Leadership Coaching for Women
Specific to the needs of female executives, Fran Simons has identified some very particular issues "borne of culture or gender factors that shouldn't come to account but still do in some places."
Issues for which women often benefit from advice and coaching more than men include:
- how to deal with a predominantly male
work and communications culture;
- how to deal with work/family balance;
- how to
deal with overt harassment or discrimination problems;
- how to deal with a boss,
colleague, or staff member who is clearly uncomfortable with women at work; and
- how to recognise and avoid the ‘glass ceiling’ career plateau.
Bringing a wealth of experience to helping both men and women develop their executive leadership capabilities, Fran affords particular insights into gender issues and problems for executives that will assist men as well as women to better prevent them.
