Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this a female-only program?

This program is an adaptation of our signature Leadership Growth Academy and is designed to address unique challenges that impact women’s progression in the workplace, including visibility, sponsorship, and career opportunities. Research consistently shows that women are promoted at lower rates, have fewer influential sponsors, and often face barriers to leadership progression that their male counterparts do not. This program is about bridging that gap. While the core program is for women participants, allies and sponsors are encouraged to be part of the process, ensuring broader organisational change. If you're interested in our signature Leadership Growth Academy option that supports all employees in your organisation, you can check it out here.

Can the program be customised?

Yes. This program can be tailored to align with your organisation’s structure, leadership approach, and existing initiatives. Customisation may include integrating company-specific case studies, refining content to align with your leadership frameworks, adjusting program length, adding a mentoring or structured sponsorship element, or incorporating additional coaching.

What role do sponsors play in this program?

Sponsors don’t just mentor, they open meaningful doors for growth. Their role is to create visibility and help women access meaningful growth opportunities. Effective sponsorship ensures that high-potential female leaders are recognised, developed, and retained, contributing to stronger leadership pipelines and a more inclusive workplace.

What outcomes can we expect from this program?

Leadership Growth Academy for women helps organisations retain, develop, and promote high-potential women, leading to stronger leadership pipelines, increased engagement, and a more inclusive culture.

Participants gain the skills and sponsorship they need to step into bigger roles with confidence and conviction, while businesses benefit from a leadership team that reflects and maximises the full potential of their workforce through deeper diversity.
