About the workshop
Women equate to 57 percent of staff in tertiary education within Australia; however, they hold only around 30 percent of leadership positions. The benefits of diversity are well known, therefore imperative to identify catalysts that will redress gender inequality within the workplace. Leading and managing in the evolving education environment brings challenges few other professions experience. In this constantly evolving sector, authentic and resilient leadership in the face of change is pivotal to success. To lead individuals and teams effectively, it is essential that leaders understand and capitalise on their unique strengths, while still aligning their approach with the framework and values of their specific organisation.
This workshop focuses on allowing existing and aspiring leaders to be more aware of the way they exercise leadership and their impact upon others. You will be encouraged to think about your organisation holistically and to understand the opportunities and avenues in which you can be effective change agents. Expert facilitation will allow you to explore the unique skills required to lead effectively in education. Practical and interactive sessions will equip you with the strategies and techniques to enable you to reach your full potential, to pursue your chosen career path, and to achieve success.
