Flagship CourseThe Compass Flagship 7 Day Leadership Course (spread over 3 months) is

a transformational program that links women’s ambition with their deepest

sense of purpose and core values. The program works on the premise that you

have to know your self before you can lead others. It is designed to bring out

women’s unique strengths and qualities in a supportive environment that fosters

collaboration, ultimately increasing leadership capability.

EMERGING LEADERS

Women who are capable yet can doubt their ability to step up and be noticed.

DIRECTORS AND HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS

Women who want to create sustainable cultural change within their organisation.

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS

Business owners looking for ways to effectively communicate and engage employees

whilst enhancing their personal leadership capabilities.

INDIVIDUALS

Individuals thinking of a career change, further study or gaining clarity on ‘what next’.

If you experience any of the below, the Compass 7-day Leadership

Course can help you identify and move through old habits in a

supportive and trusting environment and help you recraft the future you

want for yourself.

> Imposter syndrome

> Lacking clarity on what next for your life

> Having trouble bringing your authentic self to the table when

leading, for fear of being judged

> Negative self-talk and an inner critic that holds you back

> Being visible and speaking up

> Losing your voice among certain situations or people

> Avoiding difficult conversations

> Difficulty influencing and motivating your team

> Don’t consider yourself a leader (if it’s not in your job title)

> People pleasing and saying yes to everything but later feeling

overworked and out of balance sacrificing the things that really

matter to you

> Perfectionism and always feeling like you need to be in control

> Constantly comparing yourself to others

> Being hard on yourself

We desperately need more leaders who are committed to courageous,

wholehearted leadership and who are self-aware enough to lead from their

hearts, rather than unevolved leaders who lead from hurt and fear.

With the skills gained through this immersive 7-day course you will walk

away feeling empowered, using your voice in situations you previously

may have avoided.

You will feel more equipped to have difficult conversations that result

in constructive outcomes for all parties. Typically, we see women who

complete the course more able to…

> Take on new challenges at work

> Be promoted in their workplace

> Back themselves and their ideas for further development

opportunities and learning

> Feel more able to speak up if something is not sitting right in their

personal and professional life

> Address underlying issues which may have previously held them

back from achieving their greatest potential

> Live a richer and more fulfilled life

> Feel more connected to themselves and have a greater

understanding and appreciation for their skills and abilities

> Combat negative thinking patterns that can hinder success

Embarking on this transformational process, we start with a deep dive

into purpose – what are your core values, what does leadership mean to

you and how understanding this will set the path for a more fulfilling,

purposeful future.

MODULE 1 INVOLVES

> Connecting with the wider group and your Triad: these are the two

other women you’ll work closely with throughout the program. They

will become your coaches, trusted advisers and in many cases,

lifelong friends

> Completing an immersive values elicitation exercise which enables

you to clearly identify your core values; what ignites you, what drives

you, and what are you most passionate about

KEY TAKE OUTS

> A clearer sense of your core values and how these underpin your

goals

> Ability to recognise situations that work for you, as well as those

which may be triggering

> Clarity around why you do what you do and why it is important to you

Course Content

Our mind is a maze that we can often get lost in. With the help of the LSI

diagnostic tool (Learning Styles Inventory), module two provides a map to

the mind – exploring how we think, unpacking the stories we tell ourselves,

and understanding how mindfulness can be a breadcrumb trail when

seeking clarity.

MODULE 2 INVOLVES

> Understanding individual thinking styles and exploring your own

self-talk using the Life Styles Inventory (LSI) diagnostic. This is

followed by a speed coaching session with an LSI accredited coach

> Delving deep into the concept of mindfulness, including an

immersive mindfulness workshop with a leading expert

> Learning from experience – connecting with real life leaders via a

Q&A panel who speak openly and honestly about the challenges and

triumphs of their leadership journey

KEY TAKE OUTS

> A recognition of the power of your individual self-talk, and the impact

stories can have to both personally empower, and disempower

> Greater self-awareness and a renewed confidence to move through

challenging situations

> An ability to isolate and re-frame limiting beliefs that may have held

you back

The course content is fabulous. I have already taken so much away from the first module that I have been able to apply both at work and at home. I also have an inner contentment and satisfaction that I didn’t have before, knowing I have a support network is an incredibly powerful and positive part of the course for me.

By identifying a strategy for-self that is enduring and holistic, you will be

ready to start achieving your visionary goals. Once completed, our Inside-

Out session will help you better articulate yourself, be more visible in the

world, have greater influence and impact

MODULE 3 INVOLVES

> Creating a personal strategy map outlining purpose, values, personal

outcomes – for you, your relationships and your work

> Recognising different learning styles (using the 4Mat Learning Type

Measure) and understanding how to better craft your message to

engage a wider audience

> Exploring the concept of being authentically visible in work and life;

during the Inside-Out session we equip you with new skills on how

to communicate this outwardly (both in your physical presence and

verbal presentation)

KEY TAKE OUTS

> An understanding the fundamentals of effective communication

considering different learning styles

> An ability to succinctly craft a message to engage your target

audience

> A tangible action plan that encompasses your goals, your values and

your purpose

> A new-found courage to better lead and achieve your visionary

goals, both personally and professionally

Graduation day is a celebration; an opportunity to share, with your Triad

and the group, your experience and learnings from the course. It gives

you a chance to put into practice the knowledge that you have acquired

in a deeply supportive environment. This is always a highly emotive,

engaging and thought-provoking day which showcases authentic

women’s leadership at its best.

