18 Jun April: Global Thinking, Local Impact

In April, I clocked some serious miles—Philadelphia to Queenstown—for NPAworldwide’s board meeting, PowerUp Americas conferenece and an ANZ owners’ meeting in Queenstown.

 

Why?

Because learning from global peers ensures our clients gain access to real international reach, industry knowledge and experience and deep, proven leadership talent across borders.

 

 

 

Looking Ahead: Why We Keep Showing Up

After an energising Mindshop conference, I found myself reflecting—not just on where we’ve been in 2025, but on where we’re headed. And the calendar is full of opportunities to provide even better insights to our clients.

 

Next up?

📍 RCSA Shape (August) – the staffing industry’s peak event.

📍 PowerUp Asia in Hanoi and IXPA Global in Brussels (September) – two global stages where strategy meets connection.

📍 PowerUp ANZ in Sydney (November) – one last gathering to close out the year with purpose.

 

Why all this travel?

Because staying still isn’t an option when you're serious about serving others. Every event, every connection, every learning moment is an investment—not in appearances, but in relevance, tools, and ideas that help us support clients with confidence.

 

The goal?

To deliver smarter tech, sharper insights, and stronger leadership connections—whether we’re helping a client navigate change, grow a team, or build cross-border capability.

We’re on a journey, just like our clients. And the best way to lead is to keep learning.
