Welcome Note and Introduction
Networking is not only about trading information, but also serves as an avenue to create long-term relationships with mutual benefits.
For many individuals that have succeeded in their career, the causes have largely been contributed to the strong networking channels they have created over time.
To network successfully you need to question who you network with and determine their relevance to your career growth. Start with how you can contribute to their success, in addition to how you stand to benefit from their knowledge.
08:10 am
ACTIVITY SESSION
The Leadership Wellbeing Wheel
To inspire connection and reflection, attendees will participate in a short networking activity where participants will complete a compact wheel-of-life diagram to reflect on areas where they are thriving versus feeling depleted, including aspects such as physical, emotional, mental, and relational wellbeing. This exercise helps identify priorities for self-care and supports balanced, sustainable leadership.

Join us for our final breakfast of 2025 with Pefimbo Shipunda, Senior Social Work Professional at the One Economy Foundation. Learn how intentional self-care can boost resilience, enhance decision-making, and help you thrive as a leader—personally and professionally.
Pause, reflect, and reset before the year ends—because leadership starts with wellbeing.
