9:00AM – 4:00PM
Accelerate your success through Gravitas - Becoming a grounded, secure and self-assured leader
Leaders today need gravitas to make an impact and be heard. Gravitas is the quiet confidence that takes you beyond your qualifications and experience to be the obvious choice to be listened to and heard. Your gravitas takes you further in your organisation and in your career, and transforms you into the person everyone turns to when times are uncertain and decisions need to be made. What Women Need to Know to Build their Gravitas is your opportunity to make the practical and mindset changes needed to move to the next stage in your career.
You will explore how to: • Get out from behind your “invisibility cloak” and project more authority • Inject your input and feedback at meetings with more gravity and importance • Expand your circle of influence • Be the revered example of grace under pressure; and • Evoke the level of respect and trust that gets you noticed, listened to and heard.
By the end of the day you will have a personalised plan to build your gravitas that will have you seen as a serious contender for major role advancement/promotion/project lead/overseas secondment/board appointments. This is a collaborative and highly interactive experience for women, in a safe environment free from judgement, censure, politics or organisational power plays.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Live Streaming + COVID – 19 There is a lot of confusion around corporate learning events and COVID – 19. We understand. We’re all going through it. Given this, we want to make the following assurances: • If you have booked onto a physical pass and can no longer attend an event, you will either be refunded the difference in your registration ticket, or be given access to an additional live streaming ticket for anyone within your organisation • Should your circumstances change, we are happy to offer a full credit note for yourself or anyone within your organization to attend any one of our other excellent events • Now that our events will be live streamed, they will also be recorded. If you cannot attend the event, whether it be live streamed or a physical pass, we are working hard to ensure everyone receives a recording of the event so you can have the same experience for all time
Changes to Events (COVID – 19 & Beyond) Many events this year have inevitably been postponed or cancelled due to State and Federal Government mandated shutdowns. We are doing our best to ensure that these events will go ahead on postponed dates and via livestreaming mechanisms. In the event that your registration or participation in an event has been postponed, Konnect Learning offers flexible tickets and credit notes to all clients that have been impacted. Given the financial and economic impact of COVID – 19, Konnect Learning is unable to offer a financial refund for events that have been affected by COVID – 19.
A tremendous amount of effort is spent to ensure all of Konnect Learning events proceed as originally marketed. It is with regret that circumstances beyond Konnect learning’s control can prevent this from happening. As such, Konnect Learning reserves the right to change the speaker and/or agenda details at any time throughout the marketing lifecycle of an event.

Konnect Learning will notify all participants of any changes in a timely manner leading up to an event.
