KIM Halbert-Pere, CEO and founder of Handy Girl Australia, left the hallowed halls of policy writing and academia with a leap of faith into the world of small business.<\/p>\n
As a panellist at the Australian Women\u2019s Leadership Forum, being held in Ballarat on Friday, 15 March Ms Halbert-Pere will shed light on her brand, both personal and business, of leadership. Confidence is a word often used in her lexicon, in fact it is part of her business brand slogan \u2018we build confidence.\u2019<\/p>\n
Leading by example, Ms Halbert-Pere started Handy Girl Australia with courage and a determination to provide a service to the community showcasing the skills of women in the non-traditional field of handyman services.<\/p>\n
She is truly passionate about helping others to find their own way, inspiring women to have the confidence to have their own tools and tackle their own DIY projects but more importantly the bravery to give things a go.<\/p>\n
\u201cResearch shows women often don\u2019t strive for opportunities to the same degree as men because of a lack of confidence in their own abilities,\u201d Ms Halbert-Pere said. \u201cSometime women sell themselves short, I think confidence is a key skill for leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with four other Ballarat women, from a broad spectrum in the local community, Ms Halbert-Pere will share her take on leadership in a panel discussion aptly titled \u2018Where to from Here.\u2019<\/p>\n
