Author Talk: Blindspotting with Dr Kirstin Ferguson

Join us for an evening with Dr Kirstin Ferguson AM, one of the world’s most respected leadership experts, as she discusses her powerful new book Blindspotting: How to see what others miss — a vital framework for decision-making and leading in uncertain times.
Described as “Australia’s own Brené Brown”, Kirstin brings real-world insight shaped by an extraordinary career — from fighter pilot to CEO and acting chair and deputy chair of the ABC — to explore how we can all become better leaders, and people, by learning to say, 'I don't know...yet.'
In Blindspotting, Kirstin challenges the idea that great leadership is about having all the answers. Instead, she champions curiosity, honesty, and humility as our most powerful tools — in business, politics, relationships, and everyday life.
With stories from high-profile case studies, powerful interviews, and real-world examples, this event is a must for aspiring leaders, changemakers, and anyone ready to see the world, and themselves, with fresh eyes.
