Kick off Southbeats with a warm welcome and an overview of what to expect over the next two tracks. 

Join Peter and Diana as they share what great leadership looks like at BAT and across APMEA South and why now is the time to turn on your growth. They’ll share how A Better You isn’t just a concept but our commitment to helping every employee grow with purpose, and a key part of how we’ll deliver on BAT’s evolving strategy. 

Leadership isn’t just for people with titles—it’s for everyone. In this high-energy session, Sonia introduces the Leadership Capabilities and shows why they matter at every level. You’ll, see how these behaviors show up across your career and take a moment to reflect on the leader you want to become. 

We’ll wrap up the first track with highlights, reveal top participants, and let them spin the wheel to win prizes! 

We’re picking up right where we left off. Get ready to dive deeper, apply what you've started, and keep building toward A Better You.

Choose two leadership capabilities you feel strongest in and join their booths for a live, 35-minute interactive session. In breakout activity you’ll reflect on how you already use these behaviors and help co-create simple, practical tips that others can apply in everyday work.

Each person can join two booths, one after the other.

Live Session Times:

• Round 1: 12:05 pm – 12:40 pm AEST
• Round 2: 12:45 pm – 1:20 pm AEST

Growth doesn’t have to be a mystery. In this energizing two-part session, we’ll unpack what the Talent Model in BAT really means: from how your capabilities, performance, and potential connect, to what readiness, mobility, and aspiration look like in action.

Then, stick around for a lively fireside chat with colleagues from across the South as they bust some common myths about growth. Real talk, real stories, and insights you can actually use.

We’ll wrap up Tracks A & B with a quick recap, key takeaways, and a look at what’s next. There’s also a fun Spin Wheel draw for our top engaged participants.
