Welcome to our Dietitians Unite 2022 edition of Infuse !
It ’ s hard to believe we ’ re almost half-way through 2022 – or that our best day of the year , Dietitians Unite , is here again . We ’ re thrilled to be hosting Kemi Nekvapil as our closing speaker at Dietitians Unite , and have even been lucky enough to recently chat to Kemi on the DC podcast . Kemi is one of Australia ’ s leading credentialed coaches for female executives and entrepreneurs , an author and a highly sought-after international speaker . She has studied leadership and purpose at The Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan and trained with Dr Brené Brown to become a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator , working with teams and organisations to create daring leaders and courageous cultures .
Kemi has recently launched her third book , Power , which is a woman ’ s guide to living and leading without apology . In her book , Kemi outlines 26 action-oriented power processes designed to help you to step into your own power . These were the ones that resonated with me most and I am putting into practice :
• What one action could you take today to add more delight to your day ? I don ’ t stop enough to smell the roses and celebrate the wins . I am creating more delight in my every day by taking my Shetland Sheepdog , Summer , on an hour walk in the morning to the local coffee shop ( where she gets lots of pats ).
• What one action can you take today that will allow you to pause ? Lately I have been intentionally choosing to slow down and not be “ busy ” all the time , which has involved hitting pause on my email inbox . For this email queen , that has been extremely challenging , but definitely worthwhile !
• What one action can you take today to power up your language ? I am a chronic over-apologiser . Since reading Kemi ’ s book , I ’ m reflecting on my language and choosing my words carefully based on the nature of the situation , which might mean there is no need for an apology .

We are so honoured to have Kemi as part of our Dietitians Unite line up – and although it ’ s via cyberspace , we know we ’ ll still have a magical day .
We look forward to finally being together once again in Melbourne in 2023 !
