Women’s Leadership Programme

We know that great people equals great business. We also know that we want to hold on to our diverse mix of talent, develop them and help them grow within our industry. It’s why we continue to strive for better statistics and outcomes in diversity and inclusion, and why we seek to support more women into leadership roles.

The statistics have not shifted significantly over the last decade and the government looks soon to follow Australia and UK in mandating we report these statistics.  As we’ve seen it work there and we know what gets measured, gets done.

Yet women say they often feel like they don’t ‘fit in’ in male dominated environments.  They can’t always find the voice to speak up or challenge and often confess to second guessing and doubting their abilities, despite their capability.  Many women still carry more of the load at home and are more likely to suffer burnout in a bid to prove themselves and juggle the expectations placed upon them both at work and at home.  As a result they don’t always volunteer for professional development or ask for support in career progression.  They can struggle with self promotion, they are often victims of the ‘double bind’ and if also an introvert or minority group those struggles are amplified.

I’m fortunate enough to be working with some forward thinking organisations across New Zealand over this year to change this.  To increase their representation of women around the leadership table and help them deliver on their diversity and inclusion agenda.

This is a unique, highly sough after programme and available inhouse tailored to your specific challenges.
