Hi There

 

What a week - we have President Trump again! Interesting read in AFR on what could happen on his first day in office. Enough said. 

 

Katie and I are looking forward to the ASFA Conference next week at the ICC Sydney. Don't forget I am moderating a session on the impact of menopause on retirement savings - hope to see you there. 

 

And we're are hosting the Orphans dinner on Wednesday, 20 November at The Shelbourne Hotel. If you would like to catch up with us at the pub, reach out to Katie for the details. You don't have to be attending the ASFA conference to join us. 

 

Details below plus the latest news and views. 

 

Cheers

Sarah

We are going to hold a panel session on 'how to have a successful career in product management' on Tuesday, 26 November. We are running this as a hybrid event, so people outside Sydney don't miss out:

 

Sydney: 4-6pm (including time for networking, drinks and snacks pre/post presentation) Parity Consulting offices, Level 12/35 Clarence St, Sydney. There are only a few 'in person' slots left so register ASAP if you don't want to miss out.

Sarah Penn, CEO, Mayflower Consulting
