Transformational leadership program for Women in STEM that creates courageous, enduring, impactful female leaders
Women in STEM IMPACT Female Leadership Program
Women in STEM experience increased barriers to retention, leadership development and success. This is typically due to a complex and systemic web of cultural and procedural factors, underpinned by STEM disciplines being primarily male-dominated. These barriers impact women’s participation, resilience, and self-belief in leadership skills, which perpetuate as barriers themselves.
Aya Leadership’s Women in STEM IMPACT Leadership Program has been developed to specifically address and negate these barriers. It has been tailored to rapidly transform the leadership of established female leaders working in the STEM industry, so they develop enduring confidence, reach their potential as experts and create impact as leaders. The program nurtures important protective factors for STEM women, including:
- Developing as a leader
- Understanding self
- Having visibility and voice
- Confidence and influence
- Resilience
- Building resource networks and mentoring
This specialist STEM focused program focuses on the nuances of leadership for women working in STEM industries specifically.

One-on-one coaching
I started to understand my values and how they influence my leadership style, attitudes and behaviour. I started to define my leadership purpose with conviction, clarity and passion. I have been reminded of the absolute criticality of building and nurturing relationships and networks both professionally and personally.

Experienced Technology Leader
The program has challenged me to be accountable. To sit down and expend energy and cognitive processes to define myself as a leader with values and purpose and then put those into practice. This program equipped me with effective tools and confidence to challenge myself and hold myself accountable to building a team with purpose and shared values.
I cannot thank you enough… I actually feel confident to call myself a Leader now!

As a very experienced leader at a crossroads in my career, I was exploring transition in my professional life.
Aya Leadership’s program provided me the space to reflect, learn and discover the next steps in my professional journey. It provided the tools and frameworks to refine my personal leadership purpose. I was immersed into a journey of self-discovery and generative action planning for how to lead and live a more purpose centred life. I left the course with a stronger sense of determination and a way forward to achieve traction on new ideas.
