Women & Affinity Groups

Research by the Center for Talent Innovation suggests that women, and people in other affinity groups, are underrepresented at the highest levels of leadership because they are thought to “lack executive presence.” This translates into a disadvantage for these groups in the corporate world—instead of being embraced for the diversity they bring, members of these groups are often overlooked for recognition and promotion. We make sure they understand their strengths, develop a personal value proposition, project a leadership presence to others, and improve communication skills to ensure they’re heard and valued by their organization. We help them boost their presence and communication skills while remaining authentic to who they are.

Let’s Talk

How we work with women and affinity groups

The ability to project confidence, communicate value, and demonstrate leadership qualities to leaders and peers is key to helping women and affinity groups rise within their organization. We work with participants to help them understand barriers in the work environment and how they can take charge of their career path using learned skills and techniques in presence, relationship building, and communication.
