The Global Women – Breakthrough Programme focuses on senior women from large public, private and non-profit organisations on the verge of “breaking through” to very senior executive and governance roles. The year-long programme provides high calibre networks, high-level mentoring, and targeted professional and personal learning to significantly increase the number of participant women progressing to senior positions one to three years after programme completion.

How is the programme delivered?

With the exception of an initial 10 week module, comprising of 10 x 90 minute face to face sessions, the programme is broken down into one and two day workshops which all take place in central Auckland.

We recognise that our participants are senior business leaders and come from across the country. So, the programme modules have been designed to be spread out over the year, in a way to minimise disruption to their busy schedules.

This is what some previous participants have said:

"It wraps up the core components of leadership into one programme and links them all – the sum of the whole is greater than the individual parts, and therefore better than anything else you can buy. It’s targeted in a very personal way."

"It has been transformational for me and the people round me. It's an amazing platform for me to grow my leadership – it's given me the tools, confidence and networks I need."

"You have to embrace the opportunity the programme gives you. The programme is definitely for people who want to progress. My career has had a step-change this year and without this programme I don't think I'd have had the confidence to go for it."

"It was the right time in my career to take a step in my leadership and for personal growth. I liked the mix of what was in the programme, the broad range was really good. I liked that the programme was kept exclusively for senior women so I was talking with women like me."

"It has given me a self-awareness that I can bring to every aspect of my role as a leader and in my day-to-day interactions, even at home. It has really cemented the importance of authenticity."
