What an honour and a privilege for us to host Robyn Denholm, Chair of Tesla on Tuesday 3 Feb 2026 at Parliament House, in conversation with the brilliant Sarah O’Carroll, Editor in Chief, Forbes Australia. Over 200 women (and of course some men) hung on every word Robyn uttered as she shared insights on leadership skills, how to ask the right questions, how to lead robots and being your authentic self at home and at work. She spoke about how important it is to her to give back and the practical and impactful support she is giving through education, sport and the environment. Robyn said we can all make an impact and it’s often bigger than we think! Chair Yvonne Le Bas and Executive Director Teresa Keating spoke about how proud they are of the growth, impact and influence of our Women in Leadership & Philanthropy network and the fact that the Ireland Funds Globally is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year and here in Australia we celebrate 40 years in 2027. For Charities to not only survive but thrive over that period speaks volumes.
We are so thankful for the opportunity to come together to build our networks and know that we are doing something good at the same time – helping promising young women with educational advancement.
Thank you to our partners Lorraine Christian, Consul General of Ireland, and Lydia Rogers of Enterprise Ireland.
