How does it work

Platinum+ is a 12-month program focusing on three key pillars needed to be a successful leader: confidence, capabilities and networks. Delivered virtually to maximise accessibility and flexibility, this program supports participants to engage around their work with options to scale engagement up or down as needed.

No homework or assessments

We understand the demands on career-focused professionals. We eliminate unnecessary assessments, ensuring every hour spent is focused on 100% impactful content and practical tools you can apply immediately to your professional or personal leadership.

Approximately 50 hours of engagement

We recommend 4 hours of engagement a month. Some months this might include completing a Masterclass and attending a mentoring session, other months it might be active engagement through the private Facebook community, or reflecting on your career development plan.

Who is the program for?

Platinum+ is for any woman wanting to secure her leadership trajectory. We aren't concerned about your job title, level, or size of team. The program focuses on providing content to inform and shape your leadership behaviours. Whether you are on the cusp of taking on people management, a people leader wanting to build their strategic leadership, or an experienced leader seeking guidance on addressing the rapidly evolving nature of workplaces, the program is for you. We have designed Platinum+ to specifically respond to the challenges facing career-focused women in the workplace, but the skills are highly transferable to personal hobbies, such as being the coach for your netball team.
