MFA Leadership Series
The MFA 5+ community (those with 5+ years industry experience) are our leaders. They are the linchpin of our industry, managing clients and overseeing the growth of newer recruits.
MFA Leadership Series is all about inspiring, informing and motivating us to continuously grow and become exceptional leaders.
The Series isn’t a workshop. The goal of the MFA Leadership Series is to challenge us to think differently.
Our focus is on developing the business and leadership skills of our MFA community. Through a series of events, we aim to motivate, educate, challenge and connect people in our industry.
Attend our next MFA Leadership Series: Leaders Embracing Difficult Conversations
Melbourne: 26 March 2025
Sydney: 03 April 2025
Whether they are hard, difficult, critical or important conversations, they are a part of life, and part of being a great leader. Avoidance leads to unresolved issues, miscommunication, and strained connections. Mastering these conversations is an essential future skill for great leaders. Critical in an era of declining meaningful dialogue.
Growth, both personal and professional come from these important discussions.
Join our keynote speakers as they share insights and stories on transforming challenging conversations into opportunities.
Jon Owen, Pastor & CEO, Wayside Chapel
Jon has dedicated his life to building a world without “us and them.” A qualified social worker, he has lived and worked in some of Sydney and Melbourne’s toughest communities, standing beside those facing homelessness, addiction, and mental health struggles.
For Jon, every difficult conversation is an opportunity to spark hope – because the people he meets are often at their most vulnerable. He believes the right words can transform lives: Words create worlds.
Anneli Blundell, Expert in Communication Dynamics
Anneli empowers leaders to navigate difficult conversations with confidence, transforming challenging exchanges into meaningful and impactful discussions.
An executive coach, workshop facilitator and author, she equips leaders with the tools to communicate with authority and foster strong connections.
She has written five leadership books, won numerous business awards and talks to strangers for fun.
