If you're not keeping up, you're falling behind. Here are a few issues we see emerging leaders facing; ➡ Managing four different generations at the same time. ➡ Working within a challenging/changing regulatory landscape. ➡ Balancing the expectations of shareholders with the workforce. ➡ Finding time to look after your physical, mental, relational and emotional needs. Sound familiar? We get it. We have been in your shoes. At our Resources Leadership Summit, you'll gain exclusive insights into these issues and much more. Introducing our Be Adaptive Panel. David Flanagan (Arrow Minerals Limited) will facilitate this session, and will be joined by Michelle Keegan (BHP & AROSE), Samuel Forbes (Fugro) and Malcolm Doig (Corporate Evolution Pty Ltd). This panel will explore the crucial role of leadership, focusing on how adaptive leaders navigate ambiguity, incomplete data, and uncertainty while championing innovation and positive change. Together, they will share their strategies and insights for thriving in a dynamic and uncertain environment. We would like to acknowledge Eisenhower Fellowships as our Be Adaptive panel supporters. Eisenhower Fellowships is a global program dedicated to leadership development and international exchange. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain invaluable insights and practical tools.

We all know that our Alumni members and those working in the resources sector are awesome people. Today we would like to shine a light on a group of daring adventures. In just a few days Darren Stralow, Brendan Parker, Bud O'Shannessy, Luke Gleeson, Shane McLeay, Sarah Coleman and Murray Leahy are embarking on an adventure of a lifetime, all in the name of charity. Our miners are undertaking a 4-day trek through the rugged Australian bush with very limited supplies at their disposal, all to support youth mental health. The team is aiming to raise $100,000 for Youth Focus which will be used to provide much needed support services to young Western Australians. If you would like to support this wonderful cause and our fellow miners, please consider making a donation: https://lnkd.in/euFMvnPg We are so proud of you team 💛
