The Future of Work – Future Proofing Careers and Workplaces

The Future of Work is here and influencing how we run our organisations, manage our careers and employees who are challenging the old ways of traditional employee-employer relationships. The next 10 years will bring dramatic and accelerated change influenced by

  • Digital disruption, automation and robotics – what will the employment landscape look like in 2025?
  • Portfolio careers – the desire for employees to have variety, freedom and flexibility will change the nature of how employees will approach the employment conversation
  • Work anywhere, anytime – the ability to hire anyone, anywhere will increase opportunity and competition
  • Retention –  a job for life is a distant memory, gone too will be tenure, single focused loyalty and attachment to the organization
  • An ageing but more experience population who want and need to contribute beyond the traditional retirement age

Core Confidence – The Game Changing Guide to Having it All in Work & Life

What is standing in the way between creating the career and life you’re aiming for? Our research found there’s a common thread for many women as they move through their career, particularly as they head into their late twenties and beyond. For a variety of reasons, they have become disconnected from their inner resource of ‘core confidence’, and this is impacting their career progression. Core Confidence is about strengthening and supporting women to reconnect with that inner resource of ‘core confidence’. Our consulting and workshops have revealed that despite decades of good intentions to have more women in the top ranks of corporate and government organisations, very little progress has been made. We are dedicated to enabling women to face, manage and navigate the personal barriers that are standing in their way. This book includes the models and methodology we have been sharing in our workshops; it includes the 10 elements, both the internal and external facets, that together reconnect you to your Core Confidence.

Lauren Thompson, Chair at Women in Engineering Victoria (Engineers Australia)

Kate recently spoke at our event ‘Salary Negotiation and Career Progression’ at Engineers Australia, Melbourne. She brought amazing energy to the room and held the presence of a skilled and experienced presenter. Kate’s presentation was engaging, professional and interactive, encouraging attendees to reflect and think. She was both well informed on the topic and inspirational – everyone left energised and there was lots of discussion in the room following the presentation. Fantastic work Kate – thank you.

Interesting speaker, engaging, relevant and thought provoking

LOVED her style – great message.

Natalie Fallon, Manager Chartered Accountants Australia New Zealand

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kate to develop events that provide real career value to young professionals and then seen those plans in actions working on-on-one on my own career. Kate’s insights into the psyche of employees and organisations give her an excellent capability to understand motivation on both sides and to find a way to achieve collaborative goals. She is an expert speaker and has a high energy in the room. Having seen her present to groups of 10 -100 I know her to be adaptable and able to understand her audience. 
I would highly recommend collaborating with Kate on any project.

Sarah Cocco, Manager – Joint Investigation Response Team, Family and Community Services

Kate is an inspiring and motivating speaker and leader who has exceptional skill in helping others (in both public and private sectors) to pinpoint their values and career aspirations in order to drive their career accordingly. Kate was recently the Keynote Speaker at the JIRT FACS Practice Forum and the feedback from those in attendance has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you, Kate! I look forward to working with you in an ongoing capacity.
