Join Sandi Givens as she explores the careers of 3 brilliant women.
The types of questions to be explored include:
*What’s been the most significant decision you’ve made in helping you get where you are today?
*Who have been your Role Models?
*What do you believe is the biggest barrier women face in achieving the business success they desire?
*If there was 1 thing you’d differently in developing your career path to this point, what would that be?
Our panelists are:
Margot Spalding is a highly sought-after speaker who’s practical, down-to-earth, no nonsense, inspirational approach has broad appeal.
As one half of the amazing JIMMY POSSUM success story and the 2006 Telstra Australian Businesswoman of the Year, Margot has a wealth of professional knowledge and experience to share with her audience.
She is the ultimate “people person” from a background that extends far beyond her inimitable business style to reveal an individual of remarkable resilience, determination and compassion.
Margot is as tenacious as she is passionate and focussed in her commitment to work and family – the two greatest joys of her life – and is truly unique in her ability to balance both, together with a steadfast dedication to personal health and fitness.
While she confesses to “living, breathing, eating and sleeping” JIMMY POSSUM, Margot dedicates an equal measure of energy and enthusiasm to her husband Alan and their seven wonderfully talented children (five of whom work in the business, as well as a son-in-law) plus six precious grandsons.
Kirstie Marshallis a notable Australian aerial skier and Victorian state politician.
Marshall was an ex-gymnast who became an aerial skier at Mount Buller, Victoria. During her skiing career Marshall won over 40 World Cup medals, including 17 World Cup gold medals. Marshall competed in aerial skiing as a demonstration sport at the 1992 Winter Olympics, and as a medal event in 1994 and 1998, where she came sixth and fourteenth respectively.
In December 2002, aged 33, Marshall was elected as a Member of Parliament in the Victorian Legislative Assembly for the Australian Labor Party.
On 26 February 2003, she was ejected from the Lower House chamber for breastfeeding her 12-day-old baby, Charlotte Louise. A section of the Parliamentary rules, namely Standing Order 30, states: "Unless by order of the House, no Member of this House shall presume to bring any stranger into any part of the House appropriated to the Members of this House while the House, or a Committee of the whole House, is sitting." As there is no age limit to ‘strangers in the House’ (non-elected persons), only MPs and certain parliamentary staff are allowed in the House during sitting times.
Subsequently, the Speaker of the House set aside a room in which female MPs can feed their children without violating the Standing Orders.
Zara Ritchieis a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Melbourne. Zara is a partner in the Australian Transfer Pricing practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers Her experience covers a range of industries, which include technology, consumer products, manufacturing and automotive companies. Zara's transfer pricing experience includes assisting clients negotiate successful audit disputes, Advance Pricing Arrangements, develop cost effective and pragmatic documentation strategies as well as cross border structuring and planning advice.
