Copyright 2015 Institute for Women’s Leadership
Our mission at IWL has expanded over the decades to offer far more than programs designed to advance women’s leadership. With more qualified women on staff than ever before, the business community is now ready to achieve full Gender Partnership – and enjoy the well-documented and sizeable financial and productivity benefits that come with it.
Gender Partnership means every member of your team working seamlessly and productively with every other member, regardless of gender. This means men and women learning from each other and leveraging each other’s special skills and talents — no more mixed messages, miscommunication, or hidden bias.
Our offerings include a Gender Partnership Diagnostic to help your organization assess where it stands, the hurdles it faces, and the actions it must take to move forward. We also offer training options for getting everyone on your team on board with Gender Partnership:
Our Diagnostic process provides an exceptional foundation for companies to use Gender Partnership to accelerate women’s leadership and advance business objectives. Our methodology provides a plan for implementing measurable changes and breaking through historic barriers to achieve leading-edge performance.
Your custom Diagnostic report will clearly present the major opportunities for your company, the strategic challenges it faces, your areas of excellence, your roadblocks, and specific recommendations that can be used as a prescription for action.
