Introducing our Industry Buddies
Standout Career Project
We all want more women in middle- and senior-leadership positions. But in male-dominated industries, there simply aren't enough women to promote.
That's not because bright, talented women don't exist in those spaces. It's because more than half of them exit the pipeline within the first five years of their career.

Early Career Women are an overlooked piece of the gender equality puzzle.

We can do something about that.
We affirm –
Equitable hiring practices alone aren't enough to achieve gender equality.
If you lead an organisation or team, you know know this already. Your dry pipeline and revolving front door tell you so.
If you're a woman in the early years of your career in a male-dominated industry, you know this, too. You were so sure this is what you wanted to pursue, but now you may be wondering if you're actually cut out for it. You are.
We understand –
Early Career Women in male-dominated industries face a litany of obstacles.
Early Career Women in male-majority environments too often attribute their workplace challenges to a lack of confidence. They judge themselves harshly—and incorrectly.
The truth is, women in the first five years of their career are generally outnumbered by men, of a different generation than their managers, inexperienced in their role, new to the world of work, and navigating a post-COVID landscape. Their "lack of confidence" isn't a character flaw; it's a natural result of the environment they're navigating.
We have evidence —
With the right training and support, Early Career Women stay. And advance.
When Early Career Women understand the factors affecting their perception of their work and value—and when they're given the chance to develop skills to navigate communication, conflict, and connection—they own their role, seek opportunities for progression, and remain in the industry they’ve selected.
To address the gender equality imbalance at senior, C-suite, and Board levels, attention must be turned to one of the most vulnerable stages in women's careers: their first five years.
Here's how we help you do that.
