Fishbowl session

Women are well represented in junior and mid-level managerial roles at higher education institutions, but senior leadership remains male-dominated territory. What are the skills needed to thrive in leadership and how can they be attained? How can women find the support they need to lead successful and fulfilling careers? This session aims to go beyond explanations for gender imbalance and propose ways to successfully climb the ladder – and not fall from it.
