Making sure women have an equal opportunity to get their foot in the door at your company is an important part of creating a diverse workplace. So it really, really sucks when you put out an amazing job posting and then.....no women apply. Darn!

I can help you develop and roll out strategies to recruit more women. My work in this area includes:

• Modifying job post language & presentation to attract diverse candidates
• Ensuring new hire selection criteria are fair and gender-neutral
• Developing diverse hiring policy and practice with hiring managers and HR teams

From programs to policy (both formal and informal), and on to the complex beast that is workplace culture, there are a lot of moving pieces that go into creating a workplace where women can truly thrive.

I can help you evaluate, design, and implement policies, procedures, and strategies that will actually help you retain diverse talent. Programs include:

• Developing workplace procedure and practice to ensure gender-equitable promotions
• Creating development plans for female staff that go beyond the basic mentoring programs
• Auditing & analyzing company data for bias -- such as salary, performance feedback, and promotional decisions -- so you're measuring the right metrics and getting results.

Even if your company is working hard to make diversity and inclusion a priority, there are plenty of ways women end up feeling cut off from opportunity. Culture doesn't change overnight after all, even with the best intentions.

Coaching is the missing link that helps women face opportunities head on, even in the face of the complex system of inequalities they've been dealing with their whole lives. Coaching topics include:

• Taking consistent, confident action to forward your career, even when the odds feel shaky
• Authentic ways to lead while navigating tricky gender dynamics in the workplace
• Influencing and shifting your focus while moving into increasingly strategic roles
