From potential to performance.

More Australian women are in paid work today than at any point in history. Yet, there remains significant opportunity to grow their reputation in leadership and decision-making roles. Foward-thinking organisations are seizing this moment to cultivate a pipeline of talented women, unlocking greater innovation, productivity, and reputational gains.

The Platinum+ Emerging Leaders program is designed for this very purpose. Delivered flexibly and online, Platinum+ provides a practical leadership pathway for mid-career women, helping them progress to senior roles. We empower our cohorts with the skills and confidence to lead, while giving organisations the tools to recognise, reward, and retain the invaluable talent they've worked hard to develop.

Diamond Membership

Where confidence meets capability.

Platinum+ Emerging Leaders is designed around three pillars of confidence, capability and connection. At FW, we consider these to be the building blocks of retention, progression, and long-term performance.

For six years, Platinum+ has been creating confident women leaders, building stronger teams and shaping workplaces where women can thrive. Platinum+ is more than professional development. It’s an investment in the leadership your organisation needs for the future.

Our program backs female talent and amplifies their voices. It gives them the tools and support needed to push past roadblocks and build their careers. Platinum+ doesn't ignore the structural barriers to women's success. This program was designed to turbocharge their unique potential and help them claim the leadership opportunities they've already earned.

Who is Platinum+ designed for?

What is the time commitment for Platinum+?

As an employer, how can I receive feedback on my employee's engagement with the program?

Investing in a leadership program like Platinum+ Emerging Leaders is a commitment to the personal success of your employees. We recognise that it is also a financial commitment, and organisations rightly want to know if it is providing value for money and delivering results.

FW’s comprehensive mid-year and final reports keep you firmly in the know. We provide detailed information about your employees’ engagement in the program, as well as survey results that reflect their personal assessment of the activities on offer.

You’ll be able to review the overall participation, engagement and achievements of your participating employees, at a glance. You’ll also be able to dive deep into the experience and results of individual team members, to better understand their leadership journey.

Our reporting and evaluation captures both qualitative and quantitative data to provide a robust picture of capability uplift, engagement levels and participant feedback.
