Business empowerment, leadership and career advancement for emerging and established leaders

Conference: 23-24 November 2021 | Workshop: 22 November 2021 

'Hear exclusive leadership insights from Former Prime Minister Rt Hon. Helen Clark'  

 
The Women Leaders Institute is delighted to announce the Women in Leadership Summit returns to Wellington – with a renewed focus on high-impact leadership and resilience.   
 
Women are underrepresented in key decision-making roles across almost all industries in our workforce. Having female leaders in positions of influence to serve as role models is not only critical to the career advancement of women, but also stands to generate broader societal impacts.
 
Join us this November where we will bring together exceptional leaders from diverse backgrounds and professions to: 
  • Develop an executive toolkit to become an inspiring mentor and coach future female leaders
  • Share success stories and personal anecdotes on authentic leadership as we reaffirm our commitment to diversity in leadership
  • Nurture the core leadership skills you need to thrive in an everchanging environment
You will have the opportunity to participate in outcome-focused workshops, engage with our speakers, and even take part in networking activities – making it a highly interactive, truly unique and valuable experience for you to gain the essential leadership insights you need today.      
 
For the last eight years, the Women Leaders Institute has consistently delivered a high-impact leadership conference for emerging and established women leaders to be inspired, connect and grow in a safe space. Join the community and find out more at womenleadersinstitute.org
