IWD with the City of Marion

Apr 11, 2025 | Blog

I am fascinated with people’s stories and love asking lots of questions. I have to pinch myself in moments where I facilitate conversations with incredible people.

Some powerful messages came from the panel at City of Marion IWD women’s Business event last night

Some highlights include

Anna Hurley speaking about having incredible role modelling from her Mum and other people that have encouaged her to raise her voice and be heard

Monica Pugh shared about swapping roles with her husband and ensuring that she wasn’t taking responsibility for everything – to work as a team and communicate

Milly Albers acknowledged how wonderful it is that clients are accepting of having meetings with a newborn and encouraged her to use their feeding, changing facilities

A wonderful discussion with so many moments that normalised experiences, celebrated how far we have come and created some hope for the future. Plus such warmth and connection in the room.

Thankyou to Carly Thompson-Barry ACEcD Daniel Adams and the City of Marion team for supporting business owners and the Marion Hotel for providing a wonderful venue.
