Bespoke Training: Women in Leadership
Step Up and Maximise Your Impact
Overview
The number of women in leadership positions has been growing steadily. Yet, there is still not equal representation in top executive roles. More than half of civil servants are women, but this decreases as seniority increases.
In these challenging times, strong and effective leadership becomes even more important. Join exceptional women from across the public sector for high impact peer to peer learning. Stretch yourself to become a better leader and propel towards greater performance.
Book this Women in Leadership course for your teams to help them create a personal vision of what it means to be a great leader and enhance your capabilities to meet this challenge. Define values and career goals and develop their leadership styles. Learn to react to opportunities and use practical tips to gain power and influence for stepping-up and progressing further.
Through discussion and practical exercises tailored for your organisation, identify strategies to lead with purpose and conviction. Establish techniques to set boundaries and remain true to your vision. Leave the day with an action plan to become the leader you envisioned and overcome barriers to success.
