Are you ready for the CLevel Suite?

In recent years, the percentage of women holding senior and C-Suite roles in organizations has increased. However, breaking through the glass ceiling remains a very real challenge for most women – and the organizations that seek to retain and leverage their talent – to overcome. This is evidenced by the drop in the percentage of women from the mid-level leader range (28% women) to just 17% at the senior executive level.

PDI Ninth House – A Korn/Ferry Company, recently studied women leaders’ competencies, motivators, and experiences to understand the underlying dynamics, yielding insights that individuals and their managers, organizational leaders, and HR teams can act on immediately.

In this session, you will learn:

• The differences in motivators, experiences, and competencies between men and women that were identified in our recent “Women Executives: Breaking the Glass Ceiling” research, and the insight they provided into how to have an impact on career advancement for women
• Actionable insights that women can apply to address these issues to facilitate their own professional development and advancement, and that managers and mentors can use to better support the success of women professionals
• Strategies that leaders and human resources departments can leverage to drive widespread change on women in leadership throughout the organization
