Your Leadership Voice: Women in Focus
Standout seven-day program for female leaders (February 2019)
In Australia men hold the majority of senior leadership positions.
The Panel Pledge is a national initiative seeking to address this imbalance for women in public and professional forums. Another gender equity initiative is the Male Champions of Change, where prominent Australian leaders have committed to increasing women's visibility and accelerating their professional advancement.
Your Leadership Voice: Women in Focus reflects this national priority. As a highly interactive, practical program, it will enable and elevate a diverse group of businesswomen and female leaders with the tools, techniques, support and self-confidence they need to step up and stand out.
