Full Day

In New Zealand more women are reaching senior management and leadership roles than ever before. However, this area is still dominated by their male counterparts. This presents particular challenges to women who are career assertive and wish to progress.




In particular, it has been widely researched and recognised that there is a difference in communication, influencing and leadership styles between women and men. These differences in styles can cause miscommunication and even disharmony between male and female colleagues.





Organisations require effective managers and successful management interactions. By assisting women managers in understanding and leveraging their leadership, management and communication skills, a more productive working environment can be achieved. The business also benefits by tapping into the strengths and unique capabilities that women managers can provide.
