Women in Defence

Peer to Peer Leadership Retreat for women in the defence sector

Build relationships, grow your capacity, become a better leader

Learn More

LearnSphere has developed an intimate two-day retreat for women leaders in the defence sector.

With over 25 years helping organizations prosper, LearnSphere has created an experience for you that goes beyond traditional training: Not only will you take part in workshops and hear from inspiring speakers, but you will also receive leadership coaching, and experience meaningful peer-to-peer learning and network building. This will all take place in an intimate and confidential setting, among other women leaders in the sector (maximum 15 people).

Why peer to peer learning?

Building the right peer group can help you move from incremental to exponential growth by:

  • Challenging your assumptions
  • Broadening your perspectives
  • Building your self-awareness and confidence in your leadership skills
  • Learning from others facing similar challenges
  • Establishing a trusted network for accountability and support

This is for you if...

You are a middle manager working in the defence sector supply chain and you want to:

  • Immerse yourself in peer-to-peer professional development.
  • Share career and business experiences in a confidential group environment
  • Connect with other women managers in the sector

Cost

Valued at $3,500 per participant for registration, meals, and accommodations, those cost are fully subsidized by the Funders. Each participant can also claim up to a maximum of $500 in eligible incurred travel costs with receipts. Your investment will be the time you commit to fully immerse yourself in this unique opportunity. By applying to participate, you commit to attending ALL sections of retreat, aside from those noted as optional. See the agenda below for further details.
