Meet Justine

Hi, I’m Justine, and I’d love to personally invite you to The Leaders Table.

As a mum, leader, and someone with more than 25 years of experience across executive leadership, HR, governance, and operations, I know how challenging it can be to navigate the demands of a career while also being there for the people who matter most.

I’ve spent years working with leaders and organisations, but I also know what it feels like personally to carry the expectations of work, family, and leadership all at once.

That’s why I created the Connected Leadership Model: to help leaders build trust, clarity, accountability, and stronger teams, without feeling like they have to carry everything themselves.

This evening is especially for senior female leaders who want to grow their impact while creating a more sustainable way to lead and live.

I’d love to share what I’ve learned, hear your experiences, and have a meaningful conversation about what leadership can look like when you don’t have to do it all alone.

You don’t need to carry it all. You need to build a team that carries it with you.

I hope you’ll join me.

Justine

what we’ll actually talk about

This isn't a typical leadership dinner.

Leaders constantly solving problems instead of leading strategically

Teams waiting for direction rather than taking ownership

Silos and poor communication slowing progress

Accountability becoming inconsistent

High effort producing inconsistent results

On the night

What to expect

An evening in Canberra designed to feel like a good dinner with sharp people, not a conference with better catering.

A seated dinner, not a ballroom

A small group of senior female leaders around one table, usually 6 to 14 people, never a room of a hundred.

Facilitated personally by Justine

No hired MC, no hand-off to junior staff. Justine leads every conversation herself, in the room, with you.

Honest conversation, not a highlight reel

We talk about what leadership actually feels like, the parts that don’t make it onto LinkedIn.

Practical shifts, not just inspiration

You’ll leave with language and tools for your team, not just a nice evening out.

A confidential table

What’s said over dinner stays there. That’s what makes the honesty possible.

Testimonials

What leaders say after working with Justine

"Justine's program strengthened our leadership team, built real trust, and helped us understand what actually drives each other's behaviour. It's changed the way I lead."

"Our team is united, playing to their strengths, and running smoothly without me holding it all together. I'm working fewer hours and getting a better result."

“Accepting your invitation to dinner was a big step outside my comfort zone. I was nervous when I arrived, but you welcomed me so warmly that I immediately felt at ease. The evening was filled with meaningful conversations, valuable insights, and relatable experiences. I truly appreciated how generously you shared your knowledge and kept the conversation engaging through thoughtful questions and leadership insights. And to top it all off, the food was excellent!”

“I want to let you know how much I enjoyed the two Women’s Leadership Network evenings I attended. The venues were great, and I really felt a strong connection with the other women. It was such a relaxed, open space to chat about both work and personal challenges. I’d highly recommend it to anyone thinking about joining. Thanks again for putting together such a valuable evening.”

“I said yes to the dinner on a whim, and I am glad I did. It was a refreshing, honest chat with a group of interesting women. It was like being with old friends over a lovely meal, chatting about work stuff.”

“The Canberra dinner delivered real substance. I walked away with ideas I'd already started acting on within the week. But what stayed with me was the quality of the connections. This wasn't a room of people talking at each other; it was genuine conversation with women who lead the way I aspire to. That combination, rigour and real connection, is rare, and worth making time for.”

There's a seat at this table for you.

Come as you are tired, ambitious, sceptical, all of it. Leave with a clearer sense of what leadership can look like when you’re not carrying it alone.
