How does the program work?

Our inclusive and results-focused Advancing Women programs are for organisations that are serious about implementing initiatives to achieve gender parity.

We work with senior leaders in an organisation – both men and women – to develop programs that promote diversity and equality in the workplace. By engaging stakeholders from across the organisation, including those at the very top, we help you create an inclusive and respectful culture.

Our programs provide the skills and confidence women need to step up or advance their careers. 90% of participants claim they are more confident after completing the program. Female participants work closely with our coaches and their senior leaders in a combination of workshops, coaching sessions, and targeted assignments.

Who is it for?

These intensive, career coaching programs help organisations create a culture that champions, supports and sponsors talented women. They help you identify and address the factors that may be preventing the rise of women in your organisation.

The ideal participant is an emerging female leader who lacks visibility in your organisation. They may need to gain more confidence and learn the tools and practical steps that will allow them to seize opportunities and get better results.
