Foundations of Effective Leadership

NECA Victoria is exited to launch our very own EmPOWER Series, building on the momentum of our International Women’s Day event to transform inspiration into action through hands-on, small-group workshops. Designed by women for women in the electrotechnology industry, the program focuses on practical skill-building, leadership development, and creating meaningful connections to drive lasting change across the sector.

This first workshop focuses on identifying individual leadership styles and applying them to real-world scenarios, enabling leaders to navigate challenging conversations, build self-awareness, and leverage their strengths for greater outcomes. Using the 3-pillar approach of Support, Challenge, Champion, participants will:

• Support: Build a foundation of trusting relationships and set the scene for successful interactions through effective communication and engagement.

• Challenge: Apply personal leadership styles to drive innovation, give constructive feedback, and set stretch goals.

• Champion: Recognise and celebrate success, mentor others, and foster a motivated, cohesive team.
