EXPERIENTIAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR WOMEN

“Some leaders are born women.” – Geraldine Ferraro

 

Our Women’s Leadership Challenge (WLC)
combines personal and professional
development with networking and mentoring,
providing women with the confidence, connections
and skills they need to achieve success in today’s world.

30% more women in management means 15% higher company profits.

It is more important than ever to invest in women and encourage women to invest in themselves. Today, women are better educated than ever before and more are becoming business owners, despite dealing with the confidence gap, gender bias and work-family obligations. Women hold major control over consumer purchasing and have long-term positive impacts on corporate performance, local economies, and the next generation’s welfare. However, they still receive less pay, less financial backing, and are in fewer management positions than men. Now is the time to value and support your female leaders.

INDIVIDUAL OUTCOMES

Our experiential learning programs are designed to give you a physically challenging, intellectually stimulating and emotionally rewarding experience that changes how you see yourself and how you engage with others.  The program provides the conditions in which to quickly learn and apply critical skills and competencies.

  1. Increase effectiveness of your leadership and communication
  2. Align your mission and values with your personal and professional goals.
  3. Make decisions in ambiguous situations and adapt to changing circumstances.
  4. Learn how to develop and manage morale and team cohesion under pressure.
  5. Work with different leadership styles and leverage the strengths of others

FOR INDIVIDUAL WOMEN

INVEST IN YOURSELF

The Women’s Leadership Challenge provides time-poor women an opportunity to connect with themselves and develop a new personal and professional network with other entrepreneurs and small business owners/managers.

Through consequence-based team activities, we provide a safe space where you can just be yourself, hone leadership skills, and enjoy caving, abseiling and yoga in the picturesque regions of Margaret River, the Gippsland, Wee Jasper, the Blue Mountains and the Kimberley.

What matters to us is who you are, not what you are.  Whether you are single, a mother, wife, sister, manager, director, employee, peer or friend – we believe that you are more than your role.  Take the time to invest in yourself to bring focus, success and balance to your life.  Understand what you bring to the world and own who you are.
