Unlock Your Career Potential with The Woman Behind the Women
Women face hidden barriers, societal and systemic barriers to promotion, to finding new roles.
Please know you are not alone, and this is not you, so many of my clients internalise their challenges, and second guess themselves.
Question their worth, question their ability and start to believe that they are not good enough, start to think they are not technically competent enough for a promotion, not strategic enough. Which leads them to believe that they should stay safe, not look to progress and just be grateful for salary the flexibility and people that surround them.
Yet you know, and I know you are worth so much more, this is not you, this is societal The gender pay gap closed by 0.2% last year and you are still more likely to be called Steve or Dave than be a Female CEO in the FTSE 100, representation is still drastically lacking, and women need support and guidance to move into senior roles.
This is systemic, organisations are slow to progress women, due to a lack of education as to the barriers women face, such as micro aggressions, expectations to advocate for others rather than for self, and the amount of unpaid domestic care work that disproportionately affects women at every level
Having been there myself, I won't leave any female feeling lost, lacking in confidence and questioning her worth

Career Transformation with The Woman Behind the Women
Why Choose this & why now?
Without support and guidance, you will still be stuck in the same role, the same salary bracket and the same less confident, scared mindset.
When you look at open market roles they just don't pay the salary you know you deserve, or they don't offer the same level of flexibility as you have with your current employer, so you apply anyway, thinking it's worth a go, but you hear nothing, or you attend interview, leaving you not being offered the role, so that compounds your belief that you aren't good enough, so you shouldn't look elsewhere and should stay where you are.
This leads to another year of your confidence being slowing eroded, you start to believe that the market isn't 'good' at the moment, so you accept whatever you are given salary wise, but the work keeps piling on and you do more and more without being recognised for your achievements, and the cycle continues.
Now you start to doubt your own worth, you start to believe it's ok to be spoken to as you are by your leadership, and you stay small to make other people feel tall.
That's leading you to feel burnt out, it's leaking into other areas of your life, and you feel totally flat.
So why now? Well, how much longer can you let other people have control of your career? It's not just your career, its affecting everything, your personal life, your confidence even your personal decision making, you are procrastinating over things that you never used to, and why? confidence is rock bottom, corporate life has beaten you with a stick and you just feel lost.
Jump in.
In just 12 sessions time, you could be in your new role, or newly promoted, earning what you should be earning, feeling more confident, holding your boundaries and thriving again

1-2-1 time with a womens' career and confidence specialist
We don't fix you, We support you
Limiting beliefs
Born from societal expectations, lived experiences and assumptions, we smash through those negative thoughts and unfounded belief systems, creating a robust and more confident version of you, we won't be fixing you, you don't need fixing, you need reminding of the value you hold, your amazing ability and the contribution you make, that's what you need.
The hidden market
Applying for open market roles, is time consuming, competitive, and soul destroying because by this point in your career, you have a whole suite of skills, a breadth of experience and a vast amount of knowledge, so the open roles don't actually fit the shape and size of the skills you bring, we show you how to get into the hidden market world of roles, how to approach it, how to reach out and how to cultivate career conversations in your network
Advocating for yourself
An alien practise that has probably made you shudder as you read the headline, however we need to understand how to self-promote in order to ensure that our skills, and values aren't overlooked. If you've seen your more self-promoting peers promoted above you, there's a chance you aren’t comfortable with self-promoting and that in itself will be holding you back, compound that with the need to be able to talk about yourself and your value at interview, and if you don't feel comfortable you will be literally talking yourself out of opportunities, we make sure you can identify your accomplishments and achievements and you know how to talk about them with ease
Networking Mastery
Women spend their working days performing, getting tasks accomplished, that to do list, the tactical work that has to be done, rarely leaving time or energy for your network will be leaving you behind those peers who create space in their diary to do so, we show you how to use your network, how to expand, how to develop meaningful connections to create hidden opportunities.
Career Planning
If you are leaving career planning to chance, and not cultivating a road map for the next 18 months, you are risking being left behind, future focussing, gaining clarity on where you want to be the role, the salary, the type of organisation, the culture and the skills build out that is critical to ensure that you keep ahead with your salary and your trajectory
Our private client sessions are a safe space to unpack the internal and external challenges, with a qualified experienced coach, each session is tailored to your requirements, and we use the time to address your short, medium and longer term objectives, ultimately this is your time to focus on you.
Jo, I can't thank you enough, I'm now the highest paid in the company, and you were a huge part of this journey
