22 October 2025 | Ivy Ballroom Sydney
Power of Connection: People, Mentors & Meaningful Growth
In a rapidly evolving tax landscape, genuine human connection remains a vital force behind career growth, resilience, and leadership. This session explores the transformative power of mentorship, the value of building strong networks, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can shape not only your professional journey, but also your confidence and wellbeing.
Through authentic storytelling and candid reflections, our panel will share how they’ve built their own support teams, navigated mentorship from both sides, and used connection as a catalyst for growth and adaptability.
Key themes include:
- The role of mentorship in a dynamic and unpredictable tax environment
- How to build and maintain meaningful professional relationships
- From mentee to mentor – evolving through career stages
- The “board of directors” concept: curating your personal support tribe
- Real stories of navigating change through connection
