This inter-active, informative two-day workshop is ideal for council officers looking to further their career in local government. The event provides valuable networking opportunities with some of Queensland’s brightest talents. The Inspire Conference features council case studies, the ‘ever popular’ CEO panel discussion, think tanks, transformative workshops and much more. Come along to meet like-minded professionals to network, collaborate and share experiences and ideas.

Local governments fulfil a vital role across Queensland communities.  To do that, they need great people with wide-ranging skillsets.  And, they need those people to be at their best.

As local government officers, we all want that too: to be our best for our organisations, for our communities and for ourselves.

The Conference of You will help you find that ‘best’ you.  Throughout the two days of sessions, presenters will help you identify what might be slowing you down – sapping that creativity we all have in us, distracting us from getting things done, sending us off on time-wasting tangents or stopping us putting ourselves forward when we really should.

The programme will show you ways to build better habits and practices so you can consistently deliver – but to find balance in the process.  Hopefully, we can help you put the fun back into your local government team!

Join fellow local government officers from across the state for what is always an informative, thought-provoking, informal and fun Conference which this year, is all about YOU!

When: Wed 23 and Thurs 24 March 2022

Keynote Presenter: Amanda Gore is called a 'people whisperer'.  She is a communications and performance expert, who for over 25 years has been helping people achieve results by re-connecting them to what really drives perception, attitudes, behaviour, engagement, joy and positive outcomes in business and life.

Her expertise in transforming the spirit of people and cultures changes perceptions; improves relationships and leadership; connects and engages people; and reframes the value of change.  Amanda has a bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy, a Major in psychology, and expertise in ergonomics, group dynamics, stress management, neurolinguistic, and emotional intelligence.  Amanda blends these areas of expertise to connect body, mind and spirit to show people how to become more effective professionally and personally, and to become their real selves — to be authentic.
