Melanie Mansfield • June 1, 2026
Thank you to everyone who attended our fantastic breakfast event and celebrated 10 years of Mansfield & Co with us.
Our keynote speaker Rebecca Christianson presented “The New Leadership Paradigm – Why the Old Rules No Longer Work”, exploring nine elements of this new leadership paradigm, and how this framework can fundamentally shift how we lead, influence and deliver outcomes in an increasingly complex world.
We were also joined by a panel of exceptional leaders who shared their perspectives and experiences. A special thank you to:
- Kathryn Keenihan, Junction Australia
- Matthew Evans, Agilex Biolabs
- Shari Dayton, CMV Group
We were thrilled to have so many South Australian leaders and familiar faces join us for a morning of networking, inspiration and insightful conversation.
