If you, as a woman, have leadership aspirations,

If you want to advance your career,

If you want to make your mark on your industry or professional sector,

If you want to be able to influence decision-making in your workplace,

If you want to be recognised as someone with leadership potential,

If you want to learn how to stand out from the crowd,

Then this networking night is for you!

Learn how to network and how networking

can grow your career.

Many women believe that you advance your career and attain leadership positions by working hard.
You make a 150% commitment.
You take on extra work to prove that commitment.
You give loyalty to your boss.
You strive to excel by gaining additional qualifications.
Behind the scenes you get coaching or mentoring to improve your performance.
They believe their boss will notice all this and give them opportunities that will advance their career!

It doesn't happen that way!

Men, on the other hand, believe that your career is advanced by who you are close to, by knowing the right people.
They devote significant amounts of time to developing these relationships through networking.
They meet the right people.
They get the right introductions.
They belong to the right organisations.
They take leadership positions on the right committees.
They build their profile in their industry or professional sector.
They make sure they are being known and recognised as someone with expertise.
They also make sure they are recognised as someone who wants to go somewhere, someone who will make a difference, someone with leadership potential.

This networking night is designed to assist women

to develop and enhance their networking skills

in these same areas

BUT

in ways that enhance their understanding of themselves

as women.
