About this Event

Women Who Lead

Sustainable leadership for women in male-dominated industries.

High-performing women are burning out — not because they lack capability, but because leadership has been defined in ways that reward over-performance, emotional suppression, and constant proving.

Women Who Lead is a one-day leadership experience designed to help women lead with clarity, confidence, and impact — without burning out or losing who they are.


Why this matters

For many women, leadership comes with invisible costs: over-preparing, over-delivering, self-doubt, and emotional load. Over time, this doesn’t just exhaust — it disconnects women from their confidence, voice, and sense of self.

For organisations, the cost is equally real. Burnout-driven attrition leads to loss of leadership capability, weakened pipelines, and reduced decision quality on complex work.

This is not a wellbeing initiative or a diversity exercise.
It is a leadership capability and retention issue.


What this day focuses on

Women Who Lead is grounded in practical, evidence-informed leadership development, tailored to male-dominated environments.

You’ll work through five core pillars:

  • Perception & accountability — understanding how self-talk and fear shape leadership behaviour
  • Emotional intelligence under pressure — regulating stress without emotional suppression
  • Values, beliefs & decision filters — leading in alignment without self-betrayal
  • Influence & courageous communication — being heard without over-explaining or self-silencing
  • Integration & action — translating insight into a realistic 30-day action plan

What you’ll walk away with
  • clearer, more confident decision-making
  • tools to manage pressure sustainably
  • a leadership approach aligned with who you are
  • stronger influence and communication
  • practical actions you can apply immediately

Who this is for

Women working in male-dominated industries — whether formally leading or stepping into greater responsibility.


For organisations

This experience supports the retention and development of high-performing women by building sustainable leadership capability under pressure.
