Education Events in Parkes

Give your brain a workout and come along to Parkes Library's new Brain Training program, happening every Wednesday morning.

Ladies Who Lead is an in-person workshop for women ready to communicate with clarity, confidence, and calm without burning out or shrinking themselves. This experience gives you time away from the noise to slow down, sharpen your voice, and connect with other women who want to be heard clearly and confidently. This workshop is practical and easy to apply. You'll leave with clear tools to communicate with confidence, a stronger, steadier voice, more ease when speaking, better listening, and connection with others. You'll leave feeling clear, calm, and confident in your voice.
