Hear stories from participants who've completed the Empowered to Lead program on fully funded scholarships thanks to the generosity of Highview Financial and Accounting:
Harriet Elleman, Brumbies Super W Player:
Harriet has been playing rugby union since 2012 and has represented both locally and for the Brumbies women's teams. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Secondary Teaching (Science) and continues to inspire the next generation through her involvement in sports.
"This is a brilliant program that enables you to look at your qualities and learn that you have so many strengths. Even the qualities you think might be a weakness can turn into a strength and make you the best leader, athlete, coach, teacher, or human possible." - Harriet Elleman
Jessica Harvey, Aussie Rules Player:
Jessica has found immense value in the program, gaining insights not only about herself but also about women in sport as a whole. She cherishes the connections made, the inspiring guest speakers, and the supportive community.
"This program was amazing. I learned so much, not only about myself but also about women in sport as a whole. The endless connections, the tears of joy for others' achievements, and the laughs were incredible. Holly is so passionate about this program, and it is such a safe space where strangers become friends!" - Jessica Harvey
Jessica Squires, Softball Player, Coach, and Official:
Jessica's five weeks with Play Like a Girl were transformative. The community and the valuable topics covered have had a lasting impact on her personal and professional life.
"My five weeks with Holly and the Play Like a Girl community have been such an amazing experience. The topics are valuable - every athlete should have access to this stuff! The community has been amazing, and these are people I'll stay in touch with. Thanks, Holly, for all your hard work and commitment - you're making a huge difference in empowering and developing females (and everyone else) in life, not just sport." - Jessica Squires
Laura Reeks, Professional Volleyball Player and Current Member of the Women's Volleyroos:
Laura is taking a year off from international playing contracts to develop her professional skills. She is passionate about contributing to the development of a professional volleyball league in Australia.
"This course has transformed me over the past five weeks—from feeling like a lost little puppy to now exploring big ideas for impact in my sport, surrounded by incredibly inspiring women. I am immensely grateful to be a part of this community. Thank you." - Laura Reeks
Louise Wilson, Rugby Union Enthusiast and Referee:
Louise's participation in the program has been a life-changing experience. She has gained confidence and a new perspective on her abilities.
"Having just completed the most amazing program I will ever do in my life, I am super grateful to Holly and all of my team and the most amazing guest speakers for sharing and giving their all. I could never have believed in myself to even apply for this program, let alone be accepted, without the amazing inspirational Holly, the PLAG program, and the amazing women that are a part of this incredible community. Thank you so much!" - Louise Wilson
Leesa Riley, Soccer Player and Volunteer:
Leesa's journey through the program has been transformative, leading to new career opportunities and a clear vision for her future.
"When I considered applying for Play Like a Girl, it was because I wanted to inspire more female players to take part in sport. I didn’t consider that it would be the game-changer for me in my own life journey. It gave me the opportunity to self-reflect and rebuild the leadership skills and confidence I needed to empower myself to make a positive change. I walked out of the experience with a new job and a clear vision for my future. Going through the five weeks with an amazing bunch of women around me gives me great hope for the future of women's sport, and I am confident through this experience we will see women in sport soar." - Leesa Riley
