A recent article highlighted that women leaders are facing a crisis of trust. While numbers of women leaders in high ranking positions are rising, trust in women leaders is falling. Considering that leadership is influence, when there is no trust influence is hard if not impossible. This leadership challenge occurs alongside leading through times of change. With organisations experiencing sweeping changes, the anxiety and fear triggered by change causes people to gravitate towards the familiar to feel safe and secure. When it comes to leadership the familiar is men being in charge. So while an opportune time for women leaders, women have to brace themselves for these challenges. Using research to understand the perceptions, stereotypes, conditioning, behaviours and backlash women uniquely face, the Women Masterclass transforms those into effective strategies and solutions. 

This two day Leadership for Women Masterclass will cover: 

• Understanding the impact of the system (social and organisational) on women leadership
• Developing your leadership identity 
• Reshaping your self-image
• Negotiating and expanding your identity 
• Wielding feminine power 
• Strategic Communication and influence 
• Effective Decision Making 
• Becoming a total leader
• Master planning and goal setting 
• Self-reflection for self-change to lead in anxious times 
• Providing certainty with your mission 
• Developing people’s potential
