10.30 - 10.40 Questions and Discussion 10.40 - 10.55 Morning Tea 10.55 - 11.35 CASE STUDY “Building a positive and thriving workplace culture” Negativity in the workplace not only demoralises employees, but it also affects the bottom line. Even a subtle hint of negativity can spoil an effective workplace. Leaders should strive for the power to keep a positive mindset, enhancing not only their own success, but the achievement of others around them. Natalie will share vital tips for remaining positive in the workplace. She will dive into: • Focusing on successes when feeling disappointment or stress • The benefits attached to creating a positive culture • Times in her career where her positivity led to personal and professional growth Natalie Reiter General Manager, City Strategy Ballarat City Council 11.35 - 11.45 Questions and Discussion 11.45 - 12.25 EXPERT COMMENTARY “Taking advantage of the changing workforce and creating your place in the organisation” The demographic of the Australian workforce is rapidly changing due to a change of attitudes, technologies, and an ageing population. By 2020, we’ll have five generations working together, each wanting something different from work. By 2025, Gen Y is expected to compose 70% of the workforce. Social media is driving new behaviours, resulting in stakeholders becoming more comfortable with living life in a public way. Jenny will discuss how to take advantage of this change and explore various strategies to create your place in the workforce: • Insights on how to back yourself and step up to tell your stories • Focusing on strengths to build your profile • Implementing methods for reaching out and expanding your network Jenny Hoysted Executive Coach and Strategist Workforce Planning Coaching 12.25 - 12.35 Questions and Discussion 12.35 - 1.35 Networking Lunch 1.35 - 2.35 INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION “The road to resilience in the Public Sector” Becoming a resilient leader is an important part of creating an exceptional workplace. In the constantly evolving landscape of the Public Sector, current and aspiring leaders alike must learn to easily adapt to changing circumstances at work and to recover from challenges and stress proactively. Consciously developing reserves of resilience will ready an emerging leader to better manage stress, change, and pressure effectively. In this interactive session, panellists will reflect on personal obstacles and stressors, how they bounced back from adversity, focusing on: • Effectively bouncing back from adversity by driving change • The role of resilience for a compelling and engaging leader • Practical advice and strategies for becoming an adaptable leader Jessica Lambous Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary Agriculture Victoria Services Bernadette O’Neill Executive General Manager Fair Work Commission Sarah Myers Program Director, Medium Heavy Capability Department of Defence, Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group Melissa Dwyer Acting Executive Director, Integrity and Assurance Division Department of Education and Training VALUE PLUS DISCOUNT Receive $400 off registration if you register and pay by 15 January 2016 2016 Theme: ‘Advice to my younger self’ What do you know now that you wish you had known then?

They are not afraid to connect with their employees and show their emotions, whether these emotions are positive or negative. Some leaders may struggle with creating an authentic leadership style because of the constantly evolving environment. Deborah realises the value of staying true to your values and maintaining your authentic leadership style. She will explore: • Finding your niche and using it to your advantage • Understanding how your personal brand can help further your career • Identifying strengths and weaknesses Deborah Weiss Chief Operations Officer Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority 3.15 - 3.25 Questions and Discussion 3.25 - 3.40 Afternoon Tea 3.40 - 4.20 EXPERT COMMENTARY “Managing role transitions” Taking that next step in your career and moving into a new role can be both exhilarating and terrifying. The transition is likely to come with hurdles that we must conquer before finding the right balance. There may not be much guidance during this transition as there is not often much support from organisations to help you decide on the next best role for you. Ann knows how difficult the transition can be and in this session she will lay out her roadmap for identifying the right next role for you and making the transition as fluid as possible. She will elaborate on: • When and how to work out ‘what next’ • Gathering clarity about what you offer and what you want • Establishing yourself in a new role Ann Wright Executive Coach ACC, Career Design Coach, Change Consultant, Facilitator Ann Wright Consulting 4.20 - 4.30 Questions and Discussion 4.30 Concluding Remarks from the Chair Day Two 21 April 2016 8.30 - 8.55 Morning Coffee 8.55 - 9.00 Opening Remarks from the Chair 9.00 - 9.35 OPENING CASE STUDY “Pushing your boundaries - Taking that leap outside of your comfort zone” Every senior level leader got to where they are today by taking risks and stepping outside of their comfort zone. Finding the confidence to test your boundaries and break out of your shell can reap astounding benefits for your personal and professional growth. It can be scary and challenging to take those first leaps towards change, but seizing upon those risks and opportunities is the pathway towards career progression. Belinda will explore: • Her personal journey and the risks she took on her path towards leadership • The lifelong rewards associated with risk-taking • Conquering the fear that holds you back Belinda McLennan Chief