Why executive coaching for women?

Good news: Over the last five years, women’s representation in leadership positions in corporate America improved across all levels. BUT: Promotions at the first step up to manager are not equitable, women of color lose ground in representation at every level, women are even more burned out now than they were a year ago, and burnout is escalating much faster among women than among men. (Women in the Workplace Report, McKinsey, 2021). Leading organizations worldwide have an honest interest in closing those gap. It is in their best interest to have top-performing leaders of all genders and gender identities in their most influential positions. 

​

What we create together?

While women are thought to be more effective in 84% of the leadership competencies that are most frequently measured (HBR 2019) they need special attention and support. Being perceived as competent is obviously not enough for women. That is why the coaching focus lies on building their strong and persistent personal brand, navigating the organization and empowering them to excel.

​
