Overview

While the number of female leaders in public sector organisations has been steadily growing over the past decade, there remain many barriers to development and women are still under-represented in leadership roles.

This practical course is designed to hone your leadership style and build confidence in your communications and negotiating skills.

Aims and Objectives:
  • Recognise the value proposition of women in leadership
  • Develop your leadership style to be authentic and inclusive
  • Learn to generate buy-in and negotiate persuasively
  • Build confident communications skills and overcome imposter syndrome
  • Understand how to develop networks and support through sponsors
