The art of Reinvention

A thrill as always to host the annual Women in Banking and Finance forum last night.

After a keynote from Andrea Clarke of CareerCEO on making yourself Future Fit for the workplace - leading with purpose, genuine commitment to ongoing education and guarding your reputational capital - the panel and I got down to business.

Maggie Zhou detailed AliBaba's spectacular rise to now hosting over 750 million people in its online marketplace. Raelene Castle spoke passionately about purposeful leadership and facing up to challenges - while kindly pretending to pass on my suggestion for the Wallabies' starting line-up for Saturday. Adam Jacobs, founder of The Iconic, outlined his fascinating new venture Hatch which is rethinking career starts for university graduates by encouraging employers and potential employees to "try before they buy" with placements created specifically for new grads during a trial phase.

The night is always full of insights but Adam's outlining of Hatch was particularly well received. It's in Beta phase at the moment. Watch this exciting space.

For Women in Banking and Finance wanting career advice, mentorship and networking opportunities https://www.wibf.org.au is the place to start.
