     challenges. Delegates were inspired by keynote presentations
     from two-time Olympian beach volleyball champion, Kerri Pottharst
     and one of Australia’s leading psychotherapists and experts on
     relationships and mental health and wellbeing, Jackie Furey.


     The program also included engaging presentations on your digital
     presence, managing difficult relationships, the CEO’s panel, critical
     duo working partnerships, workplace bullying and harassment and
     unpacking imposter syndrome. Everyone agreed the conference
     content and networking with other women in local government was
     a fantastic opportunity.
