Resurgence Leadership Diversity Programs are specifically designed to assist aspiring and established female managers in male dominated environments (corporate Australia) to understand and engage with the dynamic forces that shape organisations and business environments.
The Men’s Leadership Diversity Programs provide men with greater practical leadership skills, self-awareness and confidence to thrive in a gender/age and ethnically diverse workplace. This enables the removal of many of the men’s unconscious biases and hence barriers to the progress of women to more senior roles.

Using the Resurgence Change Framework, we use a structured and systematic approach to managing Change (particularly Cultural Change). We then focus on leading Change. To effectively manage and guide others through change and uncertainty, leaders first need to understand their own response to change and explore strategies for managing change at a personal level. Using case studies, we explore change responses likely within an organisation and identify likely risks arising from managing teams through significant change. In particular key stages of change such as ‘Dealing with Uncertainty’ and ‘Threats and Opportunities’ are examined. The focus is on developing strategies and practical techniques for managing others through these critical stages of change.
Participants complete an on-line questionnaire prior to attending the session to determine their Change Response ‘type’ and receive a detailed report.
