The program is part virtual, part in-person. The executive coaching and advisory board sessions will be virtual, but the ‘level-ups’ and curated social events will be in person.

Due to confidentiality and the need to create a safe space for candid conversations, virtual sessions will not be recorded.

On average, the compulsory time commitment is 1.5 hours per fortnight. 

Beyond this, participants are also encouraged to engage with each other and dig into bonus opportunities depending on their capacity.

There will be 1 x 90-minute virtual session per fortnight, alternating between Exec Coaching and Peer Advisory sessions. 

The specific day/time of these sessions will vary to suit your individual availability, as well as the availability of your Coaching and Peer Advisory group members. 

In addition to these fortnightly sessions, there will also be monthly in-person ‘level-up’ workshops, and optional social events and catch-ups.

We believe you get out what you put in. Given the limited cohort size, we want participants who are ready to commit to their growth and are present to support their fellow Ladymate Leaders. 

For this reason, attendance is mandatory. Participants who miss more than one session may be withdrawn from the program*, so please get in touch if you have concerns about your availability.

‍*except in extenuating circumstances

We appreciate that 'leadership' can be a bit hard to define, so we consider individual eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

• As a general guideline, this night look like:some text
  • A ‘Head of’ or ‘Chief of’ level or higher
  • A senior manager (i.e. with a team of 3+ direct reports)
  • A Founder
• If you believe your position in leadership sits outside these guidelines, we’d still encourage you to apply!

There are three types of mentoring/support women will receive through Ladymates Leadership.

• Firstly, there's small group exec coaching. We will match you with an exec coach based on your availability and individual goals.
• Secondly, there is peer mentoring. We'll group the cohort into 'peer advisory groups', where women will be able to work through challenges, soundboard ideas, and get feedback from other Ladymates Leaders who are facing similar challenges.
• Thirdly, there will be in-person 'level ups', where we will get a topic expert to come in to lead a workshop on something the Leaders request more support with.
  • Some examples of past sessions include ‘asserting influence through storytelling’ with Arabella Macpherson, ‘presence and body language’ with Lucy Allen, ‘having difficult conversations’ with May Samali, etc.  
  • The topic and expert will differ depending on what the women of the cohort request.
