Webinar: Women in Safety and Health: a conversation about leading consciously

AIHS and the Women in Safety and Health (WISH) network would like you to join us on Tuesday 13 April for a webinar panel discussion titled: Women in Safety and Health: a conversation about leading consciously. 

Conscious leaders speak with integrity, lead with authenticity and hold themselves accountable. They listen with the intent to understand and not just to respond, and they do it by being in tune with themselves and the world around them. So, what is it that makes a conscious leader anyway?

In this Premiere Live event brought to you by the Women in Safety & Health Network, AIHS Chair Naomi Kemp will interview three of Australia's Leading Women about their experiences and what it means to them to lead consciously in management, governance, and government. We will discuss leadership styles, understanding your 'why', values-based decision-making, influencing, inclusion, and what happens when things don't go to plan.

All profits from this event will be donated to Lifeline
