Business empowerment, leadership and career advancement for aspiring and established women leaders

The Women Leaders Institute is delighted to announce our 7th Annual Women in Leadership Summit returns to Brisbane this December – with a renewed focus on bold leadership and resilience.  
2020 has been the biggest leadership test for many of us. As restrictions ease but the pandemic continues, how prepared are you to lead in this new normal? 
 
Join us this December where we will bring together exceptional leaders from diverse backgrounds and professions to: 
  • Explore the most effective leadership tools, tips and techniques you need to inspire, support and motivate your teams through these uncertain times 
  • Navigate with confidence to take the next step in your leadership journey 
  • Share and celebrate your wins with like-minded leaders as we reaffirm our commitment to diversity in leadership even during the most challenging of times!  
With our additional virtual platform, speakers and delegates can join us from across Australia, enabling our community to keep learning and building new and lasting relationships. You can either join us in-person or from the comfort of your home or office. Whichever option you choose, you will have the opportunity to participate in outcome-focused workshops, engage with our speakers in real-time, and even take part in networking games – 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.
