Career Transitions Sydney

From At a Crossroads? Let's Talk About It

How many years does it take to discover whether you're better suited to founding a startup, joining a fast-growing company, becoming a consultant, building a social enterprise, or forging your own unconventional path? What if you could explore them all in just two hours? Join us for an interactive, game-based experience where you'll rotate through a series of career pathway stations, each designed to simulate a different world of work. Through mini-games, discussions, and real conversations with others, you'll gain a feel for what each path demands and whether it excites you. Think of it as part networking event, part career expo, and part workshop. Rather than committing months or years to discover what fits, you'll have the chance to experiment in a safe, low-risk environment. Ask the difficult questions, challenge your assumptions, and explore possibilities without real-world consequences. Whether you're curious about launching a startup, finding a co-founder, becoming a specialist consultant or contractor, joining an ambitious scale-up, or pursuing another direction altogether, you will get value from knowing the rewards what each path offers. 🎟️ Register to attend: [https://luma.com/9mptle28](https://luma.com/9mptle28) **WHO THIS IS FOR:** * students exploring future career options * early-career professionals seeking direction * people considering change or transition * aspiring founders and entrepreneur enthusiasts * anyone searching for purpose * curious minds who enjoy games and hands-on activity Expect meaningful conversations, plenty of networking, and snacks to keep the ideas flowing. 🎟️ Register to attend: [https://luma.com/9mptle28](https://luma.com/9mptle28) **ABOUT THE HOST** ***Jonathan Lee*** is an experience designer, facilitator, and founder of Utopia Rising, with over 25 years of involvement in personal development.

The Life You Built. What's Next? an intimate dinner for people in reinvention

Mon, Aug 31, 8:30 AM

4.7

🎟️ This is a ticketed event. Tickets are $110 (includes a welcome drink & dinner) and are purchased on Humanitix **an RSVP on Meetup does not reserve your seat.** Book your spot here → [https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention](https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention) We're seeing a shift: in culture, in trust, in work, even in how we relate to time. This is an intimate gathering for a small group of people who feel a little disconnected from their current chapter. Maybe it's work. Maybe it's the sheer volume of change these last couple of years. Perhaps it's a quieter sense of lost purpose, or lost continuity and the feeling of starting to wonder what's next. This is an evening to share where we are: how we got here. Talk about that we may not know where to go next. A friendly conversation about that space in the middle. You feel like something's shifting. A sense that what you built isn't quite what fits anymore, and you're starting to wonder what's next. This is a dinner for that feeling, that moment in life. Ten to fifteen people around one table, a warm room, and an honest conversation about the in-between: where you've been, what's changed, and what might be calling now. No stage, no expert, no fixing. Just real talk between people quietly navigating the same thing. **What we'll explore:** * What still feels true about the life you've built, and what's started to feel inherited or not something you want to keep doing. * What you might design differently, starting from who you are now **Who this is for:** * Professionals who feel that what they've built no longer quite fits * People sensing a quiet identity shift, curious about what's next * Anyone in the "I did all the things I was supposed to do, but something doesn't feel right" middle **What to expect:** * An intimate dinner: 10 to 15 people around one table * A welcome drink on arrival, dinner, and a guided, honest conversation * Safe, confidential, judgment-free: share what you want, or just listen * A chance to find connection with like-minded people and be part of a community of people wanting to reinvent themselves **What this is NOT:** * Therapy, crisis support, or coaching * A networking event * A pre-set framework, or a quick fix * A sales pitch 👉 Reminder: RSVP-ing on Meetup doesn't hold a seat. This is a ticketed dinner, secure your place ($110, includes welcome drink & dinner) on Humanitix: [https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention](https://events.humanitix.com/the-life-you-built-what-s-next-an-intimate-dinner-for-people-in-reinvention)

