Invest in Your Women Leaders and

THE EDGE OF IMPACT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT EXPRESSLY FOR WOMEN

Global research indicates that female leadership
improves organizational performance.

In fact, organizations with leadership teams consisting of one-third women report 6% higher annual net profits.

But it’s not only profit. Studies have shown that when you increase the number of women in leadership positions, you’ll increase your likelihood of outperforming the market on metrics like revenue, return on equity and dividend yield.

Simply stated, women make excellent leaders. The proof is in the data. When evaluated by their superiors, direct reports and peers, women outperform men on 17 of 19 key leadership capabilities that differentiate excellent leaders from average to poor ones, including taking initiative, acting with resilience, and driving for results.

But within STEM industries,
optimizing female leadership can be a real struggle. 

Women make up 57% of the overall global workforce and earn half of all science and engineering degrees, yet they represent only 28% of the total STEM workforce. What’s more, research shows that:

More than half of women who take on roles in tech will quit before they reach the mid-level points in their careers, due to:

  • Lack of career progression 
  • Pay gap 
  • Poor work environment and harassment 
  • Lack of role models and mentors 
  • Lack of parental leave policies 

A global study reported a decrease in female representation in the pipeline for top leadership positions post-pandemic. Between 2019 to 2023 the percentage of women in senior roles declined, from 18% to 14% for Senior Vice President roles, and 19% to 16% for Vice President roles.

Imagine what it would be like if your organization had a program in place to attract, advance and retain your women leaders, while building a strong leadership pipeline.

The EDGE OF IMPACT gave me a higher level of self-awareness about my strengths that make a difference to my team’s projects and increased my confidence and comfort level. I work in a predominantly male engineering team and am now taking more risks which are making a huge difference to my team’s success.

Senior Software Engineer

I loved the one-on-one coaching and the nature of the training. I’ve been on plenty of leadership courses but never had coaching to look at my specific strengths and needs. The session covered more ground than any leadership course I’ve done before.

Incident Response Lead

I want women to know how incredibly motivating and empowering The EDGE OF IMPACT has been. Suzanne is honestly making such a difference in our lives. So grateful to her!

Senior Contracts Manager

I was promoted to Senior Manager and was recognized as a Values Awardee for my company and truly believe that everything I learned from the program contributed to this.

Senior Manager, Customer Care

For women feeling vaguely directionless or ready to take the next step but are uncertain where to start, this program will help:

a) Define the problem

b) Understand and discover themselves

c) Show them that they are not alone and meet other women they can turn to or lean on

If your company gets only ONE of these outcomes, the program is worth the investment a million times over.

Marketing Director

After bringing The EDGE OF IMPACT into the company, people were talking about how this showed that we truly value our female employees, we want their voices to be heard and we are investing in making this happen.

It’s more than just the value the program is bringing to the women, it’s the message it’s giving, the culture it’s creating.
