About the Course

In a fast paced and changing environment, the focus of attention is increasingly on the need for effective leadership, not just good management.

Women aspiring to leadership positions face particular challenges. They often face far more rigorous tests to determine their suitability for promotion and must be active in seeking selection for leadership positions.

To create your own opportunities, it is vital that you identify and acquire the characteristics and competencies of an effective leader and integrate these into your personal leadership style.

Through interactive exercises and group discussions, you will gain powerful communication, negotiation and influencing skills which will help you succeed in male oriented working environments.

You will learn how to achieve an assertive, but not aggressive, response style, and create and sustain an image of authority. You will also acquire valuable techniques to help you lead, empower and motivate your staff to excel.

Who Should Attend

This course provides an unparalleled opportunity for women to develop practical leadership skills, as well as to benefit from the breadth of knowledge and experience of their peers within a range of commercial and public organisations.
