The evidence is clear: Equity-focused leaders and inclusive organizations outperform those that are not. Yet women remain underrepresented in all levels of leadership. Despite the compelling case for equality of gender representation at all levels of an organization, even with the best of intentions, unconscious bias can influence who advances at work.
Participants in the Women in Leadership: Next Level Success program learn time-tested techniques and practical ideas they can apply immediately to their careers to combat performance-limiting biases and better capitalize on their strengths.
