Hunger Project's Vision to Action Workshop

Featuring

Cathy Burke

Cathy Burke

Global Leader of Partnerships, The Hunger Project

As CEO for The Hunger Project Australia (now Global Leader of Partnerships for The Hunger Project) for nearly two decades, it has been Cathy Burke’s privilege to travel extensively across the villages of Africa and South Asia in her work of ending hunger. She has been profoundly changed by what she has experienced. The women and men she has met have given her the most enduring lessons in life and leadership.

Cathy’s perspective on leadership is surprising and profound. We have what it takes – right now – to heal our world. This is as relevant for a work culture, a family dynamic and personal change. If illiteracy, poverty, malnutrition are not a barrier to affecting visionary change, then what are we truly capable of? How can we connect across the world and support each other as leaders? Cathy writes, speaks, and leads workshops globally on these questions around transformational leadership. She is honest, real, and very human. She offers a way for us to step into the power we each have to make a difference in our lives, organisations and community.

Cathy has received numerous accolades for her work on leadership, including winning the prestigious 2014 Westpac and Australian Financial Review 100 Women of Influence Award.

She also holds a number of senior leadership roles within the organisation globally. Prior to working at The Hunger Project, Cathy worked in her own business, and in Federal politics as a Senate campaign manager, lobbyist and policy strategist.

Cathy's first book, Unlikely Leaders: Lessons in Leadership from the Village Classroom, was published in 2015 and is available at select bookshops or online at www.cathyburke.com

Event Details

Are you an executive, entrepreneur, intrapreneur or someone looking for inspiration on how to create a vision for your life, your business, your community, or the world and how to realise that vision by taking action? This workshop by The Hunger Project Australia has your name all over it - and all proceeds from ticket sales for this event go to The Hunger Project's work creating a sustainable end to chronic, persistent hunger.

Coinciding with World Hunger Day on 28 May, the session will kick off with a three-hour interactive Vision to Action workshop led by Cathy Burke (Vice President and Global Leader, Partnerships, The Hunger Project) and Glen Carlson (award-winning entrepreneur, speaker and Co-Founder, Key Person of Influence). 

The workshop is inspired by the Vision, Commitment, Action (VCA) workshops that The Hunger Project run across Africa and Bangladesh with our village partners. The VCA's are a key component to The Hunger Project's innovative technology behind shifting the mindsets of people living in chronic hunger and poverty from resignation and despondency to optimism and empowerment, so that they can see that they have the power and agency to end their own hunger. This is the first – and most critical - step in the approach to creating sustainable and transformative change. To date over 4.1 million people across Africa and Bangladesh have participated in a VCA workshop.

The workshop will be followed by a 45 minute panel discussion with an extraordinary lineup of guest speakers including:

You are invited to join the conversation with them about their vision and what it took to make it a reality.

Although we are not suffering from chronic, persistent hunger in Australia, we are still all hungry for something. It could be a hunger for more purpose, meaning, love, creativity, confidence, the list goes on. Through the Vision to Action workshops, The Hunger Project will share some incredible lessons and insights from its village partners in Africa and Bangladesh about the adversity they have conquered by shifting their mindset. We'll incorporate these lessons as we guide you through steps to create your own vision, commitment and actions towards unlocking your leadership, creativity and capacity to live a bigger life.

Through this workshop, you can:

  • Shift your mindset to open up new possibilities for yourself
  • Unlock your leadership, creativity and capacity to live a bigger life
  • Discover what’s been holding you back from fulfilling your potential
  • See a future for you and your life beyond what you see currently
  • Get emboldened to your own power to create that future
  • Take a stand for something you want in your life or for your community
  • Identify clear and immediate actions you can take to realise your vision

What are you hungry for? What is holding you back from getting it? Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to lift the lid off what's possible and realising your full potential. 

The Hunger Project is a global strategic non-government organisation with a mission to end hunger by 2030. The Hunger Project empowers women and men living in remote, rural villages globally to unlock their leadership, capacity and creativity to end their own hunger. Check out our website for more information.

Light refreshments and drinks will be provided.
