Event Overview
The skills, the conversations, and the plan.
Doing good work is not enough. The women who advance are the ones who know how to build visibility, influence the right people, and have the conversations that shape careers. In a landscape of AI disruption, constrained resources, and relentless change, leaders need more than resilience, they need a practical toolkit for the situations that actually decide who moves up. This program is designed to give women leaders exactly that: the skills, the conversations, and the plan.
The Women in Leadership Executive Masterclass is a two-day, in-person program for women who want to stop waiting for recognition and start driving their own advancement. Run across two days, three weeks apart, delegates work in a small cohort with an experienced facilitator, use one practical tool per module, and apply what they learn at work before returning for Day 2 with real results. This is not theory, it is a tested, structured path from capable to promoted.
This program is suitable for women at multiple levels. Whether you’re a manager ready to step into a director role, a director positioning for the executive table, or a specialist transitioning into leadership, this program will accelerate your growth through intensive in-person sessions, real-world application, and a 12-month plan you’ve already started using before you leave the room.
Two days of learning. A toolkit for every day after.
Walk away with practical frameworks, ready-to-use resources and personalised 90-day and 12-month action plans to strengthen your leadership, navigate challenges and accelerate your career long after the program ends.
