EL2-SES Women In Leadership Masterclass

Upgrade your leadership skills for the Senior Executive Service

Leadership in the upper echelons of the APS involves much more responsibility, higher cognitive capacity, and a deeper alignment between your characteristics and the requirements of the role. 

You have made it this far because you have a high potential to fulfill these requirements. As you step up to SES it’s time to recognise that “what got you here won’t get you there.” What are the skills, capabilities, and even habits that might be standing between you and your career progression to the next level?

Compelling, engaging, and hands-on, this unique learning experience will cultivate your professional and personal development to optimise your performance and prepare your leadership at higher levels of the public sector.

You will craft your leadership identity, strengthen your emotional intelligence, confidently communicate with greater influence, and develop key skills for leaders who are setting themselves up to join the upper ranks of the APS.
