In today’s professional services landscape, attracting and retaining brilliant women isn’t just about ticking a diversity box - it’s about building a culture where women can lead in their own way, and thrive.

Even firms with the best intentions often struggle to close the gap between policy and lived experience. That’s where I come in.

I partner with organisations ready to move beyond surface-level fixes and create meaningful, measurable change. My collaborative, strategic approach is always grounded in psychological safety because when women feel safe, they speak. And when they speak, everything changes.

How I Help Forward Thinking Firms Retain & Elevate Female Talent

How I Help Organisations Drive Real Change for Women

I help professional services firms like yours diagnose hidden barriers, design meaningful solutions, and embed sustainable cultural change - so you retain, advance, and empower the women in your workplace.

Here’s what working with me looks like:

1. Diagnose the Hidden Barriers

Through deep listening workshops, anonymous surveys, and cultural audits, I help you uncover the invisible dynamics; unspoken norms, biases, and systemic patterns, that hold women back. This isn’t just a compliance check; it’s a discovery process to understand the lived experience inside your firm.

✔ Deliverable: Clear summary report of findings, highlighting key barriers and opportunity areas.

2. Create Safe, Strategic Conversations

I design and facilitate structured women’s discussion groups and mixed-gender sessions where employees can openly share their experiences, needs, and ideas. These are not superficial focus groups; they are psychologically safe spaces that surface truth and build trust.

✔ Deliverable: Session summaries and thematic insights, plus a sense of collective ownership and buy-in.

3. Provide Strategic Recommendations

I analyse all gathered insights and deliver a tailored set of recommendations, aligned to your specific challenges and goals; whether that’s improving promotion pathways, rethinking mentorship, or strengthening leadership development.

✔ Deliverable: Actionable strategic roadmap, designed to guide internal initiatives.

4. Advise & Support Implementation

I act as your trusted advisor, helping you translate recommendations into practice. This can include supporting leadership teams, advising on programme design, or creating feedback loops to ensure new initiatives resonate with women.

✔ Deliverable: Ongoing advisory support and implementation guidance.

5. Build Long-Term Momentum

I help you embed these conversations into your organisational rhythm; ensuring women feel consistently heard and supported, not just once. Together, we lay the groundwork for measurable, lasting cultural change.

✔ Deliverable: Frameworks for continuous engagement and feedback, plus support on measuring impact over time.

Why It Works

This isn’t about “fixing” women. It’s about creating the conditions where women, and everyone there, can thrive.

When you shift from assumptions to insight, and from isolated efforts to systemic change, you unlock stronger performance, greater innovation, and a more resilient leadership pipeline.

If your firm is ready to stop guessing and start transforming the culture where women work and lead, I’d love to partner with you.
