Summary
The Influential Women Forums were sponsored to help develop effective advocates for the industry. Influential Women workshops were undertaken in rural Australia and combined Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessments with ENGAGE training. This was designed to build confidence in participants by increasing self-awareness and recognising and celebrating differences in people to build a better team and develop communication styles. ENGAGE training combines elements of social and mainstream media, effective values based messaging and developing presentations and spokesperson training. A final report from each workshop was provided by the event organisers, however they are not available publicly.
