The Women’s Leadership Programme is designed to help women leaders overcome the unique organisational hurdles and biases that restrict their growth, and equip them with the tools they need to increase their influence and impact.

Participants will also have the rare opportunity to share and draw on the leadership experiences of a relevant and impactful network of peers that will empower them to drive personal and professional change and aim for the very top in their career trajectories.

The programme is best suited for mid to senior-level women professionals who are aspiring to develop critical leadership skills to influence, empower and mentor. Those preparing to transition into senior management or experiencing new or expanded responsibilities such as managing a new team or a career switch will be able to deepen their leadership knowledge and enhance their confidence in dealing with challenging situations.

In general, the programme will serve women professionals aiming to overcome gender barriers and grow within their organisations.
