Success Strategies for Women in Business

Being a woman in business today is fraught with many challenges, yet it is also a time of great opportunity, excitement and possibility.

Significant advances have been made in recent years with regard to the number and type of senior executive positions available to women, as well as remuneration and promotional opportunities. So what strategies do you have in place to ensure your success and how do you personally define and measure that “success”?

Following the incredibly successful launch of the Coleman & Greig Women in Business Forum in March this year, this next event will comprise a panel of pioneering female executives and their personal stories.

Fiona Balfour, previously Chief Information Officer with Telstra, has forged a stellar career in the Australian IT industry. From senior roles with the Government to Australian business icons, Qantas and Telstra, Fiona has achieved incredible success in what has been a traditionally male-dominated field.

Elaine Vincent has been the Chief Executive Officer of UnderCoverWear for seven years. In a company that is run by women, for women, Elaine has gained valuable insights into what women want from a career and how they can achieve personal success.

Mary Lynne Pidcock runs her own successful business (TRANSITION) which offers specialist advice to family-owned businesses. With a professional career spanning over 30 years, Mary Lynne is a non executive director of her 4th generation family-owned business, Big Rivers Timbers.

Join us to hear how these three women, from very different backgrounds, have all achieved success in business. Gain valuable insights into their personal and professional strategies and how they have met the many challenges they faced along the way.

In addition to the formal presentation you will also have an opportunity to network at the event with other senior businesswomen from a variety of western-Sydney based companies. Plus, every guest will be given a complimentary gift bag on the day and entered into the draw for some fabulous prizes.
