Momentum 2025

Taking the Chance to Reset and Carve a Clear Way Forward

Each year, Momentum gives us the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and reconnect — not just with each other, but with the bigger picture of Peoplebank and Leaders IT family.


This year we were on the Central Coast of New South Wales, where we brought our teams from across the business together to reflect, realign, and re-energise around our shared goals and future direction.


Day One


We opened with a reflection on 2024 — acknowledging how far we’ve come, how our businesses have evolved, and the key moments that shaped the year.


We followed this with two engaging panel discussions featuring our team: the first explored how integrating personal passions can fuel professional success, while the second examined the habits and mindset of our high performers across the group.


Day Two


Shifted our focus toward transformation. We explored what it will take to evolve our business landscape for the future, with a highlight session from Laura Byrne, who walked us through our digital strategy roadmap and the exciting new innovations to expect in 2025.


The day closed with a forward-focused panel unpacking how we can harness the power of AI and data to drive smarter decisions and better outcomes across everything we do.


Looking Ahead


Momentum gave us the space to ask important questions, challenge each other’s thinking, and create a shared vision for how we’ll continue to grow — as individuals, as teams, and as a business.


But what truly stood out was the energy in the room — the openness, curiosity, and shared commitment to pushing ourselves and each other forward.


We’re returning to our day-to-day roles with purpose, clarity, and yes — momentum.


Now, it’s time to turn ideas into action!
