“Nice girls finish last”
“Women aren’t tough enough to compete in the upper ranks of the business world”
“Lets face it, women just don’t like each other”
I’m pretty sure that I’ve heard points like these more often then I hear about a woman getting an exec role in Australia! But if you want to really discuss those “nice girls finish second” discussions that challenge nice and nasty career women, this is the event for you.The Australian Institute of Management Great Debate – Nice Girls Finish Second is on in Canberra on the 2nd of July and Sydney on the 27th of August and it’s set to be a light-hearted and irreverent clash of the minds over fine wine and great food with some of Australia’s leading businesswomen (and a couple of men).
Hear from speakers such as Catherine Fox and Mia Freedman who will cut straight to the chase on some of the biggest issues facing women in management. It’s the 12th annual debate in Canberra and the inaugural debate in Sydney, the positions sell out fast, so make sure you book ASAP, and if you’re going, shoot me an email.

You took the words out of my mouth .. or a discussion that I've had with both men and women.
I would have loved to attend from Canada as I think the issues are similar here as they would be there. Many people say, culturally, Canada and Australia are more culturally aligned than say, UK or US.
If only I could be a bigger bitch to earn a private plane so I could attend!!

Hi Jeanette,
We're hoping in the debate we see it's not just bitches who get ahead. I'm looking forward to seeing this topic opened up for wider discussion, and hopefully higher scrutiny into why some people feel only bitches get ahead.
They often have highlights and summaries up on their website after events, so have a look after Canberra. Or push for a promotion to get you to the private plane owning stage of success!
