How can organizations attract and retain women leaders?

EDGE group coaching experiences are designed to support women as they navigate the labyrinths they will undoubtedly face on their career growth journeys. We do this by: 🌱 Providing spaces for productive personal and professional growth (growing the person to grow the leader)! 🧠 Building a strategic network where horizontal and vertical knowledge transfer can happen seamlessly as women from across the organization learn and grow together. 🎉 Bringing men into the conversation (in a non-shaming way) and giving them the resources and development they are asking for to actively be part of the solution, aka true allyship! Interested to learn how EDGE can help you attract and retain the brilliant women leaders your organization craves?

CEO, Leading Consultancy for Local Governments—Specializing in Strategic Planning, Leadership & Culture Development Enhancing Trust, and Communication | Professional Speaker | Bestselling Author of Love-Based Leadership
Did you know that only 29% of respondents from our 2023 State of Local Government study reported having a defined budget for leadership development? As a CEO committed to providing government leadership solutions, I find this statistic concerning. Leadership development isn't just an investment; it's part of executing retention efforts. According to McKinsey, 41% of people have quit jobs because of a lack of career development and advancement. Defined budgets for leadership development offer numerous benefits listed in the image below. Stay informed ➡ Follow our Government Leadership Solutions page for more updates on leadership development in local government. #LeadershipDevelopment #LocalGovernmentLeaders #LocalGov #DrMariaChurch #LeadershipTraining #OrganizationalCulture

Now more than ever, the private equity industry is recognizing the importance of talent in creating differentiated alpha. It's not just about selecting the right individuals, but also about generating ROI from leadership, engagement, and retention. PE firms know about the fuzzy math of talent value creation. Even when firms spend six figures on identifying the right leaders, it only works out about 30% of the time. As a $60B industry, leadership development's ROI has been a bit fuzzy. The lesson: traditional approaches to leadership development have not cracked the code. PE firms can learn from public companies' leadership and engagement interventions and leapfrog traditional approaches to get it right out of the gate. Are you ready to create differentiated alpha through talent value creation? #PrivateEquity #TalentValueCreation #LeadershipDevelopment

Ever wondered about leader assistance programs? Well I did, and they're a thing! While both EAPs and LAPs aim to support employee well-being, they do so in subtly different ways. EAPs focus on personal support for all employees, while LAPs support specialized professional assistance for executives and team leads. Is an LAP different than leadership development? Yes, again, in subtly distinct ways. Leadership assistance offers immediate, targeted support, empowering leaders to rise and shine in their current roles. Conversely, leadership development focuses more on long-term growth and skill-building, shaping leaders of tomorrow. All needed. All important. All serving distinct needs. #Leadership #EmployeeWellBeing #ProfessionalDevelopment #LeadershipAssistance #EAPs #LAPs

CEO - La Crosse Area Chamber of Commerce | Culture Consultant, Keynote Speaker, Enterprise Strategic Planning Consultant, Servant Leader, Business Advocate
Tonight is the Young Professionals Awards Night! I personally enjoy this particular evening because it honors and celebrates young professionals - and I truly don’t think they receive enough credit for their contributions and the impact they have on businesses and in their communities. The younger generation in the workplace are leaders, and many are already business owners, supervisors, managers, and can even be found in the c-suite. If some businesses haven’t embraced this fact, I think it’s time.. With technology has come easily accessible and advanced training and development tools. Meaning it no longer takes 30 years for someone to “become a leader” in business. Cheers to all those young professional leaders out there who work their butts off, are good humans, and are making a positive impact! #positiveimpact #positiveinfluence #leadership #youngprofessionals
