Emerging Women Leaders Portal

Program Overview

“Emerging Women Leaders” is a unique Leadership Program that translates theory into lived practice and goes to the core of what makes a successful leader:

  • know yourself,
  • know what you are capable of,
  • know and own your power and know where and how to use it.

This structured six session program takes a very different look at the leadership paradigm. The program takes participants on a leadership journey using the personal stories of established leaders in the IWFA network. A network of successful women leaders, from all sectors, which is beyond the reach of most emerging leaders. These stories address whole of life issues including values, relationships, personal wellness and community wellbeing –the successes, the failures, the challenges and the lessons learned. Lessons that are invaluable for emerging leaders: “If you can perhaps I can too!!”

Co-founded by IWFA members, Pam Burton and Chris Gillies, the program has been a career and life-changing experience for many emerging women leaders.
