CEO Cohort

Where The Women Leading the Territory Learn, Connect & Collaborate

A private, carefully curated cohort for women CEOs who want trusted peers, clearer decisions and a place to think out loud.

CEO leadership is different, especially in Darwin. 

The women leading the Territory are too often leading in isolation. You’re always looking over your shoulder to make sure you can’t be overhead, your executive team can’t carry it with you, and that’s not your boards role. 

Yet, there is a huge amount of talent here and the CEO Cohort is where we connect it. 

This is not another networking event. This is an intentionally curated room without competitors or reporting lines where you can put what’s troubling you most on the table.

It’s time for us to talk if you’re feeling:

    • Constant pressure to act, without space to think
    • Leading without a trusted sounding board
    • Second-guessing every decision in isolation
    • Wondering how to meaningfully build your network

What is the CEO Cohort?

The CEO Cohort is an exclusive group of up to 12 women who lead Territory organisations. By joining you are making a commitment to each other.

The only way to join the cohort is by invitation to confirm fit, conflicts and commitment. You are then invited to an Introductory Lunch.

Once you commit we meet every second month over lunch, in a confidential and committed environment designed for honest conversation, sharper thinking and meaningful connection.

This is not another networking event. It is a leadership collective: women who understand the weight of the role and are prepared to show up for one another.

You bring what is real and relevant. The room brings experience, perspective, challenge and support. I bring the structure, coaching and specialist support to create bespoke learning as required.

Nothing leaves the table.

What you will gain

Make decisions with greater confidence: Talk through the decisions that matter with women who understand the complexity of the top leadership job, so you can move forward with greater clarity and conviction.

Access a trusted leadership collective: Build real relationships with accomplished women who are in your corner—not just contacts you see at an event, but peers you can call on when you need perspective or a contact outside your current network.

Develop around what matters now: There is no generic curriculum. The Cohort sets the agenda around the live issues, opportunities and growth that matters to the women in the room.

Speak honestly: Bring the messy, unresolved and high-stakes challenges without looking over your shoulder or editing yourself.

Give yourself permission to evolve: Refine, pivot or simplify your leadership and strategy without losing your impact.

Over time, you become a leader who is backed, sharper, clearer about where she is heading—and able to enjoy the job more.

Not ready to commit?
From reactive to remarkable

Become a clearer, more aligned and strategic leader — confident in your decisions and focused on what matters most. You stop spinning and start shaping your business and leadership with intention.

I’ve been a CEO

I’ve been the CEO of an NFP. I know what it is to have a board bigger than the team and understand the pressure to be certain, decisive, and unshakeable. I also know that real power comes from clarity, not pretending to have all the answers.

You don’t need another leadership framework — you need time and space to think like the leader you already are. Add in the support of those who understand the role and the issues you face and suddenly leadership isn’t so lonely.

What stood out about working with Bron was her ability to create space for deep, unstructured conversations that uncovered insights I didn’t even realise I needed, alongside a strong financial lens that completely shifted how I evaluate opportunities.

Bron has this innate way of helping you see that you already know, you have the answer already, you just need to see it, to trust it! That builds big confidence. And she’s expert at pointing out what you haven’t even considered yet, in a way you’ve never framed it before!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the CEO Cohort for?

The Cohort is for women who run Territory organisations—CEOs, General Managers and organisational leaders who carry the responsibility of leading at the top. 

How do I know if it’s the right group for me?

All participants go through a screening and waitlisting process. This defines the criteria to join a cohort and ensures there are no shared reporting lines or common industries. 

How much time does it require?

The core commitment is six three-hour lunches over 12 months, held every second month.

There is also a private group chat and a brief fortnightly reflection activity. You can participate in these as much or as little as you’d like.

This feels like a big time and/or financial commitment?

You’re right — this is a big commitment. Both to yourself and the other women in the room.

However, in the scheme of your working life, three hours every second month to invest in making that experience better is absolutely worth it. You are worth it. And what you discover  through this cohort won’t just shift your leadership — it will ripple into every part of your life.

What happens if I cannot attend a lunch?

Life and leadership responsibilities arise. The important thing is clear communication and a commitment to contribute consistently to the room across the year.

What if my industry is already represented?

The program protects one seat per industry. If your industry is represented, you can register your interest for a future Cohort or discuss alternative support options with Bron.

Is this coaching or mentoring?

The CEO Cohort combines facilitated peer learning, executive coaching and, where useful, specialist expertise. The focus is not on giving you a prescribed answer; it is on helping you access stronger thinking, broader perspective and the right next step for your context.

I want to work with you, but I am looking for something different, do you offer custom programs?

I can, let’s book a free call call and talk through what you’re looking for to see if I can help you.
