Hard Hats, High Heels & Big Ideas: Leadership for a New Era

By The Content Muse

Imagine a room filled with the future of Australia’s construction, energy and engineering—only this time, it’s powered by women. That’s exactly what the upcoming Leadership Summit: Women in Construction, Engineering & Energy promises on Thursday, 28 August 2025, at the nbn® Office in Docklands.

The day kicks off with a strong shot of barista-brewed coffee and builds towards a crescendo of insights, real talk, and inspiration. Lisa Chiba, CEO of Momentum Energy, and Noreen Islam, APAC Technical Director Honeywell Process Solutions, will headline the summit with powerful keynotes on redefining leadership in industries historically shaped by men.

An all-star panel featuring senior leaders from Viva Energy, Origin Energy, BHP and AusNet will tackle the tough conversations—career progression, sponsorship, the future of the industries and the power of mentoring in achieving your goals.

But it’s not just talk. With interactive workshops including Leading from Within, an exclusive Roy Morgan market insights session, and a future-forward session on AI’s role in leadership, the summit equips you to lead with data, courage, and vision.

The day winds down with a celebratory wine tasting—because leadership is as much about connection as it is about capability.
