Local governments face growing pressure to deliver more services, meet increasing compliance requirements, strengthen cybersecurity and attract specialist talent, all while managing constrained budgets. Many of these challenges are difficult for a single council to solve alone.
Join Sharon Jankowiak and Tracey Sigge, as they share the story behind the award-winning collaboration between East Gippsland Shire Council and Wellington Shire Council, recognised with the LGPro Innovative Leadership Initiative Award.
This session explores how two regional councils came together with a shared vision, combined expertise and resources, and created a model that delivered better outcomes for both organisations and their communities.
The discussion will explore how collaboration can help councils access capabilities that may otherwise be difficult to achieve independently, and how modern cloud technology can enable new models of shared services, shared expertise and shared success.
We all know it’s not always the highest performers who rise to the top at work. Personal networks, political savvy and who feels comfortable being visible often matter just as much as skills, knowledge and experience which can create very specific challenges for women.
Even after decades of progress on gender equality, many women’s careers are still shaped by outdated social norms, gendered expectations and persistent stereotypes. The result? Women are more likely to second-guess themselves, over-accommodate others’ needs, and receive critical feedback about their communication style.
Whether your definition of career success is stepping into senior leadership, shaping meaningful work, or simply having more choice and control over your future, for most women, finding career fulfilment will require finding the courage to do and say things that feel hard and scary. 'Career courage' will mean different things at different phases of your career. Sometimes it looks like continuing to speak in a meeting, even when you're constantly being interrupted. Sometimes it looks like asking for greater flexibility, or pursuing development opportunity, or seeking out the support you need to get through the week. And sometimes it looks like taking a massive leap into something completely new.
If you:
Feel stuck in a rut, with no clue about what to do about it (or perhaps you know precisely what you need to do but simply can't muster up the courage to take action)
Sometimes find yourself playing small, holding back or staying quiet even when you have something important to contribute.
We'll explore:
What having more 'career courage' might mean in your life and work right now.
Techniques for dialling down self-doubt, making friends with your inner critic and honouring your values, even when it feels hard or scary.
Why focussing on building courage is more helpful than focussing on building confidence in your life and career.
