About the workshop:

Perhaps you've thought about joining a board or you’re already a director and need a refresh on making a greater impact and contribution: this Masterclass will help you navigate boardroom dynamics and have a strong voice at the table through building your brand and presence; understanding how to influence others, leveraging your individual strengths; and developing a plan to help put these lessons into practice in the boardroom or in your job.

The Masterclass will be run by Catherine Fox, journalist, author and director of diversity at Women & Leadership Australia, and Jane Counsel, Executive Coach and consultant, and former head of diversity at Westpac.
