Course overview
What Is Women’s Leadership Development?
Women’s leadership development dismantles the barriers women meet on the way to leadership and builds the confidence, skills and support to lead with authenticity and purpose. This course covers leadership presence and personal values, assertiveness, career direction, negotiation for fair reward, mediation and consensus, mentorship and peer support, advocacy for gender equality and resilience in times of change.
Interactive workshops, mentorship sessions and practical exercises let participants practise assertiveness, fair negotiation and career planning with other women leaders in Indonesia.
In Indonesia’s dynamic business landscape, the course helps women across industries, from aspiring leaders to seasoned executives, build the confidence, resilience and strategic thinking to lead, dismantle barriers to leadership roles and contribute to the advancement of their communities and economy.
Why it matters
Why Women’s Leadership Matters in Indonesia
Indonesia’s dynamic business landscape needs the voices and contributions of women across industries. Organisations that dismantle barriers to leadership invest in women’s success and in wider progress for communities.
Talent is underused
Every barrier that keeps women from leadership roles is skill and experience an organisation fails to use.
More voices, better decisions
Amplifying women’s voices brings fresh perspectives and more creative problem-solving to decisions.
Barriers persist
Gender bias and unfair access to pay and opportunities still slow women’s progress.
Communities progress together
Women who lead drive progress for communities and the economy across Indonesia.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
Six linked steps move from a woman’s own aspiration and voice, through negotiating and building support, to advocating for others and staying resilient through change; each is a skill participants rehearse and pass on.

- 2. VoiceAm I being heard?
