Hard feedback conversations, when delivered well, can change the trajectory of someone's personal and professional life. But what does effective delivery of difficult feedback sound and feel like?

In this webinar, you’ll learn the art of structuring feedback conversations that truly drive change. We’ll cover strategies to navigate the discomfort, a framework to make tough conversations smoother, and tips to hold your ground when receiving feedback, too. Whether you're giving or receiving, this session will equip you to turn feedback into action that matters.

Creating Her Way Season 2 is HERE!

And to kick off this new series with a bang, we’re asking a spicy question - when it comes to parenting in adland, why are mums the ones doing all the work? 

We’ll be joined by Alex Watts, Executive Director of Strategy at Poem, to talk about the good and bad of being a Dad in Ads, why the industry struggles to embrace parenthood of all kinds, and the desperate need for some bravery at the top. 

We learnt after Season 1 that we need to invite the men of this industry into the conversation of equality in order to truly make sustainable and progressive change, and we’re excited to have Alex on board. 

Mikhaila asked Alex why he was so passionate about sharing his views on parenthood and advertising and he said, “one of the quietest male voice in advertising is that of the parent - and it’s time we started sharing some of the load.”

Maximising Potential for Leaders with ADHD

With Ani Møller, AuDHD Leadership Coach

ADHD rates have doubled in Australia since the start of the pandemic. Many of us finally had a moment to pause and reflect, and with that came the realisation that we had ADHD all along, even if most of us didn’t know much about ADHD. We commonly hear about ADHD in children - but what if you’re a senior leader, just now realising that you have ADHD too?

People with ADHD struggle with cognitive processes called “Executive Functions”. Executive functions are the skills in our brains that help us achieve things and relate to people. They include short-term memory, attention, time management, and so on. People with ADHD often have rare skills in particular areas, but will also have difficulty managing certain executive functions.

People with ADHD are known for certain strengths - hyperfocus, creative thinking, and high performance under pressure. These are sought-after qualities, especially in a leader. However, someone with these strengths might be held back by how they perceive time, distractions, emotional regulation or what they hyperfocus on.

This webinar will talk about the challenges leaders with ADHD face, and some tips to help you maximise your strategic potential as a leader with ADHD.
