The program will:

- Improve business performance and sustainability,
- Problem solve by helping others.
The masterclasses will be presented by Michelle Redfern, an accomplished executive who has held leadership roles for Australian blue-chip companies, along with FTSE-listed outsourcing company Serco during her corporate career.
Michelle’s strategic and commercial acumen has been honed throughout her career by managing P&L businesses and vendor panels and leading complex outsourcing and supply chain deals.
An experienced non-executive director, Michelle has held numerous sub-committee roles in the business and sporting sectors. This experience, as well as being a small business owner, means she brings real-world experience when guiding her clients and participants in her programs with a laser-sharp focus on diversity, equity and inclusion without losing sight of the business-critical factors of good governance, customer experience, growth and financial sustainability.
Michelle is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, holds an Executive MBA (Distinction) and holds various accreditations in organisational diversity and coaching. Michelle is an in-demand speaker and regular contributor to the discussion about equality and inclusion in sports and business workplaces.
