MFA Leadership Series

MFA Leadership Series is all about inspiring, informing and motivating us to continuously grow and become exceptional leaders. 

The Series isn’t a workshop.  The goal of the MFA Leadership Series is to challenge us to think differently.

Our focus is on developing the business and leadership skills of our MFA community. Through a series of events, we aim to motivate, educate, challenge and connect people in our industry. 

The Future of Leadership is Intergenerational.
Are you ready to lead the way?

Melbourne: 17 June 2025
Sydney: 25 June 2025

For the first time, five generations stand together in the workplace - each bringing unique strengths, and ways of seeing the world. Great leadership isn't about managing differences; it’s about unlocking them. When generations collaborate, innovation soars, teams thrive, and lasting impact is made.

Join Gen Z and Gen X duo Kailash and Kamal Sarma, who will share their insights and lived experience.  They will equip you with the tools to lead across generations with confidence.

Kamal & Kailash Sarma: Parallel paths. Polar perspectives. Powerful conversations

Kamal and Kailash Sarma have shared careers in finance, consulting, and public speaking—but their life journeys are remarkably different.

Kamal, born in India, spent seven years as a monk before moving into global leadership, founding Rezilium, and leading initiatives like RUOK? Conversations and MoMentrs.

Kailash, born in Australia, embraced bold expression early, launching a company, writing a book, and inspiring millions through Academy of Speakers and the Men of Tomorrow podcast.

Together, they explore how curiosity, courage, and compassion can bridge generations in a fast-changing world.
