I’m a neuroscience-based coach, passionate about DEI, and I empower women and diverse professionals to move into leadership roles.
Very few STEM professionals are trained in the leadership and communication skills needed to move up in their careers. Even people with MBAs can lack the ability or strategies to lead effectively. Communication, motivation, conflict management – these skills are too often “learned” through trial and error.
Minority and women technical professionals trying to rise therefore face three challenges: like their white male peers, they were never trained in the necessary leadership skills. Unlike their white male peers, they are usually not automatically seen as potential leaders. These two challenges lead to the third: a lack of confidence.
