IMPACT Mastery Program
women leading | IMPACT Mastery Program
The IMPACT Mastery Program forms part of a diverse
suite of leadership and career programs designed to
address the needs of professional women. The program
is action-focused, facilitating personal achievement within
and for the organisation.
The IMPACT Mastery Program is structured flexibly and
is delivered in a six-month time frame, using the Women
Leading with IMPACTTM model. A variety of media
are used to showcase inspirational men and women,
and share contemporary ideas from Australian and
international thought leaders.
Women Leading with IMPACTTM
IMPACT has evolved out of the collective experience of
Executive Central Women Leading coaches, and is aimed
at unlocking potential and identifying opportunities for
women on a leadership journey. We aim to inspire and
transform, sharing the skills, knowledge, mind-sets and
tools for success.
At the centre of Women Leading with IMPACTTM is the
IMPACT strengths-based leadership model.
The IMPACT leadership model is informed by current
research on management and leadership. Executive
Central is engaged in research programs in conjunction
with Monash University and The University of NSW, to
build knowledge specific to the needs of the Australian
leadership and coaching community.
THE STRENGTHS BASED APPROACH
The foundation of the work we do is unlocking potential
and developing strengths. Strengths Finder is a
wonderful self-assessment online inventory through
which the participant is able to identify their talents
and strengths, and then in consultation with the
coach, formulate plans to mobilize those talents and
strengths for maximum impact in the organisation
and marketplace. People who do the Strengthsfinder
work find it inevitably find it to be an affirming and
empowering experience.
Prior to the program, participants are provided
with the Strengths Finder 2.0 code to individually
complete the Strengths Finder Survey. They then
receive a comprehensive Strengths report. We
explore with the participants individually what these
results mean, looking at:
THE MODEL: The strengths model and how it applies
to them as individuals, to their teams and other people
they work with.
THEMSELVES: Their own individual talents and
strengths.
THE OPPORTUNITIES: How they can enhance
their ability to create their own opportunities and
possibilities to lead.

READING MATERIALS AND A MULTI-MEDIA
APPROACH
Participants are asked to prepare for the group workshops
with reading and reflection. We source current articles
and papers from research providers such as McKinsey
& HBR, as well as accessing insights from Australian
university researchers and industry/professional journals.
A multi-media approach incorporates links and video to
provide stimulus and inspiration.

WORKSHOP THEMES
Each of the workshops explores a theme as provided by
the IMPACT model. The workshops are action-focused,
delivering practical leadership tools and strategies that
facilitate immediate change. Participants enjoy the latest
thinking from around the world on these leadership topics,
through stimulating multi- media materials. The workshops
are very interactive and participants are challenged to try
out new behaviours and continue them back in the work
environment.
At Women Leading we do not believe that the topics
covered in Leadership Programs should necessarily be
any different for women than for men: we all, for example
need to learn about networking. However we would
argue that there are benefits of establishing stand-alone
women’s leadership programs, with a focus on the issues
and strategies that have been researched as being
pertinent to women. Networking is a good example, as
historically women have struggled to participate in an
activity dominated by masculine approaches.
The IMPACT Mastery Program topics
include:
POWER: Historically women have an uneasy
relationship with power – having and using power.
We challenge you to investigate your relationship with
power, and play with the idea of being a powerful
person. Use of the StrengthsFinder model will help you
identify and develop your own unique source of power.
After a brief review of the model, the focus is on putting
it into practice: owning your power, navigating power
and driving performance.

The IMPACT Mastery Program topics continued:
INNOVATION: Here we explore a dynamic area of
practice: creativity and innovation. You will look at
creating the conditions for individual and organisational
creativity, and managing for creativity and innovation,
whether from the perspective of the manager or the
managed. What does an innovative culture look like and
how well does our organisational culture support the
innovation process? Who can we look to as role models
for creativity and innovation?
ACHIEVEMENT: What are the mechanics of
Achievement?
You need to know where you want to get
to, have a strong desire to get there and take considered
risks to get what you want.
You rarely get to achievement
without stepping out of your comfort zone to grasp
opportunities. We work to get clear on what it is you
want to achieve, setting clear goal posts and planning to
create a support team.
COMMUNICATION: Communication is always a core
competency for leadership. Communication skills
range from the ability to build effective interpersonal
relationships to the ability to make an impact with
presentations and leadership presence. We unpack the
skills of communication, looking at leadership presence
and influencing skills, use of language and powerful
presentations. We use examples of highly successful
presenters to unpack what makes them successful. There
will be the opportunity for practicing these skills in a
lively and interactive environment, and then carrying this
development back in the workplace.

PERSONAL BRANDING: Personal Branding is less
about appearances and more about substance. It’s
about self-identity, self-efficacy, finding your unique
voice and feeling comfortable
in your own skin. It’s
about understanding your strengths, and about the
self-management aspects of emotional intelligence.
We explore this idea in detail and work with our own
personal brand.
MENTORING: Mentoring is a powerful strategy for
leadership development, both as a mentee and as a
mentor. Mentoring is distinct from coaching and from
sponsoring. We unpack the women with significant
organisational responsibility, e.g. directors, executives,
emerging female executive talent and recently promoted
female managers.
NETWORKING AND CONNECTIVITY: We help you build
practical skills in connecting and collaborating with others
and creating networks. Connectivity is essential to “getting
things done” within, between and beyond organizations.
We engage the client in a critical reflection on emotional
intelligence, leveraging strengths and remediating gaps
that might be impacting on performance. We share
insights and develop plans together for networking.
TENACITY: The principle of Tenacity is best reflected in
the words resilience and optimism. Put simply, resilience
is the ability to ‘bounce back’ and keep going in the face
of challenges. We work with clients on resilience skills.
We challenge mindsets that prevent clients from moving
forward and help them sustain optimism based on a
strong identity and self-belief.
