It can be difficult for women to speak confidently about their successes without fear of being seen as boastful. But you need to share your wins and your #impact. Be #strategic—highlight how your work has contributed to the team's overall #success, which often comes across more naturally. As a successful example and #strategy, my client took the step of documenting her #achievements and sending them in advance to #leadership to stay ahead of the narrative. Check out my newest article where I further emphasize the importance of confidence for women leaders. #WomanLeadership #BeStrategic #achievements

Findings reveal that despite women leaders fostering more inclusive company cultures and boosting financial performance, they're still falling behind in receiving essential career development opportunities. With fewer women having access to formal mentorship, leadership training, and key executive roles, it's no surprise they're 1.5 times more likely than men to leave their companies in pursuit of advancement.   Organizations with a higher proportion of women in leadership shine in inclusivity and boast stronger financial outcomes.

Why Skills Aren't Enough - Cultivating Strong Leadership Identities for Women: While there is a lot of work that is happening in the leadership development space for women, it may focus solely on skill development and competency development, leaving a crucial gap; building a strong leadership identity. Traditionally, women haven't been encouraged to assert authority, and this can lead us to hesitate in leadership roles, which is why incorporating leadership into one's basic identity is especially difficult for us as we have to build reliability in a work environment that is severely divided over if, when, and in what manner women should exert authority. The article "Women Rising: The Unseen Barriers" by Ibarra, Ely, and Kolb (HBR, 2013) emphasizes this point. Skills are important, but they're not everything.  Companies need to invest in "safe spaces for leadership identity development". These supportive environments allow women to explore and develop their unique leadership styles. We don't need endless advice on how to look the part. What we need instead is the space and support to find our authenticity and leadership identity. This article explores the concept of "second-generation gender bias" and its effects on how women are perceived and how certain leadership behaviors are "unfeminine." Companies often focus on a "competence-likability trade-off," pressuring women to soften their approach or sacrifice likability to be respected. It's time to shift the focus on cultivating a strong leadership identity built on purpose that allows women to transcend stereotypes and navigate challenges in the workplace with conviction.  It's about embracing who we are as leaders, not conforming to a predefined mold. P.S: Do you agree that fostering a strong leadership identity is crucial for women leaders? #womeninleadership #leadershipdevelopment #cultivateyourleadership #purpose #leadershipidentity

📊 Research from The Academy of Women’s Leadership reveals that while women make up 41.9% of the workforce, only 32.2% hold senior leadership positions. I’m sharing this not to complain, but to INSPIRE change. Both women and men bring valuable skills to #leadership roles, yet the imbalance in representation means we're missing out on diverse qualities that can drive #BusinessSuccess and enrich company culture. Understanding this gap is the first step toward actionable change. Let’s uplift the women around us, encourage them to pursue leadership roles, and champion efforts to close this gap in our organizations. #WomenInLeadership #GenderGap
