Oomph Your Life with Sally Earnshaw

What helps leaders turn fresh thinking into action - and make a lasting impact?

Leadership and performance specialist Sally Earnshaw will lead two hours of hands-on learning using the Oomph Your Life framework. Participants will assess their leadership strengths and explore practical tools to use with colleagues, clients and teams.

  • Oomph Your Thinking - Spot opportunities, challenge assumptions and build belief in what is possible.
  • Oomph Your Execution - Focus on what matters, follow through and meet setbacks with a resilient mindset.
  • Oomph Your Impact - Build trust, strengthen your influence and understand the warmth and competence cues that shape your leadership presence.

Every segment is interactive, whatever your role or experience.

Leave with a practical toolkit, a clearer understanding of your leadership strengths and one bold commitment to act on. 

 

Real Talk on Leadership

Hear candid perspectives from senior industry figures and previous award winners on the challenges and opportunities facing women in leadership today.

This panel brings lived experience into the conversation, providing an opportunity to consider different approaches and reflect on what they mean for your own leadership.

Connect with peers. Celebrate achievement.

Conversations continue over lunch, with time to exchange ideas and build relationships across the leadership community.

Irish comedian and author Emma Doran brings her sharp observational humour to the afternoon before the CCA Women in Leadership Awards 2026 presentation.

The peer-nominated and peer-judged Awards recognise leadership at every stage—from emerging talent and mentoring to innovation, allyship and the contribution of women’s networks.

 

Make it a development day for your team

Attend individually or with colleagues who could benefit from practical learning and fresh perspectives.

The day offers an opportunity to support an emerging leader, recognise someone’s contribution or develop a shared approach to leadership within your team.

Attendance is open to everyone interested in the programme, whether or not their organisation has an Awards finalist.
