Inspirational Woman
On Wednesday 11th September, 110 men and women filled a sold-out room in the amazing venue at the Macquarie Bank building. We gathered to listen to some inspirational women speak about their personal and professional life journey.
First on stage was Adele Creighton, National Head of Healthcare at Macquarie Business Banking. Adele was a professional diver and spoke of the courage it took for her to take to the 10m board and just JUMP. She used the same analogy in her professionallife when she took on her dream job at Macquarie Bank.

Next up was Julie Baker, Snake Boss. At the age of 40, Julia Baker decided to change her life. She wrote herself a bucket list and set out to fulfil it. Within seven years, she'd achieved an advanced diploma in acting; a diploma in marketing with distinction; she'd gained her motorbike licence and bought herself a chopper, and she'd gained her snake handler's licence as well as a wildlife exhibitor's licence.
Julia had even met and married her dream man! Now she's helping others to achieve their bucket list with practical strategies and masses of inspiration.
​
Julia is much loved for her entertaining skills and sense of humour, as well as her brave no-nonsense approach to life and of course her incredible ability to catch and handle the most venomous snakes in Australia.
Julia's mission in life is to prove that no matter what your past or circumstances are,
"if you can dream it - you can achieve it!"

Lisa and Ben Bernacki also took to the stage in a never before shared story of the highs and lows behind their success. They spoke of how they met, having their 4 beautiful boys and how they juggled a family, their marriage and their business. They spoke so beautifully and had the crowd in tears. Well done guys, we know that must have been terrifying.
