The Leadership Compass The ultimate guide for women leaders to reach their full potential

An inspirational and evidence-based guide for women leaders. The Leadership Compass is not about fixing women. Rather, it is a compass to guide women to reach their leadership potential and navigate a system that is still fundamentally stacked against them. It is also a tool to help those already in leadership positions to close the leadership gender gap in their organisations. According to author and award-winning diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategist Michelle Redfern, women need to know, and be known for, critical business skills to reach their full leadership potential. In this practical and empowering book, she also covers: • learning leadership skills to drive growth • how to lead for a more significant organisational impact • becoming known as a businesswoman who can lead herself, others and organisations. Drawn from the experiences of a leader who has been there and done that, The Leadership Compass is essential reading for women at all stages of their career.

Michelle Redfern’ s expertise is in helping business and sports organisations develop and implement effective DEI strategies. She also works directly with women leaders to support their career advancement. Michelle is the founder of Advancing Women in Business and Sport, and a co-founder of Lead to Soar, a multi-platform resource that includes an online network, podcast and leadership summit for women. She is also the host of the Advancing Women in Sport podcast.
