Is This Your Story?

Time after time in meetings my voice is not heard.  Job promotions slip by me. I I have a lot to give to the world, but I am stagnating.  I have a sense of destiny and want to lead, but my vision is muddled.   I can’t break the barriers holding me back.  

I need a safe space to focus, raise my self-awareness and confidence, and take ownership of my future.  I want a rewarding and balanced life so I can rejoice in having fulfilled my leadership potential in creating a sounder and safer workplace and world.

A seminal event in 2009 was the tipping point when I said “Enough!” and founded The Monarch Center (TMC).  Over the course of four decades working in academia and executive positions, I observed competent women overlooked for executive promotion and their voices ignored in meetings, their ideas hijacked or disregarded and outmoded stereotypes applied to their leadership capabilities. I saw women putting in long work hours, yet not getting credit or receiving equal pay for their substantial contributions. 

I know that smart companies having the best records for promoting women outstrip their competition on on every measure of profitability.   So why are women held back?  A cluster of barriers stop women in their tracks.   Many of these are within their power to reverse and I was determined to help women with these:  raising their confidence, leveraging their personal strengths, focusing their vision and taking ownership of their future for a full, but balanced life. 

I believe that by helping women help themselves, women can fulfill their life, leadership and economic potential.  If you want me to help you in your quest I'm just an email or phone call away. Let’s explore leadership and wellbeing coaching and telecourse options that may work for you.  I look forward to hearing from you.
