Organisations are missing out on some of their best leaders…

Organisations are missing out on some of the best leaders because they fail to notice who they already have, or key players don’t showcase their talents. This is especially the case with female workers who often demonstrate great potential as workplace leaders but are simply not seen. Research suggests that visibility plays a huge part in career progression and we know women don’t promote themselves as often as men; this poses a huge problem.

Self Promotion and Female Leadership

Through a powerful and bespoke blend of consulting, training and leadership coaching, Gemma helps your organisation to recognise the talent you already have; to inspire, develop and empower female employees with the potential to be great leaders within your workplace.

With this support, female employees strive for next level promotions and showcase themselves and your company. This is achieved through purposeful networking and building solid connections. Ultimately, your organisation benefits from increased performance/confident female talent within senior leadership roles within your workplace.

To attract, identify, develop and retain women leaders is essential to achieve a thriving culture, performance and productivity… to be a major organisation in your industry. By creating a workplace where self promotion is encouraged, many potential female leaders step forward for recognition and development. They understand the importance of visibility and promotion for career progression and their organisation’s role in gender parity.

Female Leadership in Your Workplace

Does your company have:

• low female representation at senior level?

• a gender pay gap?

• a poor female talent pipeline?

• disengaged female employees looking elsewhere?

• women underselling themselves at internal interviews and not securing promotions?

• women not contributing in meetings?

• a high turnover of female staff?

If so, you are potentially losing your best talent

Now is the time to get a plan in place to support your female colleagues with self-promotion/self-advocacy. 
Now is the time to increase gender parity in your workplace, by reducing the gender pay gap and motivating female leaders in your workplace.

By investing and developing female leadership talent, companies have benefited in many ways:

• Identifying key talent that are ambitious and keen to make it to senior levels

• Creating open conversation about how the company and individual employees can work together to create a culture supporting career development

• Thinking differently when it comes to visibility and what it can do for their reputation and being an inclusive employer

• Advertising they are a credible employer who has top talent working for them

• Listening to female employees feedback about the support provided by the company

• Retaining their best employees and encouraging them to share career development goals

• Restructuring parts of the company and creating new opportunities for their key leaders
