2025 Women in Leadership Forum

Leadership is stronger when it includes different voices. Valuing women's leadership isn't optional; it's essential.

Jaynee Penny

Class of 2006

Being immersed in life at OLMC set an example and an expectation that having women in leadership positions was normal.

Jacqueline Connor

Class of 2004

Don't let feelings of fears drive how you lead or how you live your life. Recognise them, sit with them, and get comfortable with the feeling of being uncomfortable.

Dr Kate Patterson

Guest Speaker

You are capable of more than you think. The world needs your ideas, your energy, and your leadership.

Georgie Nicholas

Class of 1991

The 2025 Women in Leadership Forum was another powerful and inspiring evening, where four remarkable women shared their leadership journeys both in and beyond the workplace. From moments of laughter to quiet reflection, the evening resonated deeply with all who attended.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Georgie Nichols, Jacqueline Connor, Dr Kate Patterson, and Jaynee Penny for generously sharing their insights and experiences.

Our guest speakers left a lasting impact and reminded us of the strength, resilience, and purpose that define great leadership.
