About this act
Connie Paglianiti's subject is the second chance, and she has little patience for the polite version of that conversation. She speaks on reinvention, stigma, gambling harm, ageing out of relevance and what it actually takes to bring someone back into a workforce. Her talks include Red Flags in Plain Sight, on spotting risk before it becomes a crisis, Second Chances, on hiring beyond the checkbox without dropping standards or safety, and Stigma at Work, on how everyday language and rigid policy quietly do damage. Audiences get useful questions rather than a pep talk. She brings her own laptop, adapter and clicker, and can present without slides or without amplification in a small room. She holds a current Working with Children Check in Victoria.
