Hi There

Don't know about you, but I'm ready for the holidays! Still, lots of fun things going on before then :)

We had our Sydney PDS roundtable last night. Big thanks to our panelists - Michael, Megan and Victoria, who shared lots of excellent advice and insights about managing up and career management in general. And similar for our panelists in Melbourne - Pia, Matt and Julia. How lucky are we to be surrounded by such great people!?

If you missed it but are thinking about your own career, I highly recommend 'coaching real leaders', a HBR podcast.

And speaking of thinking about your own 'stuff', see the blog at the end of this newsletter for a rundown of what you need to be thinking about for your own estate planning. Everyone reading this should at the very least have a will in place. Including, cough, myself*...

See below for all latest events, news and views.

Regards
Sarah
