Women’s One Day Workshop & Networking Events
LEADING REIN PRESENTS
This one-day workshop starts with you.
It’s a space to pause, step out of the daily busyness, and take a clearer look at how you show up in your role, your relationships, and the parts of life that often move too fast to reflect on.
Blending practical tools, personal insight, and experiential learning, this day is designed to help you understand the patterns behind how you lead, communicate, and respond in real-time, and in a way that feels grounded, useful, and relevant to the complexity of your everyday world.
Because you can’t shift what you can’t see.
And if you’ve been looking for a place to start, this is it.
This isn’t just another PD workshop..
Taking the learning out of the classroom and into real-time practice. Working alongside horses and others, you’ll see how your approach impacts communication, teamwork and leadership, and experiment with new ways of showing up under pressure. It’s not theory you’ll forget, it’s lived experience that sticks. Along the way you’ll connect with other women in business and leadership roles, and walk away with fresh perspective, practical strategies and the confidence to apply them in your work and life.
What to Expect In The 1 Day Development Workshop.
Step outside routine and see yourself in a new way. You’ll uncover strengths you may overlook, recognise the impact you have on others, and explore fresh ways to lead and collaborate, inviting you to challenge old habits, stretch past comfort zones, and discover possibilities you might not have considered.
The Path to Personal and Professional Alignment
Part of the day involves working with horses from the ground. There’s no riding, and you need no previous horse experience, or even an affinity to horses to get value from this event. Take a listen to your facilitator Melissa and hear why this is not like the traditional way of working with horses and why it works.
If you own or run a business, lead and work with others
You know how the drive to achieve and keep everything running can tip you into default stress responses. This day helps you see those patterns, so you can respond in ways that support your energy and your leadership.
Delegation Over Doing 🚨 You don’t always have to carry it all. See how letting others step in, contribute, and share responsibility strengthens both you and the people around you.
Find Your Superpowers 🚨 Identify your unique and authentic leadership style and how that plays out with others.
Beyond Performance 🚨 When old patterns take over, they keep you stuck in past based strategies that may need updating for today. This day helps you identify blind spots and step into a more sustainable way of leading and working towards where you want to go next.
Your Facilitator
Melissa Duniam
As the 2023 Tasmanian winner of the AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award, I’m passionate about delivering practical, down-to-earth workshops that are relative and create real lasting change.
I married into a third-generation dairy farm and have spent over 20 years juggling business, family, and rural life. That mix of pressures shaped the way I understand people, responsibility, and the personal patterns that impact drive, purpose and growth.
In 2016, a serious farm accident became a turning point. It wasn’t the break I wanted, but it forced me to re-evaluate everything. I don’t believe you need to wait for rock bottom to make change and that moment became the catalyst for helping others redefine themselves and their version of success before they reach that point.
Now, I work with women who are entering a more meaning driven stage of their lives and careers, and are ready to find a new way forward that doesn’t cost them their energy, wellbeing, or sense of self.
“This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about coming back to yourself. To see yourself clearly, reflect honestly, and move forward differently. This is professional development through a self-leadership lens.”
What Are Others Saying About The Workshops?
“I would strongly recommend this unique experience to all, from individuals, teams and to business leaders. It’s an opportunity to invest in yourself and others, to take time out and build confidence, resilience and leadership skills, all while shedding hang-ups and having fun.”
EMMA People, Operations & Business Partner
“This was the first leadership space that felt less about adding more hard skills and more about coming back to myself. I felt supported, and left with practical strategies I’m now using with my team. A powerful reminder that leading well starts with backing yourself first.”
Tracey CEO BPsych, BSc (Hons), RPT-S, MAPS
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE DAY..
This one-day workshop is a chance to step out of the daily doing and take a deeper look at what’s driving how you lead, communicate, and respond, both personally and professionally.

- A full day of immersive, hands-on learning at the Milabena Equestrian Centre (15 minutes south-west of Wynyard)
- Topics around performance sustainability and personal alignment
- Activities and conversations designed to help you understand how you operate in your natural flow, when you’re adapting and when pressure, or uncertainty comes into play
- Experiential learning alongside horses (ground-based, no riding and no prior experience required) revealing new parts and aspects you don’t always notice in the busyness of everyday life
- Observation time, giving you space to reflect, recognise patterns, and build deeper awareness (of you and of others)
- A relaxed dinner and networking opportunity to build genuine connections across different roles and industries.
- Take-home reflection tools and follow-up resources to support continued growth
