Women in Insurance Leadership Workshop

Registrations close 31st of May 

About the Workshop:

The Insurance sector is a constantly changing sphere that calls for emerging leaders to adapt and grow in order to thrive and succeed. Often those wanting to take the next step in the field find it hard to see their full value and potential, slowing their progress in a world full of opportunities. Emerging leaders will need to understand their professional values and know how to cultivate a growth mindset to stand out and fulfil their career desires. 

This interactive virtual workshop will provide emerging leaders within the field the skills to understand the strengths that they are able to bring to the corporate table to confidently unleash their potential. It will particularly benefit those who aspire to move beyond early management to broader leadership roles. Julie will guide attendees to unlock their potential through numerous topics, discussions and group and individual learning on a number of different topics over the 1-day workshop. 

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to ask your questions to a panel of senior female executives from the Insurance sector.
