2 executive coaches share how promotions really happen

Executive coaches Mitzi Short and Lori Marcus share a tactical approach to careers and promotions to help women get their work noticed while eliminating gender bias in the workplace. These coaches, two of the 6 members of Band of Sisters (a group of former executives turned authors and speakers), discuss the the block and tackle of promotions: what experiences you must have on your CV for C-Suite roles; what development  conversations you should be having with your boss (or your direct reports); and if you’re a male leader, how you can be a better sponsor across your organization to help position women and people of color for leadership positions and opportunity.   Band of Sisters: https://thebandofsisters.com/ Excerpts from Band of Sisters' recent book “You Should Smile More” This stubborn barrier is widening the gap for women in leadership: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/11/stubborn-barrier-widening-gender-gap-women-leadership/ How 'sponsors' can achieve gender parity in leadership: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/11/sponsors-can-achieve-gender-parity-leadership The 4 insidious phrases prevent the gender gap in leadership from closing: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/11/4-phrases-gender-gap-leadership
