Confident and Connected

Thriving in Tech Without the Fear

These slides are from a practical and interactive workshop designed by Hayley Brinicombe and Rebecca Fox to help people thrive in their careers without the fear.

The material introduces simple tools and techniques to feel less overwhelmed, better equipped, more confident, and further connected. It explores the common barriers that can hold us back, highlights the importance of balancing people, process and technology, and introduces the Thrive Five pillars:

  • Environment & Self – shaping the spaces and influences around us

  • Skills & Experience – building and sharpening the tools we use

  • Consistency & Planning – creating momentum through steady progress

  • Behaviours & Actions – turning intent into positive habits

  • Values & Goals – defining what truly matters and setting direction

Alongside reflection questions and group activities, the slides also share practical frameworks such as E+R=O (Event + Response = Outcome), SHED (Sleep, Hydration, Exercise, Diet), and the A-Game principles to build confidence and resilience.

The aim: to leave every participant with clarity, realistic next steps, and the belief that you’ve got this.
