The Queensland Women in Planning Network’s Development Series is back for 2024.
As planners, we all play a role in shaping cities, communities, and regions. We can supercharge this role throughout our careers by seeking out continued professional growth and taking up opportunities to build confidence and capacity.
The 2024 ‘Know your’ Development Series continues to recognise the importance of developing soft skills – an importance that cannot be overstated in today’s rapidly evolving professional landscape.
The three-part series is suitable for all planners, from students and emerging planners through to leadership roles in both the public and private sectors.
Each session will be guided by expert speakers in the nominated skills area.
The 2024 Development Series topics and expert presenters are:
1. Know Your Boundaries, with Candace Jarrett, Director, Neish People
2. Know Your Worth, with Sonia McDonald, Founder and CEO of LeadershipHQ
3. Know Your Network, with Hannah Greig, HR Strategist, Ford HR
The series is delivered online to allow you to join us from wherever your work may take you.
