If you’re a manager or an HR/L&D professional you know the compelling business case for moving more women into senior roles:
​
-
Boards with at least three women directors are almost 50% more profitable than those without.
-
Fortune 500 companies with more female executives have 35% higher return on equity and deliver 34% higher returns to shareholders.
-
Gender diversity has a positive impact on staff morale, talent recruitment and company image.
Yet when you look up at the top tiers of your organisation, women aren’t featuring in significant enough numbers - and it’s not for lack of talent. While you can turn to lateral hiring to fill those senior roles, you know that change happens at the heart of a company and that nurturing your best people leads to higher retention. Despite your dedicated efforts to support women up the ladder though, the situation isn’t improving fast enough.
So what’s happening?
Through her extensive work in the corporate world, Stephanie has discovered that a woman on the cusp of stepping up is usually held back by the three “C barriers”:
-
Capability: She doubts her ability to take on more senior responsibilities so avoids going for the promotion or feels shaky when she does.
-
Congruence: She fears advancing will lead to burnout, less time with family and poor work-life balance.
-
Confidence: She struggles to showcase her big ideas during decisive meetings and command her place at the table, particularly in male-dominated settings.
Some women are at a crucial tipping point, ready to overcome these barriers through tailored one-to-one coaching (visit Stephanie’s coaching page to see how she can support them). For others, group training programmes are an impactful and sustainable way to propel them forward.
Stephanie’s transformational training addresses the three “C barriers” using dynamic tools designed with deep consideration for how women instinctively function and thrive
Key components include:
-

-
A model for female leadership that draws on collaboration, caring, compassion, connection and courage.
-
Developing the features of an unmistakable leader: confidence, communication and stronger relationships.
