The Australian Capital TerritoryPUBLIC SECTOR YOUNG LEADERS CONFERENCE 2017The Forum for Australia’s Emerging Public Sector Leaders

Thursday 25th May 2017National Convention and Exhibition Centre, Canberra

THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY PUBLIC SECTOR YOUNG LEADERS CONFERENCE IS A UNIQUE DEVELOPMENTAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ASPIRING LEADERS AND NEW MANAGERS.

Each year, hundreds of young leaders from Australian Capital Territory’s public sector gather together for a

powerful one day development program specifically designed for emerging leaders. Offering a critical opportunity

to step away from everyday demands, the conference allows new managers time to reflect and refocus on their

individual challenges and aspirations.

By exploring first-hand the experiences of celebrated leaders at the forefront of their industry the conference

equips young managers with the tools to excel in the modern public sector, whilst assisting them to make peer

group connections vital to career success.

I’m a young leader; how will the conference help me? The conference is designed to equip you with highly practical management tools and techniques and thereby instil the

confidence to lead effectively in any situation. High calibre public sector leaders will share their insights on how you can

achieve more in your role whilst preparing you for both the challenges and the opportunities that accompany an ever-

changing public sector landscape.

LEARN FROM INSPIRATIONAL LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP EXPERTS

IMPROVE YOUR PEOPLE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY

ENHANCE YOUR CONFIDENCE AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS

MAKE FRIENDS AND CONTACTS TO SUPPORT YOUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT

UNDERSTAND HOW TO BE A GREAT LEADER AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TEAM

What are the benefits for my organisation?Leadership development is an important investment for both individuals and their organisations. Over the past eight

years the conference has assisted hundreds of public sector managers to deliver increased value in their roles and

prepared them for future advancement.

Utilising insights and advice from inspirational speakers, conference participants will be better able to manage both their

professional responsibilities and their key stakeholder relationships. Surpassing the mere transmission of theories, the

conference will equip young leaders with the ability to adapt to a demanding work environment, instil the confidence to

step up and provide the vision to guide other employees towards peak performance.



Who Attends?The event is aimed towards ‘emerging’ leaders who are aspiring,

transitioning and developing. ‘Young leaders’ are not defined by age

as such but attendees include a mix of those who are in early-career

leadership/management roles, or more generally those who aspire to

progress in their careers and may currently be in formative, co-ordinator

or team leader positions. The conference will also be suitable for anyone

interested in the future strength of the public sector or any individuals

wanting to improve their own personal work efficiency and brand. It is

also a great workshop for experienced leaders who need to skill up in

certain areas or assist in navigating their leadership journey.

DEVELOPMENT SESSION

It is inevitable that at some point, either in the workplace or in your personal life, you will need to initiate or engage difficult conversations. Such conversations include providing critical feedback to a member of staff, apologising for one’s own behaviour, requesting a colleague or boss to examine and change their behaviour, dealing with tension within the team or with an individual. In fact, a difficult conversation is any conversation that you find difficult. During this session, participants will explore the dynamics involved in difficult conversations and develop their ability to initiate and manage these interchanges effectively.

DEVELOPMENT SESSION

The ability to effectively manage and leverage relationships with people in more senior positions is a critical aspect of functioning effectively in any workplace environment, and is something that many young leaders find challenging. Failure to manage relationships with more senior colleagues effectively can lead to confusion, wasted time and effort and increased stress. But learning how to interact appropriately and build strong alliances with more senior staff can have major advantages in relation to future career advancement and job satisfaction. During this session participants will explore ways to work effectively with a variety of stakeholders and how to handle more challenging or delicate situations.

DEVELOPMENT SESSION

As leaders, we are constantly striving to maximise our own output and that of our team. We are all challenged by the need to juggle multiple tasks and responsibilities and to do more with less. Staying focused on the bigger picture and knowing how to prioritise, enables us to get the best return on our effort and energy. During this session, participants will explore how to step back from the day to day, be mindful of the big picture and use this knowledge to prioritise their actions appropriately in order to enhance productivity and their own wellbeing.
