Executive Business Breakfast Series
The Kokoda Foundation and Accenture are proud to present the 2013 Executive Business Breakfast (EBB) series. This initiative aims to provide career development, insight into key industry topics and networking opportunities to individuals at the 'middle management' or the EL1/EL2 level within the National Security community who are looking to advance into senior management. EBB’s are run through-out the year and keynote speakers and guests are drawn from senior leaders from the national and international security community as well as the private and public sectors.
Limited to 20 invited guests, these breakfasts offer an opportunity to participate in a confidential and open discussion with a senior keynote speaker on career development and relevant topics within the Australian Defence Force and the National Security community more generally. Speakers will draw from experience about the chosen topic and additionally provide a brief snapshot of their own successful careers. Most importantly, speakers will also highlight some of the strategies that enabled them to progress through to senior management and navigate the challenges of their chosen field.
Attendance at EBBs is by invitation only. Invitees are selected from our Professional Development and Training Program, from organisational nominations and from our EBB register. If you would like to register your interest to attend you can do so online here.
Currently EBBs are held in Canberra and will be considered in other locations subject to demand.
