The Leadership Lab

Right now, you’re the one everyone comes to with questions. 

You’re making all the decisions. 

You know how to work hard. You know how to problem-solve. But you are tired of carrying the full weight of leadership alone. 

“Leadership is not a problem to be solved with tools and templates. It’s a human art — and it requires human support.”  

Join us for a 4-week leadership experience for established women business owners who are tired of overthinking decisions, absorbing everyone else’s stress, and feeling like they can’t step away — even if you’ve been leading successfully for years. 

The Leadership Lab is that support. Four weeks with real women, working through real decisions, held by someone who has led for 30+ years. 

“The next level of leadership isn’t about doing more. It’s about becoming someone different.” 

What becomes easier after The Leadership Lab: 

  • You’re able to make decisions in a matter of days (not WEEKS), without second-guessing yourself (even when the stakes of that decision are high). 
  • Confidently say “Here is the direction this business is going” and feel confident in your choice — even if your team pushes back. 
  • Set a boundary and actually stick to it, without guilt or a 10-paragraph explanation of your thought process 
  • Lead your team and business WITHOUT absorbing all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. 

The Leadership Lab gives you space, structure, and support for your leadership development… NOT more theory and information.

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
