A critical masterclass that enables women in public sector leadership to maximise their influence.

Our popular two-day masterclass for women in the public sector is back! If you’re a leader working in government or with government, this masterclass will help you to lift your influence, voice and profile, and help your teams to do the same.

Facilitated by global experts in helping women leaders strategically and authentically build their visibility to build influence and impact, the masterclass is structured around our three stages of impactful visibility. We will support you towards more effective leadership, unlocking the mindset and practical skills to support more strategic influencing, communication and greater effectiveness, both within organisations and in the outside world. You will walk away clear on your leadership vision and values and hold a deceptively simple but strategic leadership roadmap to better work with or manage your team and take you into the next stage of your career.

While the research shows that women outperform men in most leadership capabilities, they are under-represented in leadership across nearly all levels of government. We want that to change!

Run in partnership with The Mandarin, the program is for mid-level to senior women in the public sector and is for you if you:

Want to see better outcomes for your leadership, team or wider department
Want to build your strategic influence and leadership capability
Want to find new and creative pathways and techniques for navigating hierarchy and gaining buy-in
Know your visibility is a critical enabler of your leadership but aren’t sure how to advance your mindset and skills to have more influence
Are managing diverse stakeholders and sometimes face conflict within your team or other teams
Need to manage up as well as down and want the day-to-day to be more easeful
See members of your team struggling to communicate or influence more widely and want to support them
Know you’re ready to take the next step in your career, life and impact and need a clear roadmap
Feel you need a set of tools, formulas and strategies to manage conflict, challenging behaviours, or being shut down
Want to connect with a community of other women in government and private sectors around Australia
Want to take your wealth of experience and apply it with more impact to a new role or area of impact
Are seeking clarity of focus: knowing your priorities and what’s important
Recognise the importance of visibility that’s not about self-promotion but about influence and communication that serves the difference you want to make
Want to better manage your energy, self-talk, mindset and relationship with yourself
Are yearning to understand the unique importance of your voice in your sphere of influence.
