Last week, we partnered with Asahi Beverages to host Empowering Women in Sport, a live panel event held at their Melbourne headquarters, designed to spotlight the women who are reshaping the future of sport and leadership in Australia.
The room was full, the energy was high, and the conversation was raw, funny, powerful and deeply real, the kind of dialogue that doesn’t just land in the moment, but lingers.
Together, they shared stories of resilience, identity, leadership, self-belief and the quiet battles behind the public wins, from being the only woman in a male-dominated space, to learning how to back yourself long before anyone else does.
- What leadership looks like for women in high-performance spaces
- How culture, gender and visibility shape opportunity
- The difference between confidence and courage
- What young women actually need to stay in sport and step into leadership
- Why sport is still one of the most powerful training grounds for life
There were laughs. There were goosebump moments. There were women in the audience who saw themselves in every story.
Because women’s sport is growing, but equity isn’t automatic.
Because representation is only the beginning, real change happens when stories are told, platforms are shared and systems are redesigned.
Because workplaces have an enormous role to play in shifting what’s possible for the next generation of women and girls.
For not just hosting this event, but for championing a conversation that goes far beyond sport, one that speaks to leadership, culture, allyship and the future we’re all shaping together.
