"The best thing about Ladymates Leadership is the instant connection to a support network of women, all navigating similar aspects of work and career. It's the brains trust we've all been missing! And such an uplifting part of my week."
"Joining Ladymates Leadership gives me the chance to connect with like-minded women, share our struggles, and learn how to handle new situations. I'm using this collective wisdom to help me do better in my role and support my community, while also becoming part of a new community of like-minded women."
"Ladymates has reminded and reinforced for me the value in creating time to pause and actively think and reflect before choosing a course of action. This is a lesson I'm working to integrate more and more into my everyday decision making."
"The best thing has truly been meeting the amazing cohort of women. In terms of the content we've covered, it would be hard to pick just one thing - but I think the top two would probably be learning about my saboteurs and the workshop on difficult conversations. I've printed out the problems vs possibilities image and have it next to my computer as a reminder!"
"Love this whole concept. It really was an opportunity to be part of something very special at the outset. The learnings, personal growth and the friendships have been worth every second. I was seeking a community when I applied, but I ended up with so much more."
"Loved the more casual convo style of our peer advisory groups - made it feel more like a group of friends sharing advice / tips with each other."
"Coaching is awesome. You absolutely get the most out of it by paying close attention to your peers because you learn while they talk."
"I've been coming away from every session with tangible, practical advice to tackle my biggest challenges from people who've actually been through it before or are currently navigating the same thing. Plus, it's been really special to meet such an awesome group of women."

We appreciate women in leadership are some of the busiest people out there, so this initiative is high impact, low time commitment (~2-4h per month).Â
â
âTo truly support our Ladymate Leaders, we want to continue iterating this initiative to best suit the women in our community. Book in a quick chat here to share your feedback and help us build this with you, and for you.

đ A leader in a startup or tech company
We appreciate that âleadershipâ has varying definitions. This might look like: âHead ofâ or âChief ofâ 'Founder' 'Senior Manager' etc.
If you are not quite at the âleadershipâ level yet, weâd encourage you to check out Ladymates Collective - this is for women in startups at any level!

Join ANZ's largest startup community
The membership is part virtual, part in-person. The executive coaching and advisory board sessions will be virtual, but the âlevel-upsâ 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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
In addition to these fortnightly sessions, there will also be monthly in-person âlevel-upâ 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 Ladymates Leaders.Â
For this reason, attendance is mandatory. Participants who miss more than one session may be withdrawn from the membership*, so please get in touch if you have concerns about your availability.
â*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.
There are three types of mentoring/support women will receive through Ladymates Leadership.

We recognise intersectional disadvantages, and we appreciate that some women are also impacted by additional discrimination (based on age, disability, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc). While we can't dismantle these systems on our own, Startmate offers partial scholarships for eligible candidates.
