Bringing like-minded women leaders together
Overview
Leading change in today’s fast-paced business environment requires innovative thinking, execution skills and personal self-awareness. Women executives rarely have an opportunity to come together to share their leadership experiences in a learning environment that has direct relevance and personal impact.
 
What do leaders really do? Create sustainable change.
Change leaders use their understanding of trends in a dynamic environment to craft a sound strategic direction. They create movement towards a better future by gaining the support and commitment of key stakeholders, and motivating them to overcome the obstacles they encounter along the way.
 
Top executives seldom have time to refresh their ideas about leadership and reflect on ways of increasing their personal impact. Women Leading Change in Global Business (WLC) creates a network for participants to exchange personal experiences and insights, as well as make comparisons with others in similar situations. This executive workshop is an extraordinary opportunity for personal and professional development. It addresses leadership issues that affect all executives, in a forum that creates a network of today’s senior women leaders.
 
Participants leave Women Leading Change in Global Business with a new perspective on creating personal and professional change. They are inspired with renewed motivation to realise opportunities for themselves and their organisations.

  • Develop greater confidence and understanding of personal leadership style, enabling you to carry out and lead change within your business.
  • Build a network of senior women from around the world that can be called upon after the programme for professional advice and help or simply socially.
