Industry Insight Symposium (Adelaide November)
We warmly invite you to the Industry Insight Symposium in Adelaide - an evening of networking and knowledge-sharing.
About this event
Join us for an exclusive event delving into the dynamic world of careers in the resources sector! We're thrilled to present an insightful session led by Kate Hobbs MAusIMM.
Kate Hobbs is a senior professional with over twenty years' experience in the mining sector spanning a wide variety of roles. She is well known for constructively challenging individuals and teams in ways that see them develop themselves and achieve more than they believed was possible. As a recovering perfectionist, Kate knows all too well the deep held desire that most people have to contribute as best they can to a team's success. As a leader, colleague, mentor and change maker, she regularly experiences firsthand how the drive to do well can undermine an individual's and team's performance.
Join us as Kate shares her own journey to where she is today as a respected leader in mining. Along the way, she will provide insight into how sometimes we can get in our own way and what strategies we can use to be the best we can be, as an individual and a member of a successful team.
Following the presentation, participants will have the unique opportunity to engage in a Q&A session, gaining further insights and advice directly from our expert.
Hosted by the New Professionals Network, this event is meticulously curated to provide an inclusive and informative experience for all attendees. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned pro, this is your chance to gain inspiration and valuable insights from our guest speaker's journey.

She has degrees in Marketing, International Studies and a Master of Mining Engineering. Kate is also a qualified Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt, an Australian Institute of Company Directors graduate, and a Fellow of the SA Leadership Institute’s Governors Leadership Foundation.

The time with Core followed a five-year period of working with OZ Minerals across a variety of roles, including as Prominent Hill’s Studies Manager.
