  Program

  1.30pm	Arrivals
  1.45pm	Welcome
  2.00pm	Thriving in Challenges and Change Dr Tom Nehmy, Director, Clinical Psychologist, Healthy Minds We are excited to be joined by Dr Tom Nehmy of ‘The Healthy Minds Program’ who is passionate about wellbeing and building peoples resilience, especially in his home state of SA. The lifting of the borders, subsequent restrictions on activities and ensuring a strong health response to manage COVID-19 will require on-going leadership within the sector. In this session, Tom will discuss methods for ‘Thriving in Challenges and Change’ and share insights, interesting stories and practical ways to build resilience. Be inspired and refuel your leadership with some useful takeaways. “We brush our teeth to stop decay, we bend our knees to lift heavy objects and spare our back – but what do we do to have and maintain a healthy mind? I’m excited that we are starting to build an answer to that question.” Dr Tom Nehmy
  3.00pm	CEO Connect James Koch, Culturalchemy LG Professionals SA and the LGA are pleased to be working together to bring you the CEO Connect Session series.  James Koch of Culturalchemy will once again facilitate this session. James brings a strong practice in facilitating executive leadership experiences in the private and public sector. He understands the local government sector and has a subtle capability to untap perspectives and positively influence leadership culture. The space he creates for insights to be shared and artfully held, in a dialogue between peers, is transformative. Fun and good humour are elements James weaves into the dialogue, too. Making the session positively impactful for CEOs and, ultimately, the organisations they lead and the communities they serve. This is an important session where James will support the group to deeply explore issues of importance to them.

  Safe, inclusive, responsive, innovative and resilient – all words used to describe the role of local government in building and protecting our communities.

  But what does the future of the South Australian local government sector look like?

  In a world of increasing speed and complexity, organisations are struggling to stay relevant. We need new ways to present local government. The conference program will touch on how with increasing pressure and community expectations we can create, lead and manage teams in highly adverse and uncertain environments, future proofing our workforce to remain nimble, responsive and in touch, as we have demonstrated in the last 18 months. It will touch on the important questions of:

  • Who are the next generation of professionals the sector needs?
  • How can we adapt, find new capacity and confidence in the recruitment of new talent?
  •  How do we shift and appeal to new markets?
  • What role do we all play in the promotion and attraction of talent to the sector?

  The full program will be released soon.
