A private leadership community for senior decision makers across Sydney
Off The Record brings senior leaders together for candid conversations about leadership, people, business growth, finance, technology and the challenges that rarely get discussed publicly.
Leadership conversations without the performance
Leadership can be isolating. The most difficult decisions are often the ones that cannot be discussed openly inside a business, shared on LinkedIn or reduced to a neat conference presentation.
Off The Record is a private leadership community created by Elements Recruitment for senior professionals across Sydney. Each conversation brings together relevant peers to discuss what is actually happening inside their organisations, what is changing and where leaders need better answers.
The format is deliberately simple: no stage, no slide deck and no sales pitch. Just thoughtful people sharing experience, testing ideas and leaving with practical insight they can use.
Continue the conversation
The conversation does not have to end when a roundtable finishes. The private LinkedIn group gives members a place to stay connected, hear about upcoming sessions and continue discussing the issues affecting senior leaders across Sydney.
What makes Off The Record different
Sessions are intentionally limited so every participant can contribute, challenge ideas and have a genuine conversation.
Off The Record is not a lead-generation seminar. The value comes from the quality of the room and the honesty of the discussion.
Groups are shaped around common responsibilities, sectors or challenges so each discussion remains useful and grounded.
Members can stay connected through the private LinkedIn group between roundtables and continue the conversation.
Who joins the community
Off The Record is designed for people making decisions that affect teams, customers, operations and business performance.
The conversations that matter
Each roundtable focuses on a specific issue, with discussion led by the experience and questions of the people in the room.
