[This course] came at a time where I had been feeling I needed to grow my skills and knowledge to progress in my career, but I didn’t know where to start. I’ve gained so many skills and insights that are just so relevant and useful, personally and professionally. I feel like a different person than I was at the start, and I am so thankful.

Program Overview

Develop essential capabilities to thrive at work

Communication, behavioural, and interpersonal skills are central to our everyday lives and form the basis of how we understand ourselves, how we interpret our experiences, and the impact that we have on others.  These core capabilities are fundamental to working effectively with people regardless of your role or responsibility level.

During the Impact Program, you’ll develop your ability to work effectively with others to improve your confidence and give you greater work satisfaction. The skills you’ll develop throughout the Impact Program are the foundation for a long and fulfilled career.

  • Gain practical skills to improve communication, time management, and decision making
  • Master key behavioural and interpersonal capabilities
  • Explore strategies to reduce stress, enhance resilience, and build confidence at work

This comprehensive development program includes:

  • Five 2-hour interactive online workshops
  • Five self-paced online modules
  • Workplace activities
  • Reflective Tasks
  • High quality video tutorials

Participant Profile

This program is for women of all ages from all industries who are passionate and ambitious but not in formal leadership positions. If you want to feel more confident and fulfilled at work, and are looking to increase your impact in your career and personal life, this program is for you. Designed to provide a psychologically safe and inclusive learning environment, this program is for women and gender diverse people.

I had the pleasure of completing a course with this company late last year. The course content was delivered in a logical sequence and directly related to my development. I met some amazing people with incredible stories, and had the great pleasure of growing with them. Highly recommended to any young woman looking to push themselves out of their comfort zone and get to know themselves better.
