CASE STUDY

ABOUT THE EVENT Women continue to be significantly under-represented as engineers despite gender diversity initiatives. This under-representation is magnified at management and executive ranks. A range of factors contributes to the gender disparity, including unconscious bias, working flexible roles, and managing stakeholder relationships. To be successful in the engineering field, you must learn to navigate this complex environment, overcome common career challenges and develop your leadership skills. Liquid Learning is proud to present our 7th Women in Engineering Leadership Summit. This event is your opportunity to hear from incredible leaders as they share personal stories. Their reflections address the unique challenges you’ll face as you progress professionally. This is your chance to network with like-minded individuals and refresh your professional outlook, keeping you invigorated as you step into leadership positions.

You, the effective leader

Understanding your goals and values plays a huge role in discovering your unique path. Building your confidence and remaining on-track during difficult times naturally follows. David will explore what it means to be an effective leader. • Define your purpose • Understand your organisation’s value proposition • Share your vision • How to remain effective in tough conditions

Post-Summit Workshop 31 May & 1 June 2018

Engineering Professionals Leadership Workshop Engineers work and lead most effectively when they are utilising their natural strengths. Projects succeed in an environment where relationships are strong and organisational goals, values and results are owned and clear to everyone. To emerge as a skilled leader within an engineering environment, you must remain resilient to adverse industry circumstances and take the time to build a team from a foundation of natural strengths and abilities. Leaders who employ this approach create an environment of success and enjoy the benefits of increased staff engagement and satisfaction. This workshop will explore a variety of practical tools and techniques, drawing from a strengths-based approach to lift the performance of teams operating in an engineering environment. As a leader, an engineer will be required to interact with and encourage buy-in from a wider range of stakeholders, each with varying expertise. Strengthening your communication style will not only make this possible, but lead to improved staff engagement and performance through feedback and clear direction. Utilising clear communication and understanding the difference between leading and managing are vital to creating an effective leadership approach This workshop will equip engineers and similar technical professionals with leadership skills, business acumen and add value to their organisation by coupling technical expertise with strategic thinking and effective leadership. Throughout this interactive session, participants will explore a range of practical methods, tools and techniques, whilst exchanging ideas on how to solve real world problems. Day One
