The thunder, lightning, hail, rain, wild winds and snow didn't stop us!
More than 20 leaders have conquered the highest summit on the mainland, raising almost $40,000 for UN Women.

Now THIS is a terrific idea! No more low ceilings in cramped conference rooms. This recent event, HR FutureFest, was held outside.
The themes were centred on AI, workplace wellbeing, and DE&I.
It was my great honour to emcee just one of the stages at this enormous event.

It was an immense privilege to emcee the ADM Women in Defence Awards in Canberra this year.
To see so many women forging forward in this traditionally male-dominated area was incredibly uplifting.
There was much discussion about the regressive moves in the US to wind back DE&I initiatives.
