If you’ve invested in women in leadership programs but still find yourself asking:
- Where are the women ready for senior roles?
- Why isn’t the pipeline shifting — even after we’ve run the programs?
- What are we missing?
You’re not alone.
Join us on 4 August, 2025 at 12NN for a powerful panel discussion unpacking what actually works when it comes to advancing women in leadership - and why many traditional approaches fall short.
This is not another conversation about the “pipeline problem.”
It’s about what happens when organisations stop talking and start investing in their women leaders - with real results.

Why This Event Matters Now
Despite decades of progress, women remain significantly underrepresented in senior leadership:
Only 1 in 4 executives in Australia are women, and just 1 in 10 are CEOs
(WGEA, 2024)
Organisations with more gender-diverse leadership teams are 25% more likely to outperform peers
(McKinsey, Diversity Wins)
Teams that embrace inclusion
are 35% more productive
(Cloverpop)
Organisations that deliberately develop women leaders are 1.4x more likely to be high-performing
(DDI, 2023)
“THANK YOU Rita for your amazing energy and for running this fantastic empowering program. I feel empowered as a person, as a woman, as a leader. I have grown so much in this short time thanks to your guidance, the networking with accountability partners and other woman, and I feel more confident in myself and around others. Attending the Impact program has been a huge impact on my life, and the biggest impact of my journey.”
