Core Confidence - Women in Leadership

THE CORE CONFIDENCE DIFFERENCE

Transformational vs transactional women in leadership

The world of leadership development is a billion-dollar industry, yet most programs (including those that focus on women in leadership) barely scratch the surface. They focus on tactical skills — like how to negotiate or network without addressing the deeper, systemic barriers and gender bias that hold women back. In this fast-paced, changing world, it’s time for Women in Leadership (WiL) programs to move beyond the “tips and tactics” approach.

To create a sustainable pipeline of female talent, organisations must focus on transformative programs that offer a proven methodology and provides the focus and space to do the deep work of unpacking the internal roadblocks and truly empowering women to lead authentically, not just survive in a corporate landscape shaped by centuries of masculine norms.

Women in Leadership Programs

Our Women in Leadership Programs leverage over 60 years of executive and consulting experience to help organisations grow their female talent pipelines. We offer bespoke in-house programs, the transformative Acts of Confidence public program, or a hybrid approach. These programs empower women through networking, skill-building, and learning alongside peers from diverse industries.

What sets our programs apart is the expertise of facilitators with lived experience, deep knowledge of systemic barriers, and the ability to foster growth through structured, supportive challenges. Our unique approach focuses on mindset shifts, layered learning experiences, and strengths-based development to help women overcome limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome, and burnout. Accountability and measurement are core elements, ensuring sustainable impact through co-designed assessments and measurement. Participants report transformational outcomes, including increased confidence, leadership capability, and agency.

Gender Equity Round Table Discussions

This collaborative workshop aims to address challenges and opportunities for women in the workplace by engaging key influencers and allies across the organisation with a focus on strategic goals such as increasing women’s leadership, representation, workforce participation, and retention, as well as closing the gender pay gap.

Facilitated by experienced Organisational Systemic Practitioners, the conversation brings together 6-8 leaders to align on key issues, identify opportunities, and commit to actionable next steps. The outcome includes heightened awareness, clear alignment, and a concise summary document to guide progress on Gender Equality Action Plans and initiatives.

Executive Coaching

Taking a Systemic Perspective

Working individually with senior executives, our systemic coaching approach enables people to leverage their strengths and to recognise patterns and behaviours that have been getting in their way and inhibiting their ability to reach their potential. Our methodology is time efficient and solutions focused; the power rests with the individual, and by providing a supportive framework, significant shifts are made that enhance individual performance, which in turn, improves the organisation’s performance.
