What You’ll Gain

You’ll build genuine relationships with women in your own region while also connecting with participants across the state.

You’ll:

➡️ Be part of a local POD in your region

➡️ Join cross-regional online sessions with women from across NSW

➡️ Build trusted relationships and long-term support networks

➡️ Share experiences with others who understand the unique opportunities and challenges of regional life

This program is designed to reduce isolation and increase collaboration — because thriving doesn’t happen alone.

Practical Knowledge from Experts

Across 12 weeks, you’ll learn from experienced professionals and subject matter experts across key areas, including:

1. Marketing – growing visibility and communicating your value

2. Finance – building financial literacy and confidence

3. Governance & Leadership – strengthening decision-making and accountability

4. Wellbeing & Sustainability – preventing burnout and leading in a way that’s energising, not exhausting

5. And other topics critical to sustainable growth and community impact

Each session is practical, relevant and designed for real-world application in regional contexts.

Support from an Experienced Coach

Throughout the program, you’ll be guided by an experienced coach who understands business, leadership and regional realities.

You’ll receive:

• Structured guidance and accountability

• Space for reflection and strategic thinking

• Support to implement what you’re learning

• Encouragement to step into your next level with clarity and confidence

This is about transformation — not just information.
