Adaptive Leadership in an AI World: Embracing Chaos

Adaptive Leadership in an AI World: Embracing Chaos

From Transformational Leaders Collective

**What if your greatest leadership advantage wasn't having all the answers...but knowing how to respond when no one does?** Today's leaders face constant disruption. Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries. Markets shift overnight. Teams evolve. Plans rarely unfold exactly as expected. The leaders who thrive aren't those with the perfect strategy—they're the ones who can adapt, collaborate and create possibilities in the moment. Inspired by the principles of improvisational theatre, this highly interactive experience is designed to strengthen one of the most essential leadership capabilities of our time: the ability to respond with confidence, creativity and resilience when the script disappears. Through a series of engaging warm-up activities, team challenges and experiential exercises, you'll develop the mindset and skills to embrace uncertainty rather than resist it. Along the way, you'll discover how trust, presence and collaboration unlock better decisions and stronger leadership under pressure. Together we'll explore how to respond when: * Plans fall apart and you need to pivot quickly. * The situation changes halfway through. * You're working with unfamiliar people. * Critical information is missing. * The brief is unclear—or completely wrong. * Outcomes don't match intentions. This isn't about acting. It's about learning to become more adaptable, resourceful and confident in situations where certainty simply isn't available. Whether you're a business leader, entrepreneur, consultant, coach or emerging leader, you'll gain practical experience in thinking on your feet while connecting with other professionals who are equally committed to growing their leadership capacity. You'll leave with: * Greater confidence navigating uncertainty. * Improved adaptability and creative problem-solving. * Stronger collaboration and communication skills. * A deeper appreciation that leadership isn't about controlling every outcome—it's about responding skilfully to whatever emerges. The future won't reward those who cling to the script. It will reward those who can create the next chapter together. 🎟️This is a ticketed event. Register and reserve your spot at: [https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607372](https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607372) Ticket includes snacks, a healthy plant-based meal and drinks. **Hosted by:** Utopia Rising delivers unconventional social experiences for self-improvement seekers looking to broaden their network or simply be inspired by life again. It’s a party reimagined - alcohol-free, featuring healthy plant-based food. [www.utopiarising.com.au](https://www.utopiarising.com.au)

WEREWOLF! A Night of Improvised Deception

WEREWOLF! A Night of Improvised Deception

Fri, Jul 10, 7:30 AM
From Transformational Leaders Collective
4.5

Trust no one. Read the room. Survive the night. This will put your Leadership, Critical Thinking & Persuasion Skills to the ultimate test! *In this tiny 17th-century town, some of you are Werewolves. Others are Civilians 👥, the Seer 🔮, the Vigilante ⚔️, Cupid 🏹, or Lovers ❤️.* *By night, the Werewolves hunt.* *By day, the town must decide who to trust… to survive.* Step into Werewolf: The Improvised Game (“Whispers”) — a high-energy social experiment where trust is fragile, alliances shift, and someone is always lying. Based on the popular social deduction game, this Improvised experience throws you into a world of hidden identities, real-time decisions, and constant uncertainty. You’ll negotiate, defend yourself, question others… and at some point, probably accuse someone innocent. Get ready to step into a character from the 17th century. You could be the town doctor, candle maker, blacksmith, or wizard - just to name a few. As the pressure builds, you’ll sharpen the skills that matter most in the real world: * Communication under pressure * Reading people * Critical thinking * Decision-making * Trust-building * Influence * Emotional intelligence And here’s the twist… It quietly becomes one of the most fascinating team dynamics simulations you’ll ever experience. 💪🏽 Who steps up? 🤫 Who stays quiet? ❓ Who influences the room? 🙈 Who folds under pressure? ⏱️ Who bluffs their way to the end? No experience needed. Just your survival instincts, a willingness to get into character, and the courage to accuse new friends of being literal monsters! Can you read the room, earn trust, and build the right alliances… before it’s too late? 🐺 Your mission: Stay Alive! Credits: This game, *Whispers,* was created by Raymond van Driel, F-Act Training & Coaching [www.onlinewerewolf.com](https://www.onlinewerewolf.com) **P.S.** A minimum of 8 players is required and a maximum of 28. If we don’t reach the minimum or exceed the maximum, we’ll improvise and play alternative game(s). **P.P.S.** Due to the unpredictable timing of each round, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late will observe until the next round begins. There is also the possibility that you may miss out on playing altogether. **P.P.P.S.** Your survival is not guaranteed. 👉 Join now. You don’t want to be left outside the village. Trust me... **🎟️ Register now.** https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/werewolf-a-thrilling-game-of-improvised-deception-free-tickets-1992278816571 📑 **This FREE event is published on multiple platforms, so it is necessary for you to register on Eventbrite to ensure the numbers are capped to the capacity of the room.** **Workshop Facilitator** ***Susan Zheng*** is the Founder and Director of [Improv Life Lessons](https://improvlifelessons.au/ "https://improvlifelessons.au/"). What if our path to authenticity is not in perfection, but in using mistakes as a launching pad for bursts of transformation? Join me, and let's improvise our way to personal growth and meaningful connections!

Fireside Chat with Shannon Scott and Malte Feller

Fireside Chat with Shannon Scott and Malte Feller

Thu, Jul 9, 8:00 AM
From ProductTank Sydney
4.6

We have a **HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT**! 🎉 We're excited to bring you a very special fireside chat this July with **Shannon Scott** and **Malte Feller**, exploring what it takes to build and lead product at global scale. So much is changing in the product world. AI is reshaping how products are built and how teams operate, while the bar for product leadership keeps rising. Few people have navigated this at the scale and speed of global fintech, where the stakes of getting product right are exceptionally high. **During this fireside chat,** Shannon and Malte will dig into scaling product teams across markets, building trust with customers and regulators, why owning your stack matters more than ever in an agentic AI world, and where AI is taking product leadership in finance next - with a special emphasis on what this means for companies and product people here in Australia. Bring your questions to this special event. **About Shannon** Shannon Scott is the Chief Product Officer at Airwallex, where he leads global product strategy and roadmap across the Melbourne-founded fintech now serving over 150,000 businesses worldwide. His work centres on a genuinely hard problem: building global financial infrastructure that earns customer trust across every jurisdiction it touches. He's a strong advocate for owning your stack by securing and designing products from the ground up rather than relying on third parties and for product leaders taking real ownership of bringing AI capabilities to their customers, not leaving CTOs and CFOs to figure it out themselves. Before Airwallex, Shannon spent 11 years at Palantir, where as its first employee outside the US he built the company's international operations from the ground up. **About Malte** Malte Feller has enjoyed a long and successful career in product and company leadership across global tech hubs, originally in Berlin and then Silicon Valley, before finding his home in Sydney. He has held leadership positions including Managing Director of PayPal Australia, COO of Afterpay, and CEO of Linkly. Today, as Founder and Principal of Manzanita Product Leadership, Malte coaches and advises product and company leaders at both startups and large enterprises. ✨ Huge thanks to Airwallex for hosting us at their Sydney office, Ground Level, 29 Balfour Street, Chippendale! This is a unique opportunity to hear from global product leaders like Shannon and gain unforgettable, one-of-a-kind insights.
