"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."

Carolanne Minashi, Global Diversity and Inclusion Leader, Financial Services Industry

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
