WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

Are Top Women Leaders Heading for the Door?

Women struggle to advance up the leadership ladder, currently filling only about a third of all leadership roles. Often, the problem is that they aren't given the opportunities they need to grow and develop. That's why more women than men say they plan to leave their current employers to find their next opportunity.

Can you afford to let these talented women head for the door? We'll help you create an environment and system where women leaders can thrive.

Engage Leaders with a Powerful Keynote

Build excitement for your women in leadership initiative with a high-energy, interactive keynote. Our keynote is the perfect fit to kick off your program, or add to your conference. It can even be a lunch-and-learn session.

The keynote presents both the business case for women in leadership and offers real-world wisdom. Attendees will leave with practical tips to build their confidence, inner strength, and leadership value.

It’s not just about developing themselves and developing each other. From a business perspective it also gives them personal challenges, but then it also helps us to think about how we grow CI as an organization.

Improve Inclusion with Virtual Reality

Many leaders today understand and support women in leadership. But often, it’s only at a theoretical level. In reality, they may lack an emotional connection to the issue. After all, if they haven’t experienced it, it can be tough to relate.

Enter the empathy machine: virtual reality. Through VR, DDI has developed a powerful experience that will help every leader understand exclusion. With a new understanding, they’ll be ready for a whole new conversation about inclusion.

Activate Allies for Women Leaders

Empower executives, managers, and colleagues to be allies to women. DDI’s allyship programs uniquely focus on what allies can do to champion women versus what they cannot do. Supporting gender equality is not a favor toward women, but a necessary step to improve life and work for everyone.
