Be inspired by bestselling author Bella Zanesco

Bestselling author and 2018 SCU Vice Chancellor’s Alumnus of the Year, Bella Zanesco is set to inspire at our next networking event in Brisbane this month.

Before she takes to the stage, we wanted to introduce you to her work and what you can expect from her keynote speech, “The Future is Human”.

 

Who is Bella?

Bella is a creative connoisseur of health, high-performance and full self-expression. With a depth of experience from 20 years operating at the top of international business, the arts and sport, she will be sharing her biggest learnings so far.

Why is the future human?

In her keynote speech, Bella will be breaking down the definition of Fully Expressed Leadership. Expanding on how this type of leadership is the modern-day approach to nurturing engaged, inspired and sustainably high-performing leaders. She will touch on the need for a new breed of leader - people who inspire the imagination by working in harmony with their own humanity. Leaders who are unafraid to bring their whole selves to work, and who bring the same care and compassion to themselves as they do to those around them.

About SCU Online’s Networking Events

This event is the second in a series of networking events. SCU Online heard the need from their students that they wanted more opportunities to engage face-to-face with fellow students and academics, so SCU Online Networking Events was born, and the inaugural event kicked off in September 2018 with a keynote speech from Former Facebook MD Steven Scheeler.

The event was hosted in Sydney and live-streamed to SCU Online students around the country.

Attendee Maggie Hu said working as a corporate innovator, the key takeaway for her was being inspired to find a tribe of like-minded individuals to influence positive change in her workplace.

“The keynote speaker was fantastic, I think Stephen’s insights around his experiences at Facebook were incredibly enlightening,” she said.