We have seen this course have a truly transformational effect on women -

on graduation day, we want to hear your story!

G R A D U A T I O N - A C E L E B R A T I O N O F L E A R N I N G ( 1 D A Y )

The values and purpose work really came together in Module 3 and the path feels very clear now with the completion of the Personal Strategy Map and Inside Out session.

Compass has so much content that it’s hard to digest all at once. Just because the course has ended doesn’t mean your learning has! The post course mentoring sessions have been a great way to remind me of what I’ve learnt and how to apply it to what’s happening now in my life. It’s also a great way to stay connected with your cohort and make new connections with the other alumnae.

We have supported over 1,000 women to unlock their courage...

Compass founder and key facilitator, Fabian Dattner is one of Australia’s most recognised leadership

experts. Twice voted one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence (2015 and 2019), and a silver award winner

at the International Stevie Awards for Women Helping Women in Business, Fabian has given two TED talks

and is the author of four books on leadership. She is also the co-founder and CEO of Homeward Bound,

a global initiative that equips women with a background in science with the skills to influence decision

making and policy-making as it informs the future of the planet. The program, which culminates in a 20-

day expedition on a ship in Antarctica, launched in December 2016 and is estimated to have reached more

than 300 million people through coverage in the NY Times, Forbes and global media. A feature film based

on the program was released in June 2020. An unconventional thinker and compassionate leader, Fabian is

an unforgettable facilitator who has inspired and coached hundreds of women to take a more courageous

path.

Michelle has coached hundreds of women and knows first hand how they can be their own harshest critics.

She is a pivotal part in the delivery of the Compass – Visionary Leadership for Women program.

Constructive leadership remains at the heart of what she does, and she knows it is needed now more

than ever before. She brings these insights to her coaching and facilitation practice, supporting other

leaders through their personal growth and change commitments. As a Director in both Dattner Group and

Homeward Bound, Michelle is mindfully committed to social, economic, and environmental sustainability.

Since 2005, she has been the financial steward of the business, enabling a more stable proposition of

success. Success in business for Michelle is to build more inclusive and sustainable resources, reduce

inequality and focus on agility and resilience during challenging times. She is accredited in Life Styles

Inventory™ (LSI 1 & 2), Group Styles Inventory™ (GSI), MSCEIT™ emotional intelligence diagnostic, Myers-

Briggs Type Indicator™ (MBTI) and DiSC© personality diagnostic. These tools are integrated into her work

Cass joins the Compass Leadership Program for Women as a facilitator and coach with a shared passion for

purpose and values driven leadership. For women to step into their full potential it can take a huge dose of

courage at times, and Cass believes that women do this best when they do it together, collaborating, sharing

knowledge and committing to the change they want to make. Cass is no stranger to courage, navigating

career and life intersections around a drive to always learn and make a difference. As a veterinarian, this was

all about animal welfare and the human/animal bond, then contributing at a sector level in Animal Health

industry leadership roles. With two kids under 5 she completed her Masters (a decision, she might tell you,

was a little ambitious in hindsight!), taking her learnings into the resources sector to work more broadly across

STEMM fields, growing the leaders who are tackling the challenges around our energy future. Having worked

on assignments across Asia Pacific, including shipyard village life in Korea, Cass returned to Australia in 2016

with her family. Having walked alongside women leaders in challenging contexts, her resolve to change the

representation of women in leadership led her to Dattner Group, where she is a consultant and co-director of

the coaching business.

What leaders who invest in their women say...

The City of Greater Bendigo has now had 20 women complete the Compass program. The feedback from the participants has been overwhelmingly positive in terms of personal and professional growth and development. They are more self-aware, are challenging their own behaviours and the stories they tell themselves and are actively seeking opportunities to step outside of their comfort zones to stretch and grow.

After participating in the Compass flagship leadership course the team are far more confident in each other, more trusting and open - both personally and professionally, whilst the commonality of language and the value of shared experience cannot be underestimated.

Since completing the course the participants have reported reduced stress resulting in improved ability to negotiate work pressures and requirements, being better prepared to undertake secondments and acting opportunities at a more senior level.

Over the past few years we have had a number of our senior women attend the Dattner Group Compass program as part of our initiative to improve diversity in our business, particularly in leadership positions. The feedback from our attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, with most stating that the course has been transformative and invaluable for them from both a personal and professional perspective at home and at work. After attending the course all our participants stepped up into more senior roles and I have no doubt that the skills they gained on the course helped them to flourish in these roles, giving them the confidence and tools to be heard at work and at home. This has helped us to increase our gender diversity to 38% and in particular increased our diversity in leadership roles and as a result we are seeing improved business performance as an outcome.

For several years now, Broken Hill City Council has sponsored and supported women to participate in the National leadership development program for women, Compass. After attending the most recent (in-person) Graduation day, I was truly blown away by the openness, vulnerability and honesty that the Compass participants demonstrated.

