Most corporate women’s advancement programs center on teaching women a predefined slate of skills purported to give them more control over their careers. But by taking this approach, companies may be unintentionally communicating a culture of conformity by asking women to change who they are to succeed. This leaves many women, especially senior women, feeling stuck, because strong leaders need to have the ability to set expectations, not just fulfill them.

Leadership is a powerful tool that can either cultivate an inspired and energetic workplace or flatten an organization’s morale. As an executive leadership coach, I’ve seen how certain leadership behaviors can systematically undermine team motivation. A Harvard Business Review study reinforces this, revealing that 58% of employees would trust a stranger more than their own boss.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
