Gender bias…
Women struggle to get their voices heard
and to influence upwards:
- 50% of women get interrupted 50% of the time in meetings
- 70% of men rate men more highly than women for achieving the same goals
- 38% of women have experienced others taking credit for their ideas
- 40% less airtime is given to women in meetings unless they significantly outnumber men
This gender bias has a significant impact on women’s confidence, career prospects and advancement, making it harder for companies to retain women and consequently reach their gender equity goals.
Our work is not just about supporting women to get a seat at the table and secure senior roles.
We also have to make sure they are heard when they get there and that their leadership skills are recognised. Women experience a very real influence and authority gap due to both gender bias and gender barriers particularly in male dominated industries.
We can work with you to design and deliver a bespoke
women’s leadership development programme
How we help you & the women leaders in your team
We have created our proven Influence & Impact ® Framework which hundreds of women have used to:
- See themselves as a leader, tackling self-doubt and imposter feelings
- Be seen as a good leader by others, developing a personal leadership brand and stepping into the authority that comes with their role as a female leader
- Increase their influence and impact, speaking the language of senior stakeholders and developing advanced influencing skills and personal impact
This is not about fixing women. It is about undoing the damage that gender bias has done to their confidence and equipping them with the knowledge of how to be more confident and assertive and increase their visibility at work so they can overcome that bias on a daily basis.
