In a world where leadership is often measured by titles and outcomes, Elizabeth Pickworth is redefining it through resilience, empathy, and lived experience.
Founder and Managing Director of Sidelines Consulting & Advisory, Elizabeth brings a rare depth of insight shaped by frontline policing, national security, global conflict reporting, and her personal battle with a rare Stage IV cancer diagnosis. Her journey is not just about navigating change, it’s about mastering it from the inside out.

From the frontlines of the Arab Spring to leading high-stakes government communications, Elizabeth has built her career in environments where clarity, trust, and decision-making are critical. Today, she works with leaders and organizations to navigate complexity, resolve conflict, and build sustainable success rooted in human connection.

Her philosophy is simple yet powerful: success should never come at the cost of humanity. By prioritizing listening, authenticity, and perspective, she helps leaders create environments where people thrive, not just perform.

Elizabeth’s story is a reminder that true leadership isn’t forged in comfort, it’s shaped through adversity, perspective, and the courage to stay human in high-pressure moments.

We’ve all had that point in our career as leaders where we have recognised a talented employee has nowhere further to go within the organisation.

Sometimes the kindest thing you can do as a leader is empower the employee to recognise their skills and experience would be better suited elsewhere.

But how as a leader do you do that?

In this article we show you how to approach the situation with empathy and empowerment for your staff.

Hi all,

We have advertised in the Redcliffe Guide but the pricing is incorrect it should be $1200 for the whole weekend not per day including GST. This includes all sessions and meals/beverages and gifts and the platform booking fee.

We recognise that a lot of people are feeling the pinch with the current fuel crisis and interest rate rises so we will be reducing the cost by $200 making it $1000 for the whole two days until June 1.

Email [email protected] to reserve your discount as this applies for both events. You can also pay in 4.
