Time is a precious resource, and we know that many leaders struggle to find time to invest in their own growth and learning. But, at Women & Leadership Australia, we’re experts in delivering leadership development programs designed for busy professionals. Here are five ways we make sure you can find the time to join our programs – and reap the benefits.
A flexible experience you can tailor to your schedule
Our flagship programs are delivered over several months to reduce the impact to your work schedule and allow you to integrate your new skills and insights into your leadership practice at a sustainable pace. Live online workshops are spaced out to keep you on track with key course content, and you can choose to complete supplementary learning activities like video tutorials, self-reflection prompts and discussion forums when it suits you. We make assessments optional, to give you maximum control over your time commitment.
Online delivery eliminates travel time
Our flagship programs are delivered online, and are accessible from any desktop or mobile device. No matter where you are, you can log in to live webinars and instantly access online course information, interactive learning resources and discussion forums without added travel time.
Applied learning integrates with current work
You’ll learn new strategies that you can put into practice for immediate impact in your current role. As you explore core leadership skills and contemporary tools and frameworks, you will apply these to your current challenges and workplace context. Through group discussions or peer coaching sessions you’ll gain clarity and identify new ways to progress current workplace issues and projects.
Skills, tools and networks that deliver for years to come
We make sure our flagship programs cover all the key leadership skills you need right now and as you grow as a leader. You’ll develop a comprehensive and cohesive toolkit of practical leadership skills and proven frameworks that you can revisit again and again as your leadership journey evolves. For many of our participants, sharing this profound learning experience in a psychologically safe environment also leads to long-term connections with fellow participants that continue to provide support well beyond the program.
Personalised support to keep you on track
We know it’s easier to stay committed and on track with your learning when you’re part of a supportive community. Before your program starts, you’re connected to a dedicated Program Delivery Coordinator who is your go-to for individualised support and information throughout your program. And, along with other leaders in your cohort, you’ll be part of a supportive learning community that will help you stay focused and accountable through workshop conversations, online forum discussions and peer coaching.
Want to hear from our graduates?
Maryanne completed our seven-month Executive Ready program, and had this to say about her experience:
It’s important, albeit sometimes difficult in our busy schedules, to take time to build ourselves, improve skillsets and reflect on our lives, professionally or otherwise, and that is exactly what this course enabled me to do ...
Delivery is through online portal, webinar and [online] workshops meaning minimal time was required off work. I particularly liked the leader as coach sessions and online community of practice. I still speak to my ‘buddy’ and mentor/mentee on a weekly basis and we now have a LinkedIn resource group too. This is another benefit of this course the networks (and opportunities) it opens.
If you are looking to upskill, consolidate your existing position and advance in your career I would highly recommend Executive Ready.
