High Impact - Women in Leadership
Up until more recently women’s leadership development programs have either tried to deliver the same programs they deliver to men in an ‘add women and stir’ approach or too often it has been a ‘fix-the-women’ approach. By locating the problem with the woman it is assumed women have to be socialised to compete successfully in the world of men so must be taught the skills of their male counterparts.
The High Impact Leadership for Women program helps women shape a path to leadership without victimising or blaming, but cultivating in women a sense of agency. This has been the foundation of success for this program over the past four years.
So if you are looking to increase your effectiveness, progress your career and advance into leadership roles then the High Impact for Women in Leadership can help you do this.

What are the benefits to your organisation?
·
The Reiby Institute’s 2011 research report for the second year running shows a correlation between gender diversity and higher returns on equity (RoE). Those organisations that pursue diversity and support pathways for women to leadership positions are reaping the returns. Would you like these dynamics working in your organisation?

"The High Impact Women and Leadership program has provided me with a more holistic view of leadership and has helped me understand the way in which we interact within the organisation. Personally, it has been a journey to discover what really drives and motivates me, and I can now take more of a 'big picture' view of leadership challenges that I may face in the future
." ANNE THYSSEN, Assistant Marketing Manager, Grundfos Pumps PTY LTD
“I have found the High Impact Program to be extremely valuable. It has given me a chance to spend time on my own development, made me realise that others share the challenges that I face on a daily basis and has been an excellent networking opportunity. It has also allowed me to meet some inspirational women in leadership roles and hear their experiences and benefit from their tips and suggestions. I would recommend this program to everyone; it is not easy but the rewards far outweigh the commitment that is required
”. FRANCES GRAY, Service Centre Manager, Viterra Ltd
“High Impact gives women leaders the opportunity to explore different views and styles of leadership and an array of leadership challenges – particularly those women face… The High Impact journey has so far included intense discussion, reflective practice, creative mechanisms to gain feedback on one’s own leadership and practical opportunities to collaboratively consider current key issues… I have found that there is a special energy that comes with High Impact; energy generated by a group of wise women leaders committed to learning together to be the best leaders they possibly can. I can’t wait to continue my journey with this group for the rest of the year and beyond.” KATRINE HILDYARD, Branch Assistant Secretary, Australian Services Union, SA+NT Branch
“The course has been a unique and very reflective experience, firm friendships and networks have been formed and I cannot wait for the remainder of the course which I am sure will be as valuable as the days we have already participated in. I highly recommend the course to all senior women from all areas - you will enter a very enjoyable and valuable learning curve.” LORRAINE AMOS, Area Manager, SA Ambulance Service
