MBA Fireside Chat

Join RMIT Online for a relaxed fireside chat with Shaun Spence, Director of Funding at Bendigo Health, hosted by MBA program manager Deepak Sardana.

Thinking about your next career step, but not sure what it should look like yet?

Join us for an online MBA Fireside chat, featuring Shaun Spence, Director of Fundraising, for an honest conversation about leadership, progression and stepping into more strategic roles as your career grows. Shaun will share real-world perspectives from across his career, including how leadership expectations change over time, what hiring managers look for when promoting into senior roles, and how structured learning has supported his own progression and confidence in complex decision-making.

The discussion will explore:

  • How leaders navigate complexity and uncertainty as responsibility increases
  • The shift from specialist to strategic leadership
  • What signals readiness for senior roles
  • Where many professionals feel skill gaps as they step up

We’ll close with a short conversation with MBA Program Manager Deepak, unpacking what you actually learn in an MBA and how studying with RMIT Online fits alongside full-time work.

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions live.
