The global context for the mining sector is changing rapidly. Shifting
societal expectations, emerging technologies such as automation, and
increasing environmental pressures are combining to create a dynamic
and challenging environment. To succeed, leaders will need to be able to
think quickly and in innovative ways, understand diverse perspectives,
and lead with courage. In many industries, including the mining industry,
women in leadership roles face the additional challenge of having to work
through the proverbial glass ceiling.

Why women only?

Women-only programs help to create the context and dialogue necessary to stimulate new thinking around the shared gendered experiences of participants. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your own personal and workplace experiences and hear the experiences of other participants. This allows for a holistic view of the mining industry from a gendered leadership context
