For women who lead.

We help CEOs prepare women for successful promotion.

Welcome to The Gravitas Project

Women who possess gravitas - grounded, secure and self-assured - are more likely to step successfully into leadership roles.

We work with individuals and organisations to help women unlock their career potential by embracing and discovering their own Gravitas.

The key to take your career to the next level.

Accelerate high potential women to leadership positions.

As an organisation committed to gender diversity, you want to attract high potential women and accelerate them to positions of leadership.

Often there is an elusive something missing that is holding women back. Gravitas is the thing leaders need to make an impact and be heard.

Gravitas is a learned behaviour and a surprising amount of progress can be made once you unlock an individual’s gravitas, which will help them get (and keep) the attention of their team, their peers, the executive team and you.

This is where The Gravitas Project comes in.

Take your career to the next level.

Leaders today need gravitas to make an impact and be heard. Your gravitas takes you further in the boardroom and in your career, and shows you to be the person to turn to when times are uncertain and decisions need to be made. If you're:

Becoming aware that the current strategy of "working really hard and doing a great job" will not get you where you want to go...
Worried that your "peak moment" will come and go and you'll be passed over for that "perfect" promotion
Scared of applying for more roles and not landing them and having to deal with the disappointment...
Feeling lost and awkward at networking events...
Craving honest feedback: "If someone would just tell me what the problem is, I'd fix it!"...
Frustrated and a little confused by the apparent upward movement of people who have less qualifications and experience...

Then The Gravitas Project is for you.

CFO

Invaluable for me. Has helped reset what I need to do and given me the guidance needed.

K.S.

Look at your career through a different prism with other great and interesting women from diverse backgrounds, in a safe, supportive and encouraging environment. It’s a bit like being re-energised with purpose.

A.P.

I enjoyed the program because it was a small group which felt very comfortable. Amanda is very genuine about wanting to help other women succeed, and very open and sharing of her own experiences.

CFO

I would recommend this program to anyone who is on the director journey but cannot work out how to differentiate themselves from the competition. It has also helped me determine what type of role would suit me.

S.K.

Women don’t do networking well and often feel it is a task that must be endured. This teaches how to make it natural and not pushy.

S.O.

It actually changes the way you think about your approach. Yes, we’re at a point in our career where experience is a given but how do we apply it to other careers and how do we change the discussion about how it is applied.

A.G.

Opportunity to gain a new perspective, learn new skills, think differently and of course networking in practice.

L.B.

Learning from an impressive woman … content was highly relevant and delivered in an engaging way.

Anon.

Small group learning … with high credibility.
