CivicaNet Webinars

Lead Boldy, Learn Strategically, Connect With Purpose

CivicaNet’s monthly webinars unite women driving public impact, from government to education to civic innovation, to share insight, sharpen leadership, and stay connected in a fast-changing world. These are not just broadcasts. Each session is designed to offer actionable value, shared wisdom, and real community.

Upcoming Webinar: Influencing Stakeholders Up and Across

Tuesday 23rd September, 9:30-10:30am GMT
 
Join senior leaders from across the public and private sectors for a powerful conversation on navigating influence, credibility, and impact in leadership — even when the power isn’t formally yours.

Together, we’ll explore how to influence the right people in the right way at the right time, and what it really takes to build credibility whether you identify as an introvert or an extrovert. We’ll tackle the barriers women face in leadership, from intersectionality and representation pressures to cultural differences between public and private sector leadership. And because leadership is never just professional, we’ll also look at how to balance ambition with wellbeing and life outside of work.

This webinar is designed for women at every stage of their leadership journey. If you’re ready to strengthen your influence, expand your impact, and navigate leadership with confidence, this session is for you. With Genine Whitehorne, Heather Laing, Laura Eshelby, Sarah Ireland, and Tricia Morrison
