Handbags in the Boardroom

Too few women are landing boardroom positions. We still have not achieved gender equality despite powerful evidence that gender diverse teams improve business performance. In Handbags in the Boardroom, Sandra Green shares over 30 different reasons why women haven't made it to the boardroom and what can be done about it. Many women believe that they should get there on merit. Unfortunately, and according to the World Economic Forum, it's going to take 120 years for gender equality to happen. That is too long. We have to tap into our emotional intelligence, our collaboration, our natural empathy, our desire to make a real difference in the world and build our confidence that we really can make change happen much faster. In this book, Sandra shares practical tools and techniques for organisations and for individuals that: Provides proven approaches for creating a strong pipeline of female leaders Enables leaders to boost their self esteem, impact and respect Suggests ways in which female leaders can get clear on their leadership purpose and legacy Sandra Green is an executive coach, specialising in helping women leaders lead with authenticity and confidence.
