Conference: 25-26 May 2021 | Workshop: 24 May 2021 | Location: Aotea Centre, Auckland

 
 

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

 
 
 
The Women Leaders Institute is delighted to announce the return of our 7th Annual Women in Leadership Summit, taking place in Auckland from 24-26 May 2021. 
 
New Zealand is taking the reins when it comes to diversity in leadership. After being sworn in for her second term in office, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has introduced the country’s most diverse cabinet in history. Of the 20-strong cabinet, 40% are women, 25% are Maori, 15% are Pasifika and another 15% are LGBTQI. 
 
In a similar vein, we have brought together an incredibly diverse line-up of highly accomplished leaders to share their unique leadership experiences. Gain expert insights from leading organisations including New Zealand Rugby, Fonterra, Paralympics New Zealand, the Auckland District Health Board & the National Council of Women to discover how to: 
 
  • Foster an inclusive culture within your organisation by increasing the representation of women from all backgrounds in senior leadership roles  
  • Strengthen your leadership pipeline by nurturing and coaching high-potential women 
  • Adapt your leadership style to optimise your team’s potential
