What Makes Diagnostic Accreditation So Transformative?
Let's dive into it.
Firstly, credibility is everything. Working with established and verified tools lends authority to your practice. It tells your clients, "I'm committed to using proven, high-quality resources in my work." Diagnostic accreditation with the Women's Leader Archetypes Assessment can offer you just that – an association with a recognised and trusted brand that elevates your professional credibility.
Secondly, it's a universal truth: clients love learning about themselves. There's a certain thrill in uncovering our traits, strengths, and potential growth areas. Our Archetypes Assessment acts as a mirror, helping your clients see themselves more clearly. It's engaging, insightful, and often leads to those wonderful 'a-ha!' moments that propel transformative personal growth.
Lastly, leaders are always looking to uplevel. They seek ways to amplify their strengths, identify areas for growth, and become more effective in their roles - whether at work, in the community, or in life. As a coach or facilitator, your role is to guide them on this journey. The Women's Leader Archetypes Assessment isn't just a tool - it's a comprehensive methodology that speeds up the process.
In essence, diagnostic accreditation allows you to offer your clients a fast-track to personal growth and professional development. It's like handing them a map to their potential and saying, "Here, let's explore this together."
Sounds compelling, doesn't it?

Jacqui Jones Coaching Collective
"I have recently become a Women’s Leader Archetypes accredited practitioner, This is hands down one of the best programs I have ever been involved in. With Ros as my mentor, I have learned so much about leadership, neuroscience, the archetypes, coaching, and how to pull it all together into a program in my own business to guide other women into realising their true potential. I would highly recommend this program to existing coaches, facilitators, or leaders. The support and guidance from Ros has been invaluable and I really can’t wait to share this diagnostic with my own clients."
Jennifer Wittwer
International Consultant, UN Women
"Ros' Women Leader's Archetypes are amazing. The intuitive assessment really helps to identify those attributes that enable us to succeed and be our best. I found the archetypes descriptions a creative and interesting approach to defining leadership types, especially for women looking to define themselves as unique. I am equal parts Sovereign and Warrior, and while there were some similarities, both types applied in equal measures to my personality, the way I approach my work, and how I define success. This process has caused me to think about how I promote myself, my talents and my unique offer"
Fiona Marshall
Carers Coach, Mentor & Peer Facilitator
"As soon as I read the information on the Women’s Leader Archetypes Pilot Accreditation program I knew I wanted to be involved. Especially when it honed in on the women’s salons – the idea of running retreats and workshops really sparked something in me as that’s something really meaningful and purposeful that I’ve wanted to do. The fact that it’s an accredited program that I could interconnect with the work I already do in life coaching made me jump in.
I now have the confidence to go into workshops and retreats and hold circles for women knowing that I’m using the skills I’ve learnt from a program that is accredited and has been tried and tested by many women. It’s helping me blend everything I do and using all of those modalities together.
I’ve really enjoyed learning about all of the archetypes and understanding the shadows – the space we go to when we aren’t feeling empowered. I enjoyed doing my own archetype assessment and understanding more about myself."

What Clients Say
Ros Cardinal’s Women’s Leadership Archetypes uncovers the secrets of what it takes to be a strong leader without losing your feminine authentic core. I see her work as the perfect tool for rebalancing current leadership issues, from ego-system male dominating practices towards more collaborative eco-system practices where everyone contributes in a powerful positive way, which benefits the collective. Ros is the embodiment of wisdom and fearless feminine leadership! In her quest for changing the current women leadership narrative, she goes deep into the heart of what it takes to be a powerful feminine leader. When women are strong they are often classified as bossy and come across as unpleasant. Ros has found a way to shift this perception, by showing women how to stand in their own authentic light, without having to be someone else. - Maria MarcÂ
The archetype model and assessment were very helpful in identifying my strengths. I like that it provides an explanation of each archetype's qualities and how those qualities present themselves. Overall, I found it to be an effective tool for gaining a better understanding of what qualities I want to develop so I can be a more effective leader and business owner.- Jess RosenÂ
I loved Rosalind's Women's Leadership Archetypes Quiz. I think the results were spot on! I also enjoyed the information on Shadow Archetypes, and could definitely identify some of my weaker moments in them! I'm looking forward to learning even more! - Sandra Corso

Hello. I'm Ros Cardinal
Nice to meet you
When I was growing up, I wanted to be a vet or a scientist, but my fascination with human behaviour and neuroscience led me to a career in organisational development.
After more than 20 years in corporate human resources and organisational development roles, a successful battle with cancer gave me the nudge to take my passion for transforming leaders and improving how individuals and organisations cope with change in a new direction.
Leaving my senior corporate role in 2012, I established my successful consulting business, Shaping Change.
My expertise spans strategic planning, leadership development, organisational culture, change management, emotional intelligence, and employee engagement. I am also an executive and leadership coach, with current coaching clients at executive and senior levels in Government agencies, private enterprise, and the community sector.
In 2016, I felt compelled to look deeply at the differences in the leadership styles of men and women. The result was the Women’s Leadership Archetypes model, now being used worldwide by women to discover how they can better leverage their natural strengths to lead with purpose, authenticity, and integrity. In 2022 I travelled to Washington DC to receive a World of Difference Award from The International Alliance for Women (TIAW) for this work.
I am a writer and the author of The Resilient Employee. In addition, I contribute regular articles to Leaders in Heels, The Huffington Post and People Development magazine.
I'm Australian, based in Tasmania (the little island state), where I live with my husband and an indian ringneck parrot called Merry. I am a proud grandma of twin boys.
