Women in the Australian workforce
The statistics are sobering.
Women make up 46% of the Australian workforce but only account for 3.5% of the ASX200 CEOs.
< 15% of panellists in Australia are women.
< 12% of experts cited in business newspapers are women.
And yet companies with higher proportions of women board directors outperform those with lower proportions by 53%.
The evidence is clear: diversity drives better outcomes for business and the community.
So this is not just a moral imperative; it is a source of competitive advantage.
The Panel Pledge is a national initiative addressing the 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. Your Leadership Voice addresses particular challenges facing women in leadership positions. This highly interactive and practical program will equip women with the tools, techniques and support they need to step up and stand out.

Testimonial
"This learning experience has without doubt been the most valuable of my professional career. The impact for me has been in the timing, intensity and learning through the lens of a women’s perspective in business and as a leader. The practical skills that I have learned and the alumni network I now have access to, have been transformational in helping me to guide my business into a confident and controlled growth phase.
This course has delivered the largest step change in my thinking as a woman entrepreneur. My leadership voice has never been as clear, nor as confident as it is now."
