Join the Zonta Brisbane Breakfast Club to hear Madonna share her first hand experiences and anecdotes from interviewing leading women – from politicians to CEOs to international sportswomen – to calming the anger of a talk back caller!
Her experiences allow Madonna to provide a fascinating yet entertaining keynote about the challenges and lessons she has learnt from the women she has interviewed along the way.