“I’m not a leader and am not even sure if I want to be one.”

Leadership is a state of mind, not a job title. You may be an emerging artist, a

woman returning to work after having children or the CEO of a large corporation.

We challenge you, and will empower you, to develop your leadership in whatever

sphere you wish to have impact. First and foremost, this means showing up to and

valuing yourself.

“I’m already leading and succeeding. I don’t need another leadership program.”

Compass will challenge you to go deeper; to know yourself better, to address the

thought patterns and behaviours that are holding you back and to build on your

many strengths. It’s a space to gain clarity on your purpose, articulate your values,

work on your communication skills and set new visionary goals – then map and

execute the strategy to get yourself, and others, there.

“I don’t have the time.”

There will always be competing priorities; others’ needs and many demands. But if

not you, who? If not now, when?

“I don’t have the money.”

Women, in particular, struggle to invest in themselves. Our response is that by

allowing yourself to gain clarity on who you are, where you want to go and how to

secure your legacy, it’s not just you who will benefit but everyone around you, too.

We can arrange payment plans and support you into the future as an ambassador.

“I’m unclear on my life direction.”

Then this program is for you. We’ve supported hundreds of women to make small

and large changes to make their lives and work more meaningful and fulfilling. Lean

into the discomfort of deeper learning, choose courage rather than confidence, and

watch as clarity emerges.

“My boss/workplace/partner won’t support me to attend.”

Leadership starts with finding your voice and articulating what you need and why.

The impacts on organisations and families from women attending Compass are

myriad. We can support you on building a business case or reframing your position.

“It’s networking I need, not development.”

Compass is built on the principle that at their best, women work collaboratively and

non-hierarchically. The program attracts women from a range of sectors and levels

and is designed to create lasting connections. Our growing alumnae network offers

a deep and wide opportunity to connect with hundreds more women who have

experienced the same deep insights and outcomes and can support you on your

journey.

Taking a leap like this can be daunting, but what is the cost of standing still?

If any of the above sounds familiar, we would love to hear from you.

What our participants say...

Compass has given me the tools to consciously lead from a place of deep understanding of myself as well as others. The transformational power of the program is profound.

F o u n d i n g P a r t n e r a n d H e a d o f P r o d u c t i o n , M a t c h b o x P i c t u r e s

Compass has been a program of self-reflection and gathering of tools to understand why I am the way I am in the world. It’s given me clear understanding of my values and how to live life authentically to what is important to me. With a greater insight to who I am, I can now better understand my impact on, and I how I lead others.

Compass helped me to get really clear on the unhelpful stories I tell myself that, ultimately, hold me back from being effective at work and in my relationships. I’m now able to shift my stories to something more constructive. I feel like I know myself much better and am better equipped to handle challenges thrown my way!

C H R I S T I N A C A N T E R S

D i r e c t o r , T h e C M e t h o d

So often, as women, we put ourselves last. Not only did Compass allow me to indulge in time for me and self-reflection, it gave me insights and tools to use that will positively impact my life at work, at home and with myself. I feel very privileged to have been a part of this. It makes me want to join Compass in order to help other women more!

The LSI identifies the underlying thoughts and motivations that guide an individual’s

behaviour. Often referred to as personal styles, management styles and leadership styles,

these represent the essence of an individual’s effectiveness. Millions of people have

completed this tool worldwide over the last 20 years. Our most transformational diagnostic

will shed light on where your time and energy is directed and whether it is a constructive

use of that time and energy.

Diagnostics & Additional Coaching OptionsCovering behaviour and learning styles, these diagnostics seek to provide powerful personal insights in a deeply supportive environment.

LSI (Life Styles Inventory™)

When used in conjunction with the LSI 1, the LSI 2 provides objective feedback on an

individual’s behaviour patterns as interpreted by others. Whilst the LSI 2 diagnostic tool is

not used in the Compass Flagship 7 Day Leadership Course it is available as an additional

extra. It is a 360-degree tool to provide you with the valuable opportunity to take a closer

look at yourself through the eyes of others who know you well.

LSI 2 (Life Styles Inventory 2™)

An ability test used to measure emotional intelligence. It is a useful tool that provides

further insight into one’s self to better understand your own and others’ emotions and

to use emotions to think more effectively. With Emotional Intelligence (EI) surpassing IQ

as a metric to inform leadership success, the MSCEIT diagnostic and coaching package

complements the LSI diagnostic seamlessly, whilst it is not used in the Compass Flagship 7

Day Leadership Course it is available as an additional extra.

DATTNER GROUP TAILORED COACHING

Creating a culture of rapid and adaptive learning allows people to contribute to our complex

and changing world. The need and expectation to acquire new skills and knowledge has

intensified. Equally, organisations want to populate themselves with switched on leaders at

all levels – resilient, self-directed learners who can innovate, adapt strategies and progress

common goals together. Coaching is recognised as one of the most impactful ways to

develop and achieve in adaptive environments. To advance and strive for the higher goals,

it takes more than execution of task. It’s about leveraging potential and removing interferences

or barriers.
