Leadership Masterclass: Confidence in Action | Finding
Your Voice & Creating Opportunities

Monday 2 November 11:30 am–1:30 pm
City Tower, T0715 Collaborative 📍

Join Kano Ravalji for an interactive masterclass
exploring how embracing who you are can help you build confidence, strengthen
your connections and step outside your comfort zone.

Discover how your unique experiences can become strengths
as you take your next steps in study, leadership and your future career.

Through practical activities and honest conversations,
you’ll learn how to:

· recognise the value of your own story and identity
· build confidence in unfamiliar environments
· overcome fear of judgement and put yourself forward for
opportunities
· create meaningful connections with people from diverse
backgrounds
· take action towards your personal, academic and career
goals.

Australia, a youth-led organisation supporting young people to explore culture,

Moving to Australia from India at seven, Kano’s
experience of navigating different cultures shaped his passion for helping
young people find their voice and create opportunities.

A former Victorian Youth Commissioner and award-winning
speaker, Kano has been recognised as a VicHealth Future Changemaker and Wyndham
