Pre-Summit Workshop 27 November 2017 9.00 - 4.30

Construct inspiring conversations to drive your leadership journey To take charge of your career pathway, it is vital for emerging leaders to understand how to engage in conversations, make meaningful contributions and to feel that you are heard and acknowledged. When your industry or work environment is male-dominated, aspiring female leaders may feel intimidated or restricted in their ability to showcase their value at the table. Understanding the significance of conversations and how to add value will establish a positive presence and enable leaders to communicate effective strategic decisions with influence. In this interactive full-day workshop, Merryl will provide attendees with essential communication techniques to broaden their understanding on the importance of effective communication. Attendees will learn how to expand collaborative capabilities, communicate common purpose and how best to convey your leadership brand. At the workshop’s conclusion, attendees will be able to place themselves above their competition and effectively converse their ideas, concepts, and strategies. Subconscious communication: More than just words • Unintentional communication (and it’s ability to turn tables) • Transform unintentional into intentional communication • Understand and take hold of nonverbal cues to enhance your executive presence Understand and overcome your ‘blindspots’ • Recognise your communicative weaknesses • Strategies to voice your value at the table • Equip yourself with the language of a leader Influence key stakeholders through conversations • Understand the goals of both parties • Tailor your communication to their style • Maintain stakeholder engagement through consistency Leave an impact to gain the results you want • Grasp your seat at the table • Build credibility through effective communication • Create and maintain lasting relationships to support your goal

Post-Summit Workshop 30 November 2017 9.00 - 4.30

Transform your capabilities In the Construction, Infrastructure and Engineering fields, statistics show the large gap between male and female representation in executive roles. The stigma embedded from lower technical roles have led women entering the industry to feel intimidated by the ‘glass ceiling’ that shadows them from above. However, a lack of ‘up-skilling’ has left a gap waiting to be filled. To emerge into the next stages of your career, individuals need to understand how to transform their technical skills into tools that will equip their ability to lead diverse teams. Combined with increased responsibility and workload, a new set of skills need to be developed in order to successfully transition into a leader that will be respected and supported by those around them. Emerging leaders need to understand and overcome challenges of the role and learn how to effectively lead and communicate under high-pressured situations in order to come out triumphant. This full-day interactive workshop will provide individuals hoping to take the leap into executive roles with the capabilities to enhance their leadership skill set and executive presence. Recognise the significance of change • Understand the leadership pipeline • Key differences between a technical specialist and a strategic leader • Assess the potential for successful leadership Enhance your leadership capability • The advantages of your technical skills • Your strengths and weaknesses: Effective utilisation to ensure success • Create your authentic leadership style Understand your value - Lead with confidence • Overcome fear of change: Venture outside your comfort zone • Stay resilient in times of change • Understand what you can bring to the table Better team, better you • Learn to communicate effectively to different audiences • Manage difficult people • Empower, motivate and value your people
