Wyndham Entrepreneur Connect Presents:
LEADERSHIFT
MAR 25, 2026 | 6 PM - 9 PM
Holiday Inn, Werribee
LeaderShift is an interactive, in-person leadership experience designed to move you beyond theory and into transformation. This is not a traditional sit-and-listen panel. It’s a dynamic, facilitated leadership lab where reflection meets real-world insight.
You won’t just hear perspectives, you’ll engage in conversations, practical scenarios, and guided reflection that help you shift how you lead from the inside out.

About WE Connect
More Than Networking. A Movement.
Wyndham Entrepreneur Connect exists to cultivate a strong, sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem across Wyndham, one where people feel supported, seen, and genuinely connected.
We believe the most powerful growth happens when relationships come before referrals, conversations come before transactions, and wellbeing is valued alongside ambition. That’s why WE Connect was designed as a sales-free space where entrepreneurs, professionals, and creatives can show up as themselves and build trust without pressure.
This is a sales‑free zone where people come before pitches and connection comes before transactions.

No. Around half our attendees are new. Facilitators help everyone feel included.
Do I need to prepare or bring anything?
No preparation needed. Just bring yourself and an open mind.