Operating Officer AMES Australia 9.35 - 9.45 Questions and Discussion 9.45 - 10.25 CASE STUDY “Cultural change in the Public Sector” How do cultural agencies, and the Public Sector more broadly, bring to life their purpose, values and strategy so employee engagement becomes an organisation-wide people practice? Leaders have the power to change policies, processes and procedures at the stroke of pen, but successfully shifting a deeply entrenched workplace culture is a whole different ball game. How critical is successful culture change in enabling an organisation to remain agile, responsive and deeply relevant to its audiences and communities of interest in a rapidly changing external environment? Claire will examine: • Enabling structures and behaviours that allow a large bureaucracy to work (and think) differently • Embracing the strengths of the current culture instead of focusing on the need for change • Learning from mistakes to inform the wins of the future Claire Spencer Chief Executive Officer Arts Centre Melbourne 10.25 - 10.35 Questions and Discussion 10.35 - 10.50 Morning Tea 10.50 - 11.20 CASE STUDY “Discovering who you are and what you stand for as a leader” As a leader, it is vital to have a defined set of principles and values that you stand for. Progressing as a leader depends on how clear your values are and sticking to them. People want to follow a leader when they know where the leader stands and why actions are being taken. Jodi will discuss how your ultimate success as a leader depends on how well you understand yourself, your values, and why you value it. Explore: • Identifying what you stand for • Creating clear and transparent values to your team members • Maintaining consistency in your values Jodi Henderson Executive Director, North Area and Loddon Mallee Region Department of Justice and Regulation 4.30 - 5.30 NETWORKING RECEPTION Make the most of your Liquid Learning experience, join us to network over complimentary canapés and drinks Follow this event on Twitter using the event hashtag #VWL16 and @LiquidLearning for daily industry updates!

There may be time when unintended ideas enter the mind, influencing ideas such as interactions with colleagues or major business deals. The key is to train our brains into understanding when these biases enter and how they affect observations, choices, and relationships. There is substantial value for business when a more conscious approach to decision making is taken. Margaret will show how organisational outcomes could be enhanced by addressing biases and refining the quality of all decisions by elaborating on: • Proven strategies for addressing and overcoming unconscious bias in the workplace • The importance of inclusive leadership • Recognising and eliminating biases Margaret Weber Executive Coach Thinc - The Intelligence Consultants 12.05 - 12.15 Questions and Discussion 12.15 - 1.15 Networking Lunch 1.15 - 2.15 INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION “Achieving a healthy and sustainable work/life balance” Balancing professional and personal responsibilities can be complex at a senior and executive level, with many leaders struggling to find ways to stay on top of their work and prevent it from interfering with other life activities. Constantly rushing to juggle different commitments can lead to stress, inefficiency, and an unhealthy balance. It is vital to manage these two worlds to maximise leadership potential. This panel will explore: • Managing your time effectively • Setting goals around your values • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle Corinne Cadilhac Executive Director, Infrastructure, Planning and Major Projects Department of Premier and Cabinet Rebecca Hodges General Manager, People and Community Ambulance Victoria Carolyn Jackson Executive Director, Finance and Planning, Chief Finance Officer Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Paula Thorne Executive Director, Policy, Advisory and Legal Services State Revenue Office Victoria 2.15 - 3.00 EXPERT COMMENTARY “Managing stress under intense pressure” It’s natural to feel stress during high-pressure situations. Our brains are wired in a way that makes stress inevitable. Although these emotions may be unavoidable, having the ability to manage your emotions and stay cool during immense pressures is vital for becoming an successful leader. Fortunately, there are proven techniques for managing stress effectively. Gill will explore: • The impact stress has on you and your happiness in your professional and personal life • How stress and pressure can impact and influence team members ABOUT THE EVENT Leadership success within the Victorian Public Sector requires unique skills, knowledge and resilience. Leaders from these environments must be high performing whilst often working with financial constraints, shifting priorities, operational uncertainty and cultural stagnation. In 2014, woman made up 37% of public service executives in Victoria, an increase from just under 30% since 2006. Despite considerable progress, a significant gap remains in terms of gender representation in senior leadership roles. While organisations are working to rectify the situation, the key to accelerating change, largely rests with aspiring female leaders who have an opportunity to take charge of their career and seek out development opportunities. The 5th Public Sector Women in Leadership Victoria Summit 2016 will offer insights and advice for female empowerment, helping aspiring women in the Public Sector reach their full potential. Senior level leaders will share their experiences and present practical strategies to help individuals develop their leadership skills and how organisations can promote women’s empowerment in senior leadership roles.
