Saying no, so you can say yes

Wednesday 9 October from 1.00 to 2.00pm

Women do the majority of the office ‘housework’. These non-promotable tasks are a handbrake on our careers, leading to missed opportunities and burnout. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to say ‘no’ professionally to protect your time for more strategic work. You’ll leave with small, tangible actions to apply to your own career.

Natalie Ferguson, Co-founder, Powrsuit

Natalie caught the entrepreneurial bug at university, and embarked on her first venture at 19. Twenty years on, Nat has experienced multiple successful exits, a few painful failures, and everything in between. Before it was acquired in 2021, she co-founded and grew Hatch into a thriving wealth platform with nearly 200,000 investors. Now, she’s on a mission to close the gender leadership gap with Powrsuit.



Kristen Lunman, Co-founder, Powrsuit

From a family of entrepreneurs, Kristen is attracted to challenging the status quo. Her startup journey in New Zealand started with Wipster, a video SaaS solution. Until 2021, she was the co-founder and CEO of Hatch, an investing platform. More recently, she is one half of the dynamic duo behind Powrsuit – a career accelerator for women on the way up. When she does have spare time, it’s spent with her family on the sidelines or a surfboard.

Women advisers: networking for commercial opportunity – Member only event

Tuesday 12 November from 5.00 to 7.00pm

Shaw and Partners, Level 7, Chifley Tower, 2 Chifley Square, Sydney

Business networking offers new and experienced female advisers opportunities to build a book and long-term relationships with clients. Despite often being natural networkers in their personal lives, many women hesitate to network professionally, associating it with “selling themselves.” Kate Potter will provide practical tips on how to effectively network for commercial opportunity. This free event is tailored for women in the industry — female advisers, please bring another woman in your firm who you think could be interested in becoming an adviser. Networking drinks will follow the presentation.

Kate Potter, Consultant, Monterosa
