Marion Lawie | Managing Director for Vocatif Australia, and Associate Director of Dream Big Australia
Marion is widely recognised as an experienced engagement practitioner, strategist, and communicator. creates learning and engagement experiences for individuals and teams, working particularly within the public sector and community. Her role is to create an environment where participants are open and willing to share ideas, consider alternative perspectives and learn something new - or perhaps unlearn something that’s no longer serving them.
Marion is a proud advocate for Dream Big Australia, an NFP committed to enhancing women’s potential and ability to succeed in STEAM careers through world-class development experiences. High potential, emerging female talent needs to be supported and nurtured to address our professional gender imbalance - which will be to the benefit of all, because diversity = strength.
Marion will provide a key note for our event, discussing the need for gender inclusion now to progress communities of tomorrow.