Earning Influence: Why Strong Design work doesn't move the room

Tue, Aug 18, 8:00 AM

4.7

Welcome Back CCX Sydney to our events for 2026 from myself, Lydia, Sylvia and James and we are planning a bumper selection of speakers for this year. Our next event on August 18th will feature two unique presentations from Designers Dan Whelan and Ariel Blackman both from Commonwealth Bank. We will be hosting by the Team at Hipages special thanks to Carlos Guedes and Natalia Furtado. Our first Talk from CBA Product Design leader, Dan Whelan: **Earning Influence: Why Strong Design Work Doesn't Move the Room** **About Dan's Talk** You're doing great work. Decisions move on without you anyway. Here's why — and what has to be true before that changes. It's easy to assume that if the work is good enough, it earns its own influence. It doesn't. Design gets described, by default, in process terms — what was explored, tested, shipped — while the room is listening for risk, revenue and consequence, meaning how we describe the work to each other isn't the value our stakeholders want to see. Good work can fail to move a decision, because how it's described isn't connected to the decision's value. This talk covers the two things that usually get in the way of making your work land. First, the translation problem: why the same piece of work, described two different ways, gets two completely different receptions from your non-designer stakeholders. Second, the gap underneath: work that fails to land because it was never linked to key behaviour to start with, it was built around untraceable best practice. This talk covers both, so the next time you do good work, it doesn't get ignored. **About Dan** Dan Whelan is a design leader with 20 years across companies including Intuit and CommBank, and some of Australia's most complex financial products. She writes and speaks on decision quality and behavioural design, helping designers close the gap between doing strong work and having it influence the room. Our second speaker also from CBA will Ariel Blackman, User Experience Designer on Neurodivergent Strategies **About Ariels talk** Neurospicy Awareness, Acceptance & Strategies An honest look at life as a neurodivergent designer. Through personal stories and practical strategies, Ariel shares what she's learned about managing overwhelm, working with her brain instead of against it, and embracing self-acceptance along the way. Expect a mix of lived experience, useful tools, and a healthy dose of neurospicy chaos **About Ariel:** Ariel Blackman is a Product Designer with over 10 years of experience creating digital products and experiences. Alongside her design career, she's spent years learning how to navigate life as a neurodivergent person, developing practical tools and strategies to better understand herself, manage overwhelm, and work with her brain rather than against it. Passionate about sharing lived experiences with honesty, humour, and vulnerability, Ariel enjoys creating spaces where people feel seen, understood, and accepted. She believes that while everyone's experience is different, there is immense value in sharing the strategies and lessons we've learned along the way. Please note that we will be back at Hipages for our August Event so please familiarise yourself with The location and Start Time. We hope to See you in August and are really looking forward to Hearing from both Dan and Ariel.

Escape the Rat Race

Wed, Aug 26, 6:00 AM

You’ve done everything right. Built the career. Earned the title. Carried the responsibility. Kept going. From the outside, your life looks successful. From the inside, however, it feels exhausting. The money is good. The title looks impressive. But deep down, you know this cannot be it. You cannot keep doing this for another 10 years. But walking away feels reckless. There is a mortgage. A family. A reputation. People depending on you. So you stay - not because it is right, but because it feels safer than change. If this resonated with you, let's catch up for a coffee and explore the possibilities to escape the Rat Race to live the life on our own terms.

Sydney: Tech writing in 2005, then 2026, and beyond

Wed, Aug 26, 7:00 AM

From Write the Docs Australia

4.7

Technical writing has changed a lot in the last couple of years. New tools, shifting job titles, restructured teams, and a whole lot of opinions about AI. So what does it actually look like to be a tech writer in 2026? This is the second in a series of relaxed evening meetups where we dig into that question. We've got speakers from inside and outside the tech writing world sharing short talks, followed by open conversation. **For this session**, we're starting with a look way back, as far as 2005. How was it working as a technical writer in 2005, compared to 2026! **Talk: Tech Writing like it is 2005** Remember when technical writers lived in perpetual fear of the blue screen of death erasing three days of work? When “version control” meant emailing Word documents with increasingly creative filenames like “UserGuide_FINAL_v2_REALLY_FINAL_ updated.doc”? This talk takes us back to 2005, when technical writing was equal parts craft and survival skills. This nostalgic journey will cover: * Misplaced tags and reformatting nightmares * The delicate dance of managing conditional text that would mysteriously disappear during PDF generation * The herculean efforts required to generate help files that displayed correctly across the browser landscape * Backup strategies that bordered on paranoia, including the daily ritual of copying work files to storage devices * The logistics of managing review comments scribbled in margins and on sticky notes * A true appreciation of how far we have come as technical communication specialists Seasoned writers will rediscover appreciation for today’s collaborative tools, while newer professionals will gain perspective on the ingenuity and resilience that built the foundation of modern documentation practices. **About Swapnil Ogale** Over the last 20 years, Swapnil has consulted at, and worked with multiple organisations, setting up documentation teams, processes, workflows and toolchains. He initiated the Write the Docs community in Australia and organises meetup events across Australia, and has chaired the annual conference since 2016.
