Women are still dramatically underrepresented in leadership.
According to the 2023 McKinsey & Company Women in the Workplace study, for every 100 men who are promoted from entry level to manager, only 87 women are promoted, and only 73 women of color are promoted.
​
Female representation in leadership continues to dwindle as we move up the corporate ladder. Only 36% of senior managers and directors are women. Only 33% of VPs are women. And by the time we reach the C-suite, men represent 72%, while women make up 28%.
​
This phenomenon is called the “broken rung”.
​
Women are every bit as committed and ambitious as men. And yet, their careers are stymied from the very beginning.
​
Until the broken rung is fixed, gender parity in senior leadership remains out of reach.
​
It’s time we got to work.

More about Judy
What makes this training different.
It's highly interactive.
Throughout the program, participants will interact directly with course instructor, Judy Sims, as well as the other women in the cohort. They will share their thoughts and feelings, ask questions, and offer their experience as support to others.
It's designed to last.
Participants will learn a set of skills that will support them and their dreams for the rest of their lives. Never again will they hesitate to go for that promotion or to launch that ambitious project.
It's based in the real world.
As an executive coach, Judy Sims works 1:1 with leaders everyday, giving her intimate, first-hand knowledge of the challenges they face. Because of this, Judy is able to go beyond theory in her training by providing anonymized real-world examples to illustrate the training concepts. This creates a richer participant experience that deepens understanding and drives the training home.
