The author of the leadership book "Vantage Point: cutting through the bullsh#t of a complex world," Mike challenges the conventional notion that change stems from rational thought alone.

Welcome to a multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary and imaginative exploration of resilience, aimed to inspire and uplift you. 

Elizabeth Wiliamson has lived with quadriplegia for 13 years. Her preferred capacity descriptor is radically-abled. She has relearnt to walk twice, collected two titanium implants due to falls, and has twice experienced cancer.

Elizabeth invites you into a whole new conversation about what resilience is: in relationships, business and personal experience. Her safe bet is that it has nothing to do with bouncing or backwards. You will leave with new insights into your own personal strengths.

The Mediterranean Diet, as it was consumed in the 1950 in Crete, is widely recognised in the scientific literature as providing health benefits. This dietary pattern was reflective of the physical and economic environmental arid mountainous lands and a poor economic outlook leading to a frugal diet.

It is high in plant foods, including green leafy vegetables, legumes and nuts, wholegrain cereals and extra-virgin olive oil. In contrast it is low in animal foods (meat and dairy), and no intake of processed foods. Local red wine was consumed in moderation and always with meals. But it is much more than a dietary pattern, it is steeped in the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean, including a balanced lifestyle of rest and purposeful physical activity, recipes, cooking methods, celebrations and enjoying meals together.

So join in for a night of discovery to find out what science tells us about the Mediterranean Dietary Pattern.

In March it was announced that South Australia had 75% of its electricity from wind and solar in the previous 12 months  leading the world. We had a goal to be 100% renewable electricity by 2030, but that has had to be revised to 2027! 

Project EnergyConnect will allow us to send electricity to Sydney at their peak demand times.  We are well placed to cater for the uptake in electric vehicles, especially with the growth in home battery systems.

Using examples from her research to get the facts while writing McDouall Stuart hitches a ride, you will join her on the discovery that fake news is indeed as old as history, and explore why we believe what we read and what we are told. Or not.

This is an often heard cry...that lawyers are ruining the love of sport.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The law provides an essential underpinning and safety net for all sports participants, administrators and spectators: including installing rules of fair play and fair team selections; challenging negligence, discrimination and criminal thuggery; controlling gambling, drug-taking, illegal contracts and deceptive marketing, all the while focusing on the best ways to promote good competition and a safe (non-concussive) environment.

It's a pretty long list!

They will also share their bowel cancer stories in a real and raw yet humorous way.

That in which the public is interested is not always in the public interest.” It’s a favourite refrain of politicians, criminal defence lawyers and judges when they become unhappy with the focus of the media’s attention.

But how true is this statement? What – and more importantly, who – defines and decides that which is in the public interest and that which merely interests the public? How has the line between those concepts been blurred by the rise of clickbait, social media misinformation and good old-fashioned parochial prejudices? And how does all of this affect what you, the general public, do and do not get told? Daniel and Sean bring answers gleaned from four award-winning seasons of radio as they sift the sensational from the sensationalised.

Everyone has a unique voiceprint – so unique that humans can recognise the voice of a loved one after only hearing two words.

Our voices have the power to influence, engage and inspire, yet voice training and vocal care practices are rarely incorporated into everyday workplace culture. Self-proclaimed “voice enthusiast” and specialist vocal coach Tania Savelli will discuss why voice training should be a part of the office routine and how anyone can improve their voice to build self-confidence, improve workplace communication and help elevate their career.

Our mindset, whether fixed or growth-oriented, profoundly influences our achievements and personal growth.

A fixed mindset sees abilities as innate, while a growth mindset believes in the power of effort and learning to improve. Those with a growth mindset embrace challenges and see failures as opportunities to learn and grow.

In contrast, a fixed mindset may lead to avoidance of challenges and a fear of failure. Cultivating a growth mindset raises resilience, persistence, and a love of learning, impacting personal development, education, work, and relationships, ultimately determining our potential for success and fulfillment.
