Join us for a laid-back chat where former CEO of Teenage Cancer Trust, Kate Collins, spills the tea on all things NFP leadership!
Leadership, Visibility, Loss, and What Comes Next
Join me for a candid and thoughtful conversation with Kate Collins, outgoing CEO of Teenage Cancer Trust, as we explore nonprofit leadership as it’s actually lived — not just how it’s described in job ads or strategy decks.
After 16 years with the organisation, including navigating pandemics, financial downturns, complex coalitions, major fundraising growth, and cultural resets, Kate brings hard-won experience from the frontline of leadership.
This session will explore:
- Leadership over time — and how it changes you
- Imposter syndrome and self-doubt at senior levels
- Leading growth, managing deficits, and making tough calls
- Balancing celebrity, brand, and cause integrity
- Culture, governance, and values under pressure
- Loss & resilience moments
- Stepping away from a defining role — and what comes next
Who Should Attend?
This session is for:
- Nonprofit CEOs and senior leaders
- Emerging leaders and managers
- Fundraisers navigating growth and pressure
- Trustees and board members
- Consultants and advisers to the sector
- Anyone curious about what leadership really asks of us
Whether you are leading now, aspiring to lead, or supporting leaders, this conversation will offer insight, reassurance, and practical reflection.
Brisbane time: 7.30 am on Thursday 19th
UK time: 9.30 pm on Wednesday 18th
