Camilla Read
Sustainability Lead, Z Energy

While I was in this program, there were organisational changes happening in my company. Women Rising helped me step up and use my voice to get what I wanted as part of the changes. I didn't just let it happen to me. As a result, I got the promotion, the pay rise and a better balanced job scope. This program gave me the confidence and tools to make that happen. Thank you!

Dina Craigie
Managing Consultant, DXC Technologies

There is comfort in knowing that I am not alone in walking this challenging path of female leadership.

Angelique

I strongly advise anyone thinking about taking this course to go for it. Each module is thought provoking and challenging. There are aspects of my life I hadn't considered previously, like how important meditation or taking time out for myself is. It's a great community environment where you finally feel like you're not alone in lacking confidence or imposter syndrome, the course helps overcome this fear.

Claire Cook

This program has been life changing for me. This program has been one of the most impactful programs that I have ever participated in. It took me through an amazing journey of self discovery and I can confidently say I've emerged as a better version of myself as a person and as a leader.

Male Allies Program.

To truly improve retention, leadership pipelines, and diversity in organisations, it's important to address a critical factor that is often overlooked in professional development programs for women - male allies and male managers.

Engaging men in meaningful support and conversation about women in the workplace is a key component in increasing gender diversity metrics. However, many men lack access to the necessary tools, community, and support to become active allies. This is where the Male Allies Program comes in - providing men with the resources and support they need to step into this role and make a real difference.

What Women Are Saying

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the impact your program has had on my life. Through the sessions and playsheets, I was able to learn new skills, gain confidence in myself, and build inner strengths that have allowed me to succeed in ways I never thought possible.

Bindhu Mano
Group Scrum Lead, Telstra

I am gritty, I am powerful, confident and assertive, and I can and will succeed at whatever I put my mind to. I would not have even thought about myself this way 6 months ago when I felt I had hit rock bottom and was feeling overly sorry for myself, but I am glad I made the decision to join the program and see it through, as this has been fantastic. Highly recommend, like galactic level recommend, (if not demand this is a must do course!) more women and male supporters, to attend!

Vicky McIndoe
Service Delivery Manager, One New Zealand

This program provides women a safe, supportive space to learn new skills, develop greater self-awareness & confidence, and challenge old paradigms & ways of thinking (especially in the areas of capability, worth, deservedness, preparedness & confidence). I've connected with such a beautiful network of positive, supportive, talented women - the world will be a better place for all of their contributions & leadership! I'm excited now to be moving forward with greater clarity, confidence & commitment. Thank you!

Bianca Evans
Care Services & Networking Manager, Home Instead

The Women Rising Program has been thought-provoking, eye-opening and life-changing. The breadth of topics, the structure of the program, and the lifetime access to materials means I can’t wait to go back again and again to see how my thinking has evolved and how I’m changing for the better.

The program is suitable for women at any stage of their career, and has given me so much to work with for my professional and personal development. I’ve built confidence, become more self aware, and have also thought about how I’m going to use what I’ve learnt to develop the next generation of leaders within my organisation.

Julianne Tancevski
Head of Data and Analytics, BlueScope

I have loved the Women Rising program. The most profound thing for me was realising that the leading change module is about leading the gender equality and diversity movement. It really is a revolution that we have a powerful role in, and it’s up to each of us. How empowering and inspiring.

Amal Nasralla
Head of Consulting, Fujitsu

The program gave me clarity of what I had been subconsciously dealing with throughout my management career. I now understand that what we as women work harder for is a part of societal norms and it’s okay to take a breath, relax in my own skin and know I am enough!

No. All women are welcome to join the program. In the current cohort we have women in sole contributor roles, women early in career all the way through to senior leaders, as well as women on a career break or parental leave. The curriculum and coaching meets women where they are and supports their journey regardless of level or function. We also have dedicated community forums by career stage such as early in career, managers, senior leaders, working mothers etc. All women from any company, role or country are welcome to join, as are individual women.

We have designed the Women Rising program with women’s busy schedules in mind. Women have two weeks to complete each module (8 modules over 4 months), with around an hour of learning content over the two week period. Adding in time for reflection and coaching sessions, the time commitment is approximately one-two hours per week. Women also have lifetime access to the program so they can come back and do any lessons they have missed, or revise the content, at anytime that suits them.

Registration for the March 2024 Program opens 1 November 2023. Launch calls will be held on 6 March 2024, and Module 1 begins on 11 March.

Participants have lifetime access to the program materials, recorded coaching calls and community lesson comments so they can keep coming back to the materials to support their journey. On completion they will also be granted access to a private alumni community platform, to continue their networking and experience.

Yes. The program is open to all women.

We have a complete guide called ‘Ask Your Boss’ that gives you the tools to ask your boss to support you, including program overview, suggested email copy and investment request. We hope this helps you build your business case and enables you to join the program.

Improving retention, leadership pipelines and diversity in organisations has many layers. There is a missing piece of most professional development programs for women in that they leave out two of the most critical factors in women’s career and leadership success - male allies and male managers.

A gaping hole in increasing gender diversity metrics, is how we engage men in not only the conversation about women at work, but provide meaningful support on their own journey to become active allies. Many men are wanting to step into this role but have not had access to the tools, community and support to do so. Until now.

Find out more about the Male Allies Program here.

The Male Allies program is open to all men who want to enhance their leadership, scale their sponsorship and be a more effective ally to women, including male leaders who have women in the Women Rising program.

Non-binary or gender diverse people are welcome to join either program.

The Male Allies program is AUD$999 + GST for all program materials, coaching and community support. This includes lifetime access to the program including all new content, research and resources added in the future.

We know how much your managers have on their plates. We also know that they can be so busy doing their job that they miss out on their own development opportunity, as well as upleveling their leadership and coaching skills. We recommend one hour per week for participants in the Male Allies Program to focus in on their learning and reflection, attend coaching calls, and build in discussion if they have team members in the Women Rising program. As well as the online platform, we also have an audio app to make the learning journey as accessible as possible.

We welcome individuals of all gender identities and expressions to join either the Women Rising program or the Male Allies program. This includes non-binary people and those who are gender diverse.

Our programs are designed to be inclusive and supportive of everyone, regardless of gender identity or expression. We recognise that everyone's experiences are unique, and we are committed to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all participants.

Whether you identify as a woman, a man, non-binary, or gender diverse, we invite you to join us on this journey of personal and professional growth. Together, we can create a more equitable and inclusive workplace culture for everyone.
