Through the Ceiling
What does it take for under-represented communities, including women, to access senior executive levels?
Neurodivergent people, women, and people of colour, among others, are under represented in leadership and senior management even though representation is better at more junior levels.
We want to see this change and believe that this is not only about the individual, and their strengths, but also about working together to change the environment and finding the right path for each individual to reach their goals.
Our coaching programmes support clients to target the changes they need to see in their environment as well as the steps they can take to enhance their own development.
Our coaches and mentors work with individuals and groups to provide affirming, targeted, coaching to address barriers so that senior leadership teams better reflect the diversity of brains, thinking and identities that we see in the world around us.
Why is diversity lower in senior management and leadership positions than at junior levels? Are there challenges in the workplace for individuals from under-represented groups and what would help?
Please complete our (short) anonymous survey as we would like to find out more so that we can make a bigger difference as we work towards greater diversity in leadership too
How it works
-
Plan it
We start with a deep dive into the individual’s strengths, hopes and dreams, what they want their work life to look and feel like and what they want to achieve. We create a plan for the role or next step that fits the individual based upon who they are, how they like to work and the kind of professional they want to be.
-
Make it happen
Having planned out what that next step and role looks like, we work out what is needed to get there and work on it together with monthly coaching, and if desired, mentoring so that by breaking it all down into manageable action steps we can make a real difference and make a real difference to progress in 12 months.
