Too often, we find ourselves being agreeable, playing ‘small’ and letting others call the shots, simply because we don’t want to ‘rock the boat’. However, our esteemed keynote speaker Christina Matthews is here to tell you that your voice and your viewpoint are valuable – and needed.
As a legendary former Australian cricket icon and former CEO of the Western Australian Cricket Association, Christina has built a legacy of driving meaningful change in diversity and inclusion by challenging the ‘norms’ in this sport.
Christina will be offering insights from her career to empower you to confront adversity and difficult conversations with confidence, use effective communication to get your point across, and leverage your influence for positive change.

Dr Gina Cleo is one of Australia’s leading experts in habit change and wellbeing and will be sharing her knowledge to help us better understand the basis of our deeply ingrained routines, practices and addictions.

Most recently he made history by completing the longest unsupported polar expedition of all time, alongside his best mate, Jonesy.
