Brylee Langley, Link Lock Learn
As a Mum of two dyslexic children, it has become my mission to help as many children and their families break through the very real barriers and hardships of dyslexia. I have developed a unique teaching method and full learning system that enables dyslexic learners to swiftly and effectively learn to read. Leveraging the far reaching potential of digital technology, it is my vision that this system will incorporate several forms of delivery modes including interactive, educational and game based technologies. In addition, I have written a comprehensive self help book for parents of the dyslexic child to help them navigate the challenges associated with dyslexia.

Cath Nolan, Gender Gap Gone
The gender gap needs work at corporate level and with individual women; we do both, in ways that haven’t been done before.
Corporates want diversity of thought, not just a gender focus. Women want programs outside of hours that speak to their needs. So our Diversity Collective events facilitate the corporate conversation, while our online Career & Leadership programs work directly with individual women.
Our entry product Career Design says Lets Not Be ARSD (at risk of self-doubt) and 25% of each sold goes to funding a program for DV victims. Because they’re even more arsd. https://vimeo.com/222281973

Krissy Ropiha, Her Nourished
I’m Krissy, the FIFO wife, mum of two, nutrition and health coach and Psych grad behind Her Nourished. Her Nourished is a virtual health coaching practice designed to support the busy mum to become the master of her health, get nourishing meals on the table in LESS than 30 minutes and feel balanced in her weight in the process. Her Nourished mums strive for nourishment, but not perfection and they approach wellness with kindness. Eating mostly in flow and occasionally #ebbing allows her to break free from restrictive dieting, deprivation and food fear and instead find an intuitive flow that works for her.
Kristina Cornelius, The Simulation Company
I’m a Registered Nurse and mother to two young daughters, 2 and 4 years. In my role as a simulation technician in a university, I was frustrated that I couldn’t provide a more realistic learning environment for my nursing students. Smarties and Tic Tacs really just didn’t resemble anything the students would find in a real clinical environment. The resources needed just weren’t available. The Simulation Company aims to provide simulated medications that look as close to the real medication as possible in order to create realism in simulated clinical education for health professionals.
