Helping Women Executives Break Barriers to Leadership
My client Jeanine, a talented executive with years of corporate experience, recently shared her frustration about the lack of women in similar roles at her company.
According to a 2023 McKinsey report, men still constitute 72% of top executive roles.
Jeanine's frustration is not unique. Despite the strides made in advancing women in leadership, the promotion gap persists, with only 87 women promoted for every 100 men moving from entry level to managerial roles.
I love being a confidential sounding board for mid-career women who are frustrated in their careers.
Unfortunately, I often hear about:
- Harassment
- Promotion goalpost-moving
- Rigid work arrangements
While we celebrate the progress made in advancing women in leadership, it's crucial to recognize and address the barriers that still hinder their full participation.
With a new executive résumé and optimized LinkedIn profile, Jeanine was able to find a new role where ~50% of the top leadership were women and where diversity and inclusion were supported by company policies including unconscious bias training, mentorship opportunities, and flexible work arrangements.
➡ I'm committed to helping women executives break through these barriers AND find organizations that routinely advance women into leadership and C-suite roles.
