IWD 2026 - Balance the Scales: Empowered Leadership & Wellbeing

This year’s International Women’s Day event will explore what it truly means to balance the scales — not only in workplaces and leadership roles, but in everyday life, families, and communities.

Through Liv Phyland’s story and insights, the focus will be on how confidence, wellbeing, and self-belief are essential foundations for empowerment. Leadership will be framed not just as formal job titles, but as the way women lead in their homes, businesses, communities, and personal lives.

The conversation will recognise that women carry many roles — professional, caregiver, volunteer, community leader, and advocate — and that true equity means creating environments where women can thrive in all of them.

By broadening the lens beyond employment alone, Balance the Scales: Empowered Leadership & Wellbeing will celebrate the collective impact of women across business, family, and community — and inspire practical ways to create fairer, healthier, and more inclusive futures.
