Hear from FLEET’s seven participants on what they have learnt from the Women & Leadership Australia’s (WLA) Leading Edge Program.
What skills do you need to become an effective leader?

In 2020, FLEET funded seven members in different roles (PhD students, postdocs and professional staff) to participate in the Women & Leadership Australia Leading Edge Program as part of the Centre’s leadership development initiative.
WLA’s Leading Edge program is a professional development experience for aspiring leaders, comprising online modules and face-to-face workshops where participants learned leadership skills and techniques to aid in their future careers.
Participants completed a workplace project, identifying something in their work they could improve upon, and carried this out as part of their training, including working in coach-coachee partnerships, learning techniques for mentoring, listening and questioning.
