#CULTUREBITES
BRINGING TOGETHER A COMMUNITY OF SUCCESSFUL PROFESSIONALS AND CULTURE MAVERICKS, AND CONNECTING THEM IN CONVERSATION
You ask the questions you care about, and have conversations with leaders who are making a difference in their workplaces every day. You get to co-create the discussion.
#CULTUREBites
Bringing together a community of successful professionals and culture mavericks, and connecting them in conversation.
February’s Conversation Leader
Immerse regularly and learn from those doing it every day
Our Conversation Leader for February is Monica Watt, Chief Human Resources Officer for ELMO.
Monica is a business growth specialist who questions, disrupts, encourages, and builds using all resources available. For her, it’s all about the magic we can create in business. She simply loves how people and business can grow and become their best. Her passion is to enable and facilitate their growth.
Monica will lead the conversation on what it takes to retain world-class talent.
This is about you asking the questions you care about and having conversations with leaders who are making a difference in their workplaces every day, not simply sitting and listening to a speaker. You co-create the discussion.
What’s in it for you?
2 hour immersive conversation with collaborators and co-conspirators
Belonging to #CULTUREBites gives you exclusive access to our curated bite-sized lunchtime company culture, disruptive leadership and workplace strategy masterclasses – think part mastermind think tank/part training session, where you get your voice heard.
It’s a rolling 12 month program, and each month you will be at the table lunching with a different leader, digesting a different topic, at a Sydney CBD location selected to enrich your experience.
Over two hours, you will get to mingle and munch, continuously immerse, improve and innovate, and be supported to rise to the challenges and optimise the opportunities that will develop you as a disruptive leader.
As a member, you’ll also have access to support and resources, all designed to help you grow your team, your leadership, your business skills and your network.
Whether you are a CEO, a business owner, an employee, team leader, middle manager or more, you have the ability to impact the culture of your team and your company – and your results. This is your opportunity to take time out, once a month, to focus on the strategy that can make a real difference to your results.

2. JOIN US AS A CASUAL GUEST
A lot of people have already secured their #CULTUREBites membership. It’s where we bring together a community of successful professionals and culture mavericks, and connect them in conversation.
And I’ll be honest, it’s not for everyone.
It’s only for people who want to make a real difference, develop their own leadership, learn from those doing it, and positively impact their workplaces. On the 3rd Wednesday of each month, over two hours, we have a different conversation leader, sharing the highs and lows and everything in between.
And most of those who have joined know me. They have seen me in action. They know the quality of what they are getting. That this is not just another event, not just another lunch, not just another networking session … they know it’s a space where they get to have deep conversations about things that matter, with people who they normally wouldn’t get time with. It’s different.
So, you might think that’s something you’d like to join straight away (and we’d love to have you). But if you’d prefer just to come along for one of the lunches first, to try it out … well here’s the sign up form for you to do just that.
You might love it, and want more. And if you don’t … well, you’ll have had a nice lunch and a really interesting conversation with our culture mavericks, and the other leaders in the room.
To join us on a casual basis, it’s $120 plus GST ($132 inclusive of GST). If you’ve got a coupon code, pop it in the box and the amount will reduce at the checkout.
I look forward to seeing you there.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT OUR IMMERSIONS
What is different about #CULTUREBites?
When you want to learn a foreign language, the secret is to immerse yourself, surrounding yourself with those who are already fluent, and others who are on the same journey as you, who understand where you are coming from, understand your struggles, and keep you taking action.
As Simon Sinek says, it’s not about intensity – how long you do something in one hit – but consistency – how regularly you do something. You don’t get strong after going to the gym once for 9 hours, you get strong after going for 20 minutes each day, month after month.
It’s just like that with #CULTUREBites. An initial commitment to intensity is good – that’s our all day #CULTURE event – but what really moves the needle is ongoing regular immersion and access to all the support you need.
This isn’t just a lunch. It’s not just networking. It’s not just listening to a speaker. It’s not just another event.
This is an immersion.
This is your chance to connect with leaders you wouldn’t normally get access to.
This is your opportunity to experience some of the most incredible office spaces in the CBD.
This is where you meet your tribe.
Some of our #CULTUREBites will be open to casual guests – make sure you don’t miss out, by joining us today.
