CEO BUSINESS BREAKFAST
Sunshine Coast CEO Business Breakfast · Wed 22 July 2026
🕒 Duration: 3.5 hours 📍 Location: Wharf Events
You built a good business. It still can't run without you in the middle of it.
The decisions that bottleneck on you. The accountability that evaporates. The strategy that lives in one room and the culture that lives in another. You absorb all of it, because the business still works. Absorbing it has become the job. And it is wearing you down.
This is not a people problem. It never was. It is a structure problem. And it is about to stop hiding.

JCI Perth - Leadership Masterclass
Keynote: It's Time to Lead Different.
"You don't change things by fighting the existing reality. You build a new model that makes the old model obsolete." — Buckminster Fuller
Most business owners are running a model built for a world that no longer exists. The frameworks, the systems, the playbooks...they were designed for compliance. For control. For a version of work that's already dead.
Dave Clare isn't here to improve your model. He's here to make it obsolete, and show you exactly what replaces it.
CEO BUSINESS BREAKFAST - SUNSHINE COAST
This morning is run by Dave Clare. Thirty years a leadership practitioner across three continents. International Chair of the Intercontinental Chamber of Commerce. APAC Ambassador for the Global Company Culture Association. Named Most Influential Purpose-Driven Leadership Development Speaker at the 2026 Australian CEO Excellence Awards.
Not a theorist. A practitioner who has done this in the room, in five countries, for thirty years.
Closing keynote - Redefining HR’s role: The future of HR doesn’t need a seat at the table
HR has spent decades fighting for a seat at the table. But what if the future isn’t about having a seat, it’s about being in every seat?
This session provides an overview on AI, leadership, and workforce readiness, reframing what comes next for the profession. By seeing people as humans first, employees second, HR moves from managing resources to enabling leaders to embed human-centred thinking in everything they do.
It’s not about overseeing the experience people bring to work, but shaping the experience they have and the sense of belonging they feel.
Dave Clare - You Don't Answer to Someone. You Answer to Something
*You Don't Answer to Someone. You Answer to Something.*
What if leadership isn't about who you report to, but what you stand for? In this session, Dave explores what happens when leaders anchor to purpose first—not position. When everyone answers to something bigger than themselves, leadership stops being about hierarchy and becomes about depth. Self, team, business. All-around, not top-down.
