Build your leadership profile - The long-term investment
It is essential for you as a leader to continue to develop yourself and to explore the key skills and strategies required to be an influential leader in your role.

Anne Fleischer Chief Financial Officer and Executive Manager, People and Finance Branch Australian Communications and Media Authority
OPENING KEYNOTE CASE STUDY
Jumping the crevasse from technical to leadership
Successfully transitioning into an executive finance role means moving from technical expert to influencer, from micro to macro and with the need to confront the challenges and responsibilities that come with leadership. Jennifer believes that to be a good leader, you must have a combination of solid technical skills, commercial acumen, and the ability to positively influence. • Seize leadership opportunities • Use setbacks and failures as a tool for development • Value time spent with mentors, sponsors and connectors

These new frontiers of finance leadership bring great possibility and even greater challenges, and for women in finance and accounting there are still more challenges to overcome. Despite a much healthier representation in less senior finance roles, the gender gap remains markedly more pronounced in the C-suite, with Australia still lagging behind, with the top 100 employing almost half the number of female CFOs as their international peers. Liquid Learning is delighted to present the 5th Annual Women in Finance and Accounting Leadership Summit 2017, the premier learning and networking event for finance professionals, bringing together inspirational leaders to share their expertise and experiences. Aspiring and emerging females will gain essential insight and advice through interactive panels, inspirational case studies and expert commentaries, with the opportunity to build valuable networks with senior leaders and like-minded professionals to achieve career excellence.
