SUMMARY:Lake Macquarie Women in Business
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday 10th June Join for the LMWIBN luncheon featuring keynote speaker\, Louise Kirk. \nLouise is a speaker\, podcast host and confidence coach for women in business who are ready to stop hiding and build the kind of visibility that actually gets clients. \nHer work is shaped by a defining moment at 18\, when she was wrongfully arrested at Amsterdam airport. \nAn experience that shattered her identity and forced her to rebuild her confidence\, leadership\, and sense of self from the ground up. \nWhat was meant to silence Louise became the moment she found her voice. \nToday\, she uses that experience to teach women one of the most important leadership skills: being seen without fear. Louise blends real-world experience\, powerful storytelling\, and practical mindset strategies to move audiences to rethink what’s possible\, overcome self-doubt\, and step into their full authority. \n📅 Wednesday\, 10 June \n⏰ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm (arrival from 11:30 am) \n📍 Brownsugar Restaurant & Functions \n🎟 Two-course luncheon – $70pp* \n*$5 from every ticket will be donated to our June charity partner\, Meals on Wheels.

SUMMARY:Networking - Lake Macquarie Business Networking Evening - AI in August with Kim Fernandez: CEO and Founder of AI Collab
DESCRIPTION:Is your business AI compliant?\n\n\nWhat is shadow AI?\nWhat governance needs to be put in place?\nWith Kim Fernandez CEO and Founder AI Collab\n\nRight now\, around 60% of Australian workers are using AI tools their employer hasn’t approved. That’s not a fringe of rule-breakers\, it’s most of your team\, and it’s usually a sign people are trying to do better work faster. The real problem is what leadership can’t see: sensitive data going into free tools\, no record of what’s changed\, and no agreement on where the line sits. That’s shadow AI. Kim Fernandez will be talking about what it actually costs a business\, and how to bring it into the open without turning it into an investigation. Kim Fernandez can assist you to define your business AI policy. The strategic goals\, data needs\, governance\, and operational rules required for a successful rollout.
