In March, the Directors and Managers attended the 56th Brentnalls Affiliation bi-annual conference, held in the historic city of Hobart.
The conference commenced with a Women in Brentnalls high tea, during which they announced their charity partner, Dress for Success. This organization provides unemployed and underemployed women with opportunities to achieve economic independence through no-fee programs, professional development tools, and professional attire to help them thrive in their work and personal lives.
The next two days featured a jam-packed lineup of speakers covering a range of topics:
- The Hardiness Advantage Workshop with Paul Taylor: An exploration of how hardiness cultivates sustained leadership by enhancing adaptability, commitment, and control for long-term success.
- Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority CEO Will Flamsteed: A presentation showcasing the challenges and successes of leading an organisation that manages three world heritage-listed sites into the future.
- Harnessing Artificial Intelligence with Leon Furze: A cutting-edge presentation on the inner workings, offerings and threats of AI technology.
The firms presented updates from the previous six months, covering operational areas including estate planning, systems and processes, and human resources. These sessions provided great discussions and an invaluable learning experience for all attendees.
The conference concluded with an unforgettable 80’s-themed cruise along the Derwent River, transforming the final evening into a vibrant celebration of team spirit and nostalgia.
The Brentnalls Affiliation continues to exemplify the power of unity and collaboration, empowering its members to strive for collective greatness while supporting individual journeys to excellence.
