If you’ve lived something others could learn from, your story can help someone lead with more confidence. Your experience has power. The most useful ideas in our sector don’t come from theory — they come from real people solving real problems. Every “here’s what we tried” moment strengthens the collective wisdom our community relies on. If you’ve led something, learned something, or lived something others could benefit from, this is your space to share it. Your insights help leaders across Australia and New Zealand make better decisions, try new approaches, and move the sector forward.

Ways to Contribute
Share Your Expertise in the Associations Evolve Journal
Speak at an Event or Webinar
If you have lived through something others could learn from, your story becomes more than an experience it becomes something worth sharing. The Associations Evolve Journal is our annual publication that brings those stories together as a playbook of best practice across the sector with real examples from leaders who have been there and done the work. We are always looking for real experiences from our community, and if you have something worth sharing, it may be a great fit for the blog so others can benefit from it too.
If you have solved a problem or found a better way to do something, sharing it could be exactly what someone else needs. The Leaders Retreat, the Leaders eXchange, and our webinars are all ways to get involved by showing how you approached a challenge or improved something that was not working. Speaking at these sessions is not about being an expert it is simply sharing what you have learnt the wins, the mistakes, and the things you would do differently next time. Your story might be the spark that helps someone else move forward.
