✴ BE INTENTIONAL This was the key takeaway from the session I just wrapped on Influencing with Impact. Being intentional is NOT being inauthentic. It's recognising that, as Women, we often have to quickly build influence with senior stakeholders who are, still more often than not, men. Navigating over this extra degree of difference brings challenges our male colleagues don't experience. In the session, where over 80 women from across the globe attended, I shared models and practical tools women can use to authentically build more influential relationships in the place. This is module 2 of the 12-month programme we designed for Women's networks and resource groups. Thanks as always to the amazing women at Glanbia's NOW (Network of Women) and to Jo Lanigan, Naoise Coogan and Xiaoyu Hue for organising. Looking forward to the next model on building strategic networks! #womenERG #Womennetworks #womenleadership

🔕 Traditional leadership programs often focus on “fixing women.” But let’s be clear. Women don’t need fixing. Yes, we get spoken over.  Yes, our ideas are frequently stolen.  Yes, we have to achieve more to be perceived the same as our male colleagues.  Yes, we get mistaken for someone's secretary.  Yes, we struggle to get access to senior sponsors.  Yes, we receive less actionable feedback and disproportionately more comments about our ‘style’. But we still don't need fixing! Instead, we need the tools to navigate the unconscious gender biases we face in the workplace. Through our work with organisations such as JLL, Standard Chartered Bank and many more, we have implemented an evidence-based program that has increased gender representation at the leadership level. Not through fixing women. But instead, through enabling them to accelerate their careers by navigating the current system and being true to their authentic selves. 👉 Check out our 'Overcome Barriers to Secure Your Leadership Promotion' programme in the Link below. #careercoachingforwomen #careercoachingtips #careercounselling #careerguidance #careerhelp #careeracceleration

🎉 We just wrapped our 2nd Masterclass on Secure your Leadership Promotion. Thanks to the 200 women who signed up for the masterclasses and joined us to learn practical ways they can accelerate their careers. We'll be sharing a replay video shortly. 😶 We chickened it on Linkedin Live, as we couldn't get the tech to work simultaneously, but we will host a stand-alone LinkedIn event as we move towards our launch date. For now, here's a behind-the-scenes shot! Thanks to the amazing Angel Kilian for pulling this together and Rakesh Mariyappan for making sure the back end all worked! #womenleadership

😍 Today's the day!! Our FREE Masterclass goes live at 1 pm UK time (8 pm Singapore). 🚀 Last chance to sign up. ...although there is another one tomorrow if you miss it 🙂 We're also going to try streaming on Linkedin Live on Angel Kilian's Linkedin page. We've never done this before, so it could be an epic fail, but if you don't try, you don't learn. I'll pop a link here just before we kick off. I look forward to seeing you there - registration link is in the comments below (but DM me if you don't see it - for some reason, some folks can't find/see it!).

😶🌫️Myth: High performance will get you promoted 😡Reality: It'll get you a ‘well done’ but not a promotion As women, we often believe that if we keep our heads down and do great work, that will be enough to see us succeed and progress. Here’s the truth. Doing great work is key. However, learning to navigate the unique challenges women face in the workplace is equally important to gain that well-deserved promotion. This includes: ✅ Recognising and mitigating gender biases ✅ Advocating for yourself and your team ✅ Navigating power and politics in an authentic way ✅ Finding influential sponsors and supportive peer groups ✅ Storytelling for impact and influence 👉 Register for our FREE Masterclass "Overcoming Barriers to Secure Your Leadership Promotion", where we will share the 3 top things holding you back and practical tips to overcome them. 👇 👇 LInk is here: https://lnkd.in/grXzqv3F #womeninleadership #careerdevelopment

Is this you? 👎 “She just needs to be more confident.” 👎 “She just needs to speak up more but be less assertive.” 👎 “She just had a baby. She won’t be able to perform at the next level.” These are the kinds of comments we often hear from high-achieving women in some of the world’s largest Fortune 500 companies. Since running our Women in Leadership program for the past four years, we’ve seen the same patterns: high-potential women feeling stuck navigating these situations without damaging relationships or career opportunities. Add cultural nuances into the mix, and it becomes even trickier. But here's the good news. There is a way. Over the years, Helen and I have helped hundreds of women navigate these unique workplace challenges and confidently secure leadership promotions. They go from feeling burnt out and overwhelmed to feeling empowered and securing their leadership promotion.
