HR WEBINAR: Five Things Stopping Talented Women from Stepping Up (That HR Probably Doesn’t Know About)

Your succession plans are full of talented women with children who could and should be your future leaders (Directors, MDs and Partners).

But too often, when the moment to step up arrives, hesitation creeps in. Women who have the ability and ambition to lead start questioning: Do I want this role? Can I make it work? Is it worth the cost to my family life?

From the outside, this hesitation can look like a lack of confidence or drive. But the real reasons go much deeper. And most HR and Talent Leaders don’t get to hear them.

Through 20 years’ work with high-achieving, driven, professional women with children, chartered coaching psychologist Jessica Chivers and parenting expert Anita Cleare have been privy to the many thoughts and feelings that can get in the way of working mothers taking up the most senior roles in their businesses.

These are the factors that remain mostly unknown to their employer and which - alongside structural and cultural organisational issues - prevent them from taking the next step.

In this value-packed 40-minute webinar, coaching psychologist Jessica Chivers and parenting expert Anita Cleare will lift the lid on what ambitious professional women with children tell them in confidential coaching conversations.
