Have you ever said the words “I don’t have time to network!”

Here’s the thing - networking IS working. When it comes to our careers, leadership and the opportunities we get, it often comes down to who we know, what they know about us, and what we do after we’ve met them 👏

At this Long Lunch Club, , Career and Leadership Coach, Speaker and Author of new book, Less Hustle, More Happy, will talk about ‘relationship currency’ and the power that relationships have to propel and elevate. She will share practical tips on how to be authentic, the LLC way 🩷

You spend hours sharpening your skills, delivering results, and showcasing your performance, but relationships are the other 50% of your career currency. It’s time to balance the scales, and take charge of this critical part of your success 💁‍♀️✨

Our MC this Long Lunch Club is Lynzie Kent, a regular Long Luncher and talented muscian 👏

She is the founder of two 7 figure businesses; Mad Bash Group (under which she has designed and planned hundreds of weddings and events) and The Pop-Up Chapel Co (a shared wedding concept marrying 10 couples in one day).

It will be an absolute honour to have Federal MP, Kate Chaney, give the opening address at our International Women’s Day celebration. 

Kate is the Independent Federal Member for Curtin.  She is WA’s first female Independent Federal Member of Parliament in the House of Representatives and was elected on a platform of climate action, integrity in politics and inclusive communities.

Excited to introduce our final panelist speaker, Verity Simmons! From dominating the netball court with West Coast Fever to representing Aus with the Australian Diamonds, she’s now taking on a new challenge in AFLW with West Coast Eagles! 
 
A type one diabetic, Verity is also a passionate advocate for health and fitness. Outside of sports, she’s making a difference as a personal trainer/coach and working with Indigenous youth in and out of detention centers. 
 
Having played professionally across two sports, we look forward to hearing Verity’s unique perspective on AFL’s investment in the AFLW and the player experience in the AFLW compared to netball. We can’t wait!

Next up on our panel is Paul Marsh, CEO of the AFL Players’ Association who has been a key advocate for the rights and wellbeing of AFL and AFLW players. 
 
Under Paul’s leadership, the AFL PA have been instrumental in achieving significant improvements of pay and conditions for AFLW players, including a historic 94% pay increase in 2022 and the first joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for both AFL and AFLW in 2023, with the players now collectively sharing in 31.7% of the game’s gross revenues. 
 
Paul has had a long and accomplished career in Australian sports, also serving as the CEO of the Australian Cricketers’ Association for nine years, during which time the association started representing female cricketers and secured the first workplace deal for these players too.
 
We’re thrilled to have Paul join us for IWD and look forward to hearing about how he and the AFL PA continue to support the AFLW players in their vision to reach professionalism by 2026.
