Women Who Lead

Female Talent Solutions

Let's be honest.

Most companies were created by men with a male-centric approach.

No wonder we don’t see gender-balanced C-Suites and boards.

Even-though companies recognize the power of women to grow, they still need help attracting, retaining, and promoting female talent.

Male Leaders

The inclusion of women starts with the CEO, which in most cases are men.

Men who lead work directly with Frances to understand what needs to be done to create work environments that inspire women to stay, prevent sexual harassment and equal pay lawsuits, and connect better with the female consumer.

Based on your leader’s needs, we create programs covering coaching and training.

Female Executive Search

“I cannot find female talent for particular positions and leadership roles in my industry,” and “The pool of resumes is always inclined to more men” It’s what I hear every week from HR and C-Suite leaders.

It is not that there are none.

The reasons are a combination of how you search, promote your company, and hiring practices.

Relax; we can help!

We will make it happen whether you are looking for female talent or Latina leaders for a leadership role or an addition to your board of directors.
