Brave Nadia Bartel will step back into public life this week at a candid in-conversation event in Melbourne.
Bartel’s appearance at the Mercedes Benz Melbourne “Women Driving Change” luncheon on Wednesday will mark her first time in the spotlight since the shock split from husband, former AFL star Jimmy Bartel.
Nadia is also believed to be in the mix for Channel 7’s Brownlow Medal red carpet coverage next month.
The luncheon, organised before Bartel’s marriage breakdown became public, will delve into the professional and personal lives of the participants; fashion celebrity Nadia, businesswoman and former Western Bulldogs vice president Susan Alberti, and property developer and architect Adelene Teh.
The guest speakers have been briefed on talking points including relationships, motherhood, careers, work-life balance, and successes and struggles with being leaders in their respective fields.
Given the split, the panel discussion will be difficult for Nadia, but it’s understood the mother of two young boys has told event organisers she wants to share her experiences as an agent of change.
