It’s time to thrive.
Perth Agility Circle 2024
THE EVENT
The 2024 PAC event challenged senior leaders not just to keep pace in a world moving faster than ever, but to thrive - leading with agility, clarity and intent in the face of constant acceleration.
We heard from Sue Langley, global leader in Positive Psychology, Neuroscience and Emotional Intelligence, who shared how science-backed practices can help leaders and teams build resilience, wellbeing and sustainable performance. Steve Macdonald, co-founder of Beyond Leadership and author of Press Pause, explored how values-driven leadership enables executives to align intent with impact, transforming how they show up and lead.
The event also featured a practical panel discussion with Mike Saunders, Chief Wagering Officer at RWWA, and Tim Langsford, Service Design Lead at Scalabl, who reflected on their journey in building a culture of customer-centric excellence at TABtouch.
The message was clear: thriving in today’s world isn’t about moving faster - it’s about leading with focus, purpose and humanity, no matter the pace of change.
