In September, Opportunity International Australia launched a new initiative to connect with our network of incredible women, and men invested in women, to learn about purpose, leadership and women’s empowerment.

Titled TransformHER, the series kicked off with an online event with guest speaker Peta Taylor from The Karuna Collective giving her insights and tips on how to unlock your potential and find joy and purpose in your work.

Hosted by Nicole Clements, Head of Marketing and Communications at Opportunity and former ABC journalist, the online event brought more than 50 women and men together to connect in their mission to empower women.

Joining the event was Loralle Slater, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at RedZed, one of Opportunity’s valued corporate partners. Loralle spoke about female leadership and taking the time to invest in people as being a great strength of her organisation.

The Karuna Collective Founder and CEO Peta Taylor, first heard about the work of Opportunity helping women with small loans when she worked at SilverChef, a long term corporate partner of Opportunity. The work of Opportunity resonated strongly with Peta, empowering women in their own businesses.

“Using business as a force for good and Opportunity’s focus on providing microloans to empower women experiencing poverty globally resonates with my vision of creating sustainable change and fostering economic independence so that every woman has the opportunity to thrive,” said Peta.

The next TransformHER event will be held on 20 November at 7pm online with guest speaker Alana Nicholls from Pro Purpose, who will talk about connecting purpose to your business. Opportunity is happy to partner with Pro Purpose who help small and medium businesses connect their brands with generosity.
