What is it about?
There are far fewer women in senior leadership roles than men. This case study examines the decision-making process that I undertook to design and conduct the coaching elements of a coaching career advancement program for women in an organization.

Why is it important?
The program's goal was to provide coaching, training, and experiences that would enhance the ability of participants to compete successfully for promotion opportunities. Over the course of the program or soon after the program ended, almost 40% of the participants were promoted (6 of 16 participants) to the executive rank.
Perspectives
I felt it important to write about my decision-making process and to share my learning with other coaches and consultants as well as talent managers in organizations. Sharing my suggestions for consultants conducting and coaching a successful career-advancement and leadership-development program for women and possibly other diversities could help accelerate the growth of women leaders and other diversities if applicable in more organizations.
