Women in Leadership
It’s not about empowerment. It’s about achieving gender parity and the positive impacts it has on business
The lack of female representation at senior levels has been rightly raised as an issue for many years, with high-profile campaigns such as #EqualPay #TimesUp, #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter bringing the issue into sharper focus and deeper workplace consciousness.
To start a different conversation, dial up the development dialogue
Lightbulb Leadership Solutions has completed a decade of research into the area of gender-biased workplace feedback and has found that there is distinctly different feedback given to women compared to men which is having a huge negative impact on female career progression, equal pay and equal access to leadership positions.
Organisations which participate in our FeedbackFirst™ programme can carry our official FeedbackFirst™ certification and logo. This unique certification enhances your employer brand and signals to prospective talent that they are joining an organisation which is fully committed to open and inclusive feedback based on workplace performance, not gender.
Through insight, research and data diagnostics we help organisations to better understand ‘Why Feedback Holds Women Back’ and why we are committed to eradicating gender specific feedback from the workplace.
We work with leadership teams to bring about changes to their culture and work with aspiring and transitioning female talent to help them achieve equal access to leadership opportunities through our ‘Winning Women’ development programme.
Approach to Women in Leadership
More and more organisations are rightly committed to creating equal access opportunities to raise women into leadership positions and working hard to address one of the key issues of our times, the gender pay gap. Lightbulb Leadership Solutions has pioneered innovative approaches to support female leaders, developing key organisational impact measures & success metrics, business readiness and reward structures, personal advancement strategies and women only leadership development programmes for ambitious and aspiring female talent at all levels in business.
As a female-founded business with an inspirational leader and a number of female consultants, we have also established a Lightbulb Leadership Solutions internal taskforce, whose function is to pioneer game-changing solutions and provide unique insights, data and expertise that continue to challenge and inspire women in the workplace.
It’s time to own your career
Our proven pathway ‘Winning Women™’ leadership programme is designed to help current and aspiring female leaders improve business performance, own their individual career advancement and capitalise on every opportunity that comes their way. It consists of individual and group coaching, a business leadership project, keynote speaker sessions and a series of immersive and challenging internationally certified masterclasses.
“Lightbulb’s engaging style and expertise as industry thought leading speakers on gender has helped us to not only position ourselves with authority with our clients but also to source additional business opportunities. Not to mention that working with them is always fun and educational!”
