Women Who Lead

BRAVE

REAL

SIGNIFICANT

The programme equips women-leaders to find their voice, be brave, remain real and have significance.

They will lead, think and behave differently to have a profound impact in their teams and organisations.

It is an applied leadership learning programme specifically designed for women who lead.

It is a challenging, sophisticated and extensive developmental experience at a full professional level in respect of leadership theory and practice.

The programme is differentiated by integrating research-based content relevant to women-leaders, the insights of women and the realities faced by women in organisations.

This is done by highlighting challenges, proposing solutions but more so, to stimulate debate and ensuring empowerment beyond stereotypes.

Reality checks in the workplace are included – the typical view, the difference between men and women and how to optimise the difference without negating it.

The programme is quality assured by NWU Business School.
