This 12-week leadership programme is designed for women in or aspiring to be in a leadership position in private, public and third sector organisations, including those who have been or are currently on a career break.
The program teaches key leadership and management knowledge and skills and introduces participants to strategies and tools developed to equip them to understand their potential and the power of female leadership. Reflecting on individual strengths, developing strong strategic networking skills, understanding individual leadership style and developing strong communication and negotiation skills are key themes that will be covered in this programme that is delivered by assistant professors, coaches, and industry professionals.
With a maximum cohort size of 15, the programme fosters an engaging learning environment. In-person sessions allow for meaningful interaction with facilitators and peers, maximising the learning experience. Through collaborative learning and group coaching sessions, participants enhance their self-awareness, experience a sense of belonging and explore their identity as female leaders as well as building a robust and supportive network.
Enhance your leadership and management skills within a supportive cohort, unlocking your full leadership potential to progress in your career and drive meaningful change within your organisation.
Benefit for organisations:
Research spanning decades shows that gender-balanced leadership brings diverse perspectives, improves communication, enhances decision-making and problem-solving within organisations, and ultimately increases profitability.
Despite progress, achieving equal representation in leadership remains a challenge. According to the UN Sustainability Development Goals Report 2023, it will take 140 years to achieve equal representation in leadership in the workplace. This course serves as a strategic tool for organisations to progress towards strategic goals while enhancing profitability and maintaining competitiveness.
A leadership and management CPD programme designed to create social and economic impact for organisations, society and our region.
