SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Featherstone Group has developed a unique approach to growing the number of female business leaders. They take a proactive and positive approach to the part of the equation – men – that is most often ignored and sometimes vilified in the conversation around women in corporate leadership.

Male executives often find themselves with the important responsibility of developing diverse talent and growing the number of female leaders within their organization.
There is no shortage of excellent articles, books, workshops, and development programs for women to help them advance their careers. There are also a multitude of solutions offered to corporations around policy and governance.
Unfortunately, there are very few resources available to men, who don't necessarily understand the unique challenges women face and are uncertain of how best to provide support and advocacy.
After identifying this need, Dr. Sarah Bodner created Developing the Lady Boss, a coaching & education program for male leaders that provides them with a practical guide and useful tools to support women's development and career advancement.
Topic areas include: |
|
- Power & Politics |
- Authenticity |
- Gender Challenges |
- Mentors & Champions |
- Professional Brand |
- Growth & Development Needs |
- Leadership Competencies |
- The Gap Between Intent & Impact |
Developing the Lady Boss is not diversity training, it is applied talent development viewed through the lens of gender. The result is skilled male leaders who can be strong partners in growing the number of female leaders within their organization.
Developing the Lady Boss is designed to support male leaders who...
- Understand the value that women bring to corporations and boards.
- Have responsibility for developing other leaders within the organization.
- Want to understand the unique challenges women face in order to better support and advocate.
- May be hesitant to discuss gender issues because they don't want to risk accidentally
offending.
- Are mentoring a woman who is currently in a leadership role or a high potential woman who will
soon be in a leadership role.
Developing the Lady Boss is offered as an open enrollment workshop a few times a year. It can also be customized for in-house use to support talent development efforts within a corporation.
