Fewer than 20% of top leaders across all sectors are women.

Little has changed about this for 20 years.
It's time to Take The Lead.
Why Leadership Parity Makes Sense
Gender parity in leadership is fair, wise, and ultimately, most profitable. Women raise group collective intelligence. Having more women in leadership has real economic payoffs—up to a 15% increase in profitability for a typical firm. Greater skill diversity within top management increases effectiveness, reduces gender discrimination, and ultimately helps recruit, promote and retain top talent.
We prepare, develop, inspire, and propel women to take their fair and equal share of leadership positions across all sectors by 2025.
Our ready-to-use leadership programs are loved by corporations, government organizations, nonprofits, and individuals.
