In Her Own Voice

Description

In Her Own Voice reveals how Jennifer McCollum and other C-suite women leaders have overcome the unique challenges women face in business.

The data-grounded roadmap offers advice and empowerment for any woman who aspires to rise to more senior ranks in leadership…and any organization wishing to accelerate gender equity at every level.

The world has awakened to the urgent need to focus on women’s advancement—companies with gender-balanced leadership are far more likely to outperform their peers, and the evolving expectations of leadership align to women’s natural strengths. But we’re nowhere near achieving that equity. Less than 10 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are women, and the pace of growth is shockingly slow, made worse by COVID-19 and its aftermath.

What does it take for women to ascend permanently into leadership roles? In Her Own Voice—written by Jennifer McCollum, CEO of Linkage, a decades-old leadership-development firm with a mission to “Change the Face of Leadership”—reveals some answers. Based on 25 years of research, Linkage has identified the specific hurdles women face:

• Inner Critic
• Internal Bias
• Clarity
• Proving Your Value
• Recognized Confidence
• Branding & Presence
• Making the Ask
• Networking

In Her Own Voice outlines the key competencies and action steps to overcome these obstacles. Backed with data and infused with compelling real-life stories, it’s a blueprint for helping readers identify, measure, and conquer what’s holding women back at any stage of their careers.
