Modern Gen X Woman

As a professional woman, do you ever feel unheard and unseen? In your career are you working really hard yet not seeing the growth you want? As an entrepreneur are you struggling to actually bring in any significant cash?

These two problems may seem disconnected— like they have nothing in common, but they actually do.

We’ve coached over a hundred women to the high point of their professional success. Through this process, we uncovered the one common denominator keeping smart professional women lagging behind.

It’s actually why women are only making $.82 on the dollar, it’s why women only hold 24% of senior leadership positions, it’s why women cut their rates when they get a price objection.
