Curtin Executive Education: Women as Leaders Residential Program
Event Dates: 29/9/2010 - 1/10/2010
The lack of women at executive level in Australia has received considerable attention over the past
year. Of further concern is the disproportionately low representation of women at senior and board levels in Western Australia.
The highly regarded Women as Leaders program is based on 20 years of research and has run successfully at Cranfield University for over 10 years. This year the program will be offered for the first time in Australia by Cranfield University UK’s International Centre for Women Leaders in partnership with the Maureen Bickley Centre for Women in Leadership, a centre within the Curtin Graduate School of Business, Curtin University.
Who is the program for?
The program is designed for experienced women professionals and managers who feel that they would like to accelerate their careers. It is expected that participants would have a high level of experience, be very good at their job and have more than 10 years of experience in a managerial role.
What is the program about?
The program provides women with the knowledge and attitudes to overcome barriers and help to develop winning strategies that will increase promotional opportunities. It integrates leading edge research with participants’ personal experiences to provide practical learning about leadership and how to navigate the way to the top. The program helps women think positively about ambition,
power, impression management and career success.
Participants will engage in stimulating research presentations, group discussions, a 360° leadership profile, co-counselling sessions and facilitation groups, and depart with an elite network of women in business to work with in the future.
A very participative approach is designed to help participants develop insights about their assumptions, beliefs and behaviours. Each participant will have opportunities to review progress made against her personal learning goals as the program proceeds.
Dates: 9am Wednesday 29 September to 3pm Friday 1 October 2010
Venue: The residential program will be held at the Esplanade River Suites in South Perth.
