Curiosity can turn even the mundane into a chance to grow. 🔥 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝘃𝘀. 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Not all challenges are threats. What if they’re raw materials for transformation? 💡 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘀.

🎉 I'm thrilled to share my latest article in Fast Company on fixing the "broken rung" for women leaders! As someone who's dedicated my career to developing women leaders, this piece is especially close to my heart. While the latest Women in the Workplace report from McKinsey & LeanIn.org shows we're still facing significant challenges, I believe we can accelerate progress. The reality is stark: For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 81 women receive the same opportunity. This "broken rung" creates a ripple effect that impacts women's advancement at every level. But here's what gives me hope: Through my work with Fortune 500 companies, I've seen firsthand what makes a difference in advancing women leaders. In this article, I explore three key areas where organizations can take meaningful action: • Reimagining what leadership looks like • Making development accessible for busy schedules • Transforming how we deliver feedback The solutions are within reach - but they require intentional action and new approaches. As we look ahead to 2025, I'm eager to help more organizations this challenge and others. From my unique vantage point working with clients across industries, I see both the evolving trends and the proven strategies that drive real change. Whether you're planning your leadership development strategy or looking to accelerate women's advancement, let's connect about how we can help you achieve your goals. What steps is your organization taking to fix the "broken rung"? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments, where you can also find a link to the full article.
