🌟 Exciting News from WISTA Australia! 🚢 We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new leadership program, designed to empower and support emerging leaders in the maritime industry. Over the next three years, WISTA Australia intends to put through 120 women from around the country on this course, with sessions happening twice a year in different states. The first session will be held in Sydney on 25 June – International Day for the Seafarer, with a commitment to hold two training sessions per year in capital cities around the country. The following course will be held in Fremantle on the 26th of September World Maritime Day. Thanks to the generous support of Svitzer Australia, our inaugural education partner, the training course itself will be at no cost to participants. We are also thrilled to announce that Eleanor Shakiba from Think Learn Succeed will be facilitating the course. Eleanor is an impressive leadership coach and teacher, she will be bringing her expertise and passion for leadership development in the maritime industry to our participants. To all the managers and senior leaders out there in our industry, we would really like you all to give some thought to some good candidates or potential candidates and encourage them to apply. One thing we know is that women, particularly at earlier stages of their career, don’t have the same confidence as men or necessarily nominate themselves as leaders. Your role is really important here to help overcome some of that imposter syndrome and support them in getting out of their comfort zone. For more details watch the message from our WISTA Australia President Monika Lemajic below Look forward to seeing everyone’s applications and please click on the link with this post below to learn more on how to submit https://lnkd.in/gM7rmij7 #WISTA #WISTAAUSTRALIA #UNSDG#5 #LeadershipDevelopment #MaritimeIndustry #EmpoweringLeaders #WomenInLeadership #IDWiM #womeninmaritime #womenwhomovetheworld

Women constitute a significant portion of Africa's population, yet their representation in leadership positions remains disproportionally low, and therefore their full potential remains largely untapped in African countries. Despite significant progress in recent years, women in Africa continue to face barriers to achieving leadership positions, including cultural norms, limited access to education and resources, and systemic gender biases, thus undermining women's ability to practice transformational leadership. Transformational leadership has become one of the most popular approaches due to its positive impact on achieving notable outcomes. Being a delegate in this year's Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF) on “Fostering transformative women’s leadership in Africa’’ has been a great experience. indeed, self-awareness is very important because transformational leadership starts with self-transformation.

Inclusive organisations outperform non-inclusive ones in terms of creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. Why? It's because diverse perspectives can flourish that challenge the status quo. This has a knock-on impact in delivering more comprehensive solutions that create competitive advantage. For individuals, an inclusive culture provides a space where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents.
