Resilience Brunch for Female Founders & Leaders
Tuesday, May 19 @ Southern Cross Uni
Strengthen connections, and pick up valuable mindset techniques 🙌
Our last Brunch event was so well received that we’ve decided to continue a similar format throughout 2026, to help attendees learn and grow together.
This year’s refreshed format features one guest speaker who presents her inspiring story. Where things are different is that this is followed by the same speaker walking attendees through a practical, fun mini-workshop. That way, attendees are having fun, building relationships, and yet also walking away with a practical outcome or action plan.
Our guest presenter for the May event is professional speaker and author Susan Sheehan.

Susan Sheehan is a high-performance coach, international speaker, and 3x No.1 bestselling author with over 30 years of experience in personal and professional development globally. Known for her expertise in resilience, brain training, and mental performance, Susan helps individuals and teams unlock greater confidence, adaptability, and influence under pressure. She is also a sought-after speaker, highly regarded for her work in the wellness and wellbeing space, personal profiling, brand identity, and speaker coaching. Having shared the stage with global thought leaders and interviewed celebrities and change makers, Susan brings energy, depth, real world insight and lasting impact to every conversation and event – equipping audiences to think smarter, lead stronger, and perform at their best.
After sharing her story, Susan will guide the group through a mini-workshop focused on developing and strengthening a results-focused, resilient mindset. You’ll walk away with practical tools to and techniques designed to help you overcome limiting beliefs so that you can step into your true self in business and leadership this year.
✨ What you’ll gain:
- Tips for increasing your resilience as a leader
- Practical tools you can use immediately
- Genuine connections with like-minded women
- Inspiration to start the year feeling empowered and supported
🥂 Naturally, brunch and refreshments are included.
👩💼 The event is open to all, though the content will particularly resonate with female founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, and students.
Whether you’re just starting out or scaling something meaningful, this is your invitation to grow through clarity, confidence and connection.
