Kickstart Your New Financial Year was what this July event was about and Great to see such strong engagement at our Victorian Leaders
Business leaders explored two topics that are having an increasing impact on organisations today: protecting competitive advantage in an
AI-enabled world, and navigating an increasingly complex economic environment.
A big thank you to Helen Mutimer, FB
Rice
for sharing practical insights on intellectual property, trade secrets and AI, and Matthew
De Pasquale,
Judo Bank for an engaging economic update covering the key issues
shaping business confidence and decision-making.
Thank you to our members, guests, Advisory Board and presenters for contributing to another outstanding event.
If you're a business leader who values trusted peer connections, practical insights and being challenged and held accountable to think
differently, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out to learn more about Victorian Leaders

Huge thanks to our speakers Pierce Hanlen and Warren
Otter for delivering insights that were practical, timely, and immediately usable.
Key takeaways that had the room buzzing:
• Superannuation is still one of the most powerful planning levers — especially when contributions, pensions and estate planning are
aligned. With Division 296 now in play, proactive advice isn’t optional; it’s essential.
• Mid‑sized businesses don’t stall because of effort — they stall because of lack of strategy. Working harder won’t fix complacency or
ineffective growth tactics. • Strategic acquisition is back on the table — and when paired with strong systems and leadership, it can
accelerate growth, lift business value, and give owners back time and choice.
Plenty of sharp discussion, plenty of “aha” moments… and plenty of people lining up for July.
If you weren’t in the room, make sure you are next month. The momentum is building

May’s Victorian Leaders event is all about clarity, risk, and the decisions that shape the future of your business.
We’re joined by Andrew Ellem & Brett
Havlin
(Prime Financial Group) to unpack the 2026 Budget and what it
really means for tax planning and investment strategy.
Then Hayden McMaster(Synapse
IT Consultants) takes us inside a real cyber incident — where risk builds quietly, choices matter, and leadership determines the outcome long before
anything hits the news.

Jeff Bergmann, CLP from Solubility

action for businesses to invest time in NFP alignment — not just for social impact, but for bottom‑line performance and deeper staff

In Atlas of the Heart, Brené Brown reminds us that trust is a cognitive assessment. But what exactly are
we assessing? In this piece, our industry experts Matthew Vandermeer and Carlos Del Cueto unpack three distinct kinds of trust; predictive,
vulnerability-based, and performance-based and share real-life examples of how each plays out in teams and
relationships. You’ll learn why relying on the wrong kind of trust can hold your team back, and how to build the kind that truly drives
performance.]]>
