Getting women into leadership roles in businesses and communities is one of my big passions. Another one is travel. And this week I’ve been reflecting on the role of cultural barriers and stereotypes, in the advancement of women.  Read More

Last weeks Mastermind Breakfast in Melbourne was a sold out, smash-hit success. And thanks to www.bestgiftcertificates.com.au we have another one in Sydney on the 15^th of July. Make sure you let us know you’re interested ASAP, so we can contact you and secure your place.  Read More

The Melbourne Mastermind Breakfast was a complete success – packed full of useful discussions, sold out and a lot of fun. I found it so empowering and encouraging seeing 10 women come together and share their lives with each other by honestly discussing challenges, successful strategies, ideas and tips. Read More

It’s so satisfying and encouraging when you finally try an idea and it just works! 

The sphinxx Mastermind Breakfast program was created to provide intensive mentoring, idea sharing and discussion for senior women in a forum where you set the agenda. I’ve been developing this idea for a while, and with the support of de Groots media we were able to host our first event in Adelaide last Friday. I thought it was an invaluable addition to my work life, and so did the attendees:

“I found this breakfast fantastic!!! Have the ability to get keen insights into areas that are affecting you by outstanding women simply cannot be valued enough.  Love these breakfasts and will recommend them to all women to go - just as long as I don't miss out on future ones!!!!!” Amanda Horne, Director, Every Day PA

“I had a great time... I attend many networking events and am unable to make real connections at these events as there is always so much going on, so you don't have the time to really get to know the people you are speaking to.  In this way, this breakfast was fantastic.  I was able to develop a strong rapport with each of the other women and plan on doing business with all of them in the near future. Jen's facilitation was also fantastic - she kept everyone on track, and ensured that we all had a chance to speak and contribute to the breakfast.” Emily Jerome, Event Coordinator for AFMEA 

I will be up in Brisbane at the end of this week, and will be running a “Mastermind Coffee” this Friday. Slightly different, but also jam-packed with discussions, ideas and inspiration. Places are limited, so make sure you contact me ASAP if you like to be part of this turbocharged event.

And a huge thank you to our sponsors de Groots, without whom this event couldn’t have happened. They’re offering a special discount for sphinxx women, so make sure you check it out here.

This event includes Susan Barton AM the founder of the Lighthouse Foundation, Megan Motto the CEO of Consult Australia (formerly the association of Consulting Engineers Australia) and Karen Webster the outgoing festival director of the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

These events are always booked up fast - so register now to make sure you get in and aren’t disappointed. Read More
