Coaching Women: Changing the System not the Person - Geraldine Gallacher

. .

Résumé :
Why are there not enough women in leadership positions and how do we 'fix' this? Coaching Women takes a broader perspective on the issue of gender diversity and considers different ways of achieving systemic changes such as a shift to inclusive leadership and a re-think about current work culture and its implications for mental health.

Geraldine Gallacher unpacks this nuanced conversation through the lens of women's lived experiences and personal journeys, understanding that there are still many unseen barriers to women's progress. This book gives practical recommendations on how to equip more women with the tools to rethink their relationship with the notion of leadership.

Using in depth case studies and interviews, this book:

?Focuses on the interplay of a woman's personal journey with complex career structures
?Examines the power of stereotypes, leadership, and the double bind dilemma
?Highlights key stages where systemic challenges collide with personal identity
?Utilises robust research to unpack long held myths about women's confidence
?Offers practical suggestions on the best ways to coach women to achieve leadership success

Combining Geraldine's practical experience as both a leader and a coach, this book is for anyone in coaching and human resources, as well as those involved in DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion). It is also relevant for all leaders who are keen to adopt an inclusive leadership approach.

Geraldine Gallacher is CEO of the Executive Coaching Consultancy and an accredited Master Coach with the Association for Coaching. She is also co-chair of Inclusion and Belonging for the City Women's Network.

If you are an Executive Coach, a Leader intent on creating more gender balance or a professional woman at any stage of life - there is wonderful wisdom waiting for you in this book.
