Everyone woman has the ability to lead, but few see themselves as leaders or know they can develop this skill with women’s leadership coaching. If someone asked you, “..are you a leader?”, how would you answer? Well, hold on a minute, what makes a leader? Are you visualizing an emperor of land cloaked in robes or a successful CEO running a large company? Those are just positions being held by people, but they may or may not be leaders. A leader is someone who is blazing a new trail; someone who is actively planning and participating in moving their team, vision, business, career, family, and goals forward.

You are leading every time you don’t accept the status quo and decide for yourself on your own terms the direction you will take to improve the current circumstances. You lead every time you do not accept, drift, or comply to what is and rather challenge yourself to grow, improve, develop, contribute, and prosper at a higher level.

What is Women’s Leadership Coaching

Women’s leadership coaching empowers women to become strong leaders in growing their company, advancing their careers, building their business, developing communities, and living their life. With the many challenges women face in the work world and juggling family and career demands, leadership skills enable women with confidence to manage time, resources, energy, and people. The GAIA Women’s Leadership Coaching model created by Elizabeth Cronise Mclaughlin has developed an incredible framework to support women leaders at many stages of their personal and professional growth.

Leadership coaching for women is a transformative process of change and development that gives women strong communication skills, confidence, choice, direction, and freedom to own their power. It is personal and professional development that can increase a women’s income, advance her career, and create fulfillment. It will also place her back in charge of her health, lifestyle, and future.

Women Leaders in Need

With women only holding 4.4 % of CEO’s positions in Fortune 500 companies that’s only 22 out of the 500 available, there is definitely room for growth. Especially since studies have proven women leaders increase profit:

A 2015 report by McKinsey & Co. found that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15% more likely to have greater financial returns than their national industry medians.
The Peterson Institute for International Economics 2016 report found that companies with at least 30% female leaders had net profit margins up to 6 percentage points higher than companies with no women in the top ranks.
Another popular piece of research, conducted in 2007 by diversity consultancy firm Catalyst, found that Fortune 500 companies with at least three female directors have 42% higher return on sales and 53% higher return on equity
