Developing Women Workshop | From Busy to Balance |
|
From Busy to Balance: Practical productivity tools to help you navigate strategy, workload and leading teams.
Want to boost your productivity and make more time for what really matters? This interactive workshop is your opportunity to step back, refocus, and work smarter. It’s led by Jodii Maguire, a highly respected performance psychologist with over 15 years’ experience in high-performance sport and corporate leadership.
Jodii will share simple, proven strategies to help you manage daily tasks and to-do lists with greater ease. You’ll learn how to free yourself from the constant pull of “urgent” work so you can focus on the big-picture priorities that drive results and inspire your team.
You’ll leave with practical tools, a clear plan of action, and the confidence to tackle both urgent priorities and long-term goals with greater efficiency. Perfect for new and emerging leaders stepping into more complex responsibilities, as well as experienced leaders looking to sharpen and refresh their productivity skills.
This workshop is proudly delivered as part of the Women of Sport Leadership Program- SportWest’s initiative to empower the next generation of female leaders in sport.

Million Moves | Can you complete 75 moves a day for 21 days?
|
|
We are excited to be part of Million Moves, a statewide physical activity campaign designed to get more Australians moving and feeling great! We are encouraging every staff member and their friends, family and communities to complete 75 moves a day for 21 days, starting on the 1st of September.
Why 75 moves for 21 days? 75 represents the alarming statistic that 75% of Australians don’t meet the recommended physical activity guidelines. 21 days is the time it takes to build a consistent healthy habit. Your daily moves can be anything: big or small, seated or standing, high energy or low impact. It’s about finding what works for your body. |
