Despite the variety of strengths we bring to the workplace, it’s a sad reality that many women still face unique challenges that are often fuelled by unconscious gender bias at work.
Organisations and businesses are made stronger by strong female voices and leadership, and by equipping yourself with practical strategies for leadership development, you can overcome barriers in the workplace for yourself and the women you work with.
If this is an area you’d like to learn more about, GetSmarter has the perfect course for you!
The Women in Leadership online course, in association with the University of Stellenbosch Business School Executive Development, will help you explore the core strengths of female business leadership while developing practical strategies for the workplace.
