Interview Prep Sydney

**The Inner Game of Success: Master our Mindset, Energy and Performance** The biggest obstacles to success are often invisible. Self-doubt, limiting beliefs, fear of failure and emotional overwhelm can quietly undermine even the most capable people, affecting their decisions, confidence and performance. Many people focus on external strategies for success while overlooking the inner patterns that drive their results. In this highly interactive workshop, you will be guided you through practical mindset and peak-performance exercises designed to help you break through mental barriers, build confidence and create greater momentum in both business and life. Rather than simply learning concepts, you will experience proven techniques that help you access your best thinking, manage pressure more effectively and perform at a higher level. Through a combination of reflection, small-group discussion, future vision creation and guided peak-state exercises, you will learn how successful people create empowering emotional states, stay focused on what matters and take consistent action toward meaningful goals. You will also experience practical techniques that can help you generate confidence, motivation and resourcefulness on demand. **By attending this workshop, you will:** * Identify the hidden mental and emotional patterns that may be limiting your success * Learn practical techniques to create confidence, focus and motivation on demand * Develop greater resilience when facing uncertainty, pressure and setbacks * Create a compelling vision for your future that inspires action * Gain practical tools to improve performance in leadership, business and everyday life * Connect with like-minded founders, professionals, leaders and entrepreneurs Whether you're building a startup, growing a business, leading a team or simply looking to perform at your best, this workshop will provide practical tools and insights to help you unlock more of your potential and create lasting positive change. **About the Speakers** **Roy Kwan** Founder and CEO of Coach Anywhere, Business Coach and Certified NLP Trainer. Roy has over 17 years of business consulting experience and helps professionals, leaders and founders develop greater clarity, confidence and emotional resilience under pressure. **Sonya Furlong** One of a small number of certified NLP Master Trainers in Australia, Sonya is passionate about helping people understand and apply the psychology of success, equipping them with practical tools to create meaningful change and achieve extraordinary results. **About Spark Festival** Spark Festival is back for our eleventh year - and things are looking quite different this time around. We're facing into a long period of uncertainty for Australian founders and investors. Government support, certainty over our tax system, R&D tax incentive eligibility and the ongoing legality of AI development in Australia are all hanging in the balance following significant policy announcements, with minimal consideration of the impacts on our ecosystem. Spark Festival is here to make our community's voices heard, to provide a platform for those who can't pay for access, and to spark engagement across Australia's diverse startup ecosystem. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- By registering for this event, you grant full rights to use the images from any photography/video footage for publicity and education purposes.

**Elevate Your Executive Presence Masterclass** People think executive presence is something you're born with. What if I told you it can very much be learned? And it's not how most people think. It starts from the inside, with clarity of thought. If you do great work, but when someone asks you to talk about it, you stutter, ramble and confuse yourself and others in moments that matter most, then this session is for you. Maybe you know your subject cold, but you still don't sound as credible as you feel. Maybe you've watched someone with a fraction of your knowledge command the room, simply because they knew how to land it. In this interactive masterclass, we'll cover 4 frameworks to completely transform how you speak and write, so you're seen, heard and understood at work. **Remona Moodley has spent a lifetime learning how to be seen.** Growing up feeling invisible and overlooked, she went looking for her voice early, entering her first speaking competition at age 5 and her first beauty pageant at age 6. That pursuit eventually carried her to the Miss World stage in 2012 and the World Championship of Public Speaking stage in 2025. Her professional path ran in parallel. Trained as an electrical engineer, she earned her MBA from UC Berkeley Haas and spent years as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company, advising CEOs on their toughest business challenges. It was there she absorbed the structured thinking and communication frameworks that separate hard workers from influential ones. She later trained as a certified executive coach, helping high achievers find their voice in the moments that matter most. Today, Remona combines what she's learned on stage and in the boardroom to help people communicate with the clarity, confidence, and credibility it takes to be seen and heard.

From PMO to VRO: A Walgreens Case Study

Tue, Sep 29, 10:00 PM

We're delighted to join our BVSSH Americas group presenting this Sooner Safer Happier case study. Walgreens is making the shift from PMO to Value Realization Office (VRO). A VRO can be a rebrand of the PMO, or it can be a different definition of success. Walgreens went after the second. **Wes Keyser**, Senior Director of the Value Realization Office (VRO) at Walgreens, joins us to walk through what it actually takes to move a technology PMO from delivering outputs to proving outcomes as part of a VRO transition — inside a 120-year-old company, mid-turnaround, with 8,000 stores and 200,000 people watching. Wes will cover how the VRO was built and shifting the big rocks, such as the capacity funding model, key results and culture. Expect practical examples over theory, honest lessons learned on remit, sequencing and finding your allies, and a look at where Walgreens is taking the VRO next. Wes will present the Walgreens case study followed by an opportunity for Q&A - so bring along your questions on PMO to VRO. A Zoom link will be provided closer to the event date.
