Elevating women at work
is a national priority
Let's ascend your leadership
If we’re not fully using the capacity and talents of over half of the population, then we’re holding ourselves back.

Meet your future
Welcome to Industry 5.0
The fifth industrial revolution is emergent. Immersive technologies are extending the reality we experience. Accelerated digitisation and artificial intelligence are radically disrupting every business sector.
How we live, work, learn, recruit and relate is shifting. These ruptures require a diversity of evolved leaders.
Leaders face uncharted territory as they redefine business models, retain human capital, automate systems, reduce carbon use and meet stakeholders' elevated expectations. Women’s more empathic, collaborative and ethical leadership style is well-suited to drive the transformation needed to meet these intersecting challenges.
Embody leadership 5.0The time is now
Women across Australia and New Zealand are highly educated and under-utilised. Despite decades of determined effort, barriers that curb women's full professional participation remain.
The data shows diversity improves decision-making and business outcomes and that gender equity is critical to our national prosperity. Now is the time to elevate women so they can Step Up and Stand Out. We must equip women with robust, science-backed tools and techniques so they can secure and optimise their seats at the leadership table.
