THE BEST THINKERS ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO SUCCEED IN LIFE
There are strategies for success. Things we know work when they’re applied consistently. They’re age-old strategies, yet they’re not taught in schools, universities or technical colleges. Chances are, your parents didn’t teach you either. Not because they didn’t want to, just because no one taught them. In fact, it’s surprising how few people know and use them.
Join us for a comprehensive Masterclass that delves into the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity. This session will provide an in-depth exploration of the ever-evolving world of cyber threats.
During this Masterclass, attendees will acquire invaluable knowledge regarding the constantly shifting strategies employed by cybercriminals, as well as the cutting-edge technologies and approaches embraced by cybersecurity professionals to counter these threats.

Few people embark on mid-life career changes as dramatic and inspiring as Dr Barry Kirby AO.
Barry was a 40-year-old carpenter working in Papua New Guinea (PNG) when he witnessed the devastating preventable death of a woman who was outcast from her village. He decided there and then that PNG needed more doctors than carpenters; that he needed to study medicine; and return as a rural doctor in PNG. It took 2 degrees and 12 years and he kept his word.
Mothers having difficulty in childbirth is a challenge for rural doctor in PNG so Barry undertook a diploma in obstetrics and gynaecology in order to be better equipped to deal with obstetric emergencies. He investigated over 30 past maternal deaths to see if they could have been prevented. The knowledge and insight gained from this study was a watershed moment. He would form The Hands of Rescue (THOR) organisation to address the needs of rural women giving birth in remote health centres and prevent maternal deaths.
