'The Sexualisation of Women in the Workplace'
The sexualisation of women in the media and in the wider world remains rampant and is an under-emphasised topic that feeds into how women are seen and treated in the workplace. Creating workplaces that are safe for women to thrive, where women are respected and their careers can progress means having a workplace where women are not sexualised, not harassed, and not blamed for being on the receiving end of unacceptable behaviour.
This is an issue that feeds into corporate culture, gender balance and equality, that doesn’t get enough attention at the moment yet is something that continues to support inequality and a lack of gender balance. If we want equality, we simply have to tackle the sexualization of women in the workplace. This is why Daniele Fiandaca of Token Man Consulting and I conducted some research into the prevalence of the issue and now support companies with tackling it.

$7.5 billion. That’s how much was spent on Diversity, Equality & Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in 2020 according to McKinsey. They predict that this will double to over $15 billion by 2026. And yet, it will still take 150 years to close the economic gender gap at current rates of spending and improvement.
Meanwhile, the trend of companies losing highly skilled, experienced mid-career and senior women continues; gender representation is far from balanced at senior levels; and companies are struggling to attract a diverse range of staff, especially women.
All of this begs the question, almost 50 years on from the original Sex Discrimination Act in the UK, are DEI initiatives delivering against their objectives or have women and corporates hit a diversity glass ceiling ™?
As a speaker, facilitator, trainer and coach, with a background in psychology, a decade in investments and a further decade coaching senior women on confidence and leadership - I specialise in working with companies in traditionally male dominated industries including banking, financial services and tech. I support my clients to recruit and retain the best female talent at all levels; to shift their culture to one of outstanding allyship and to get a genuine ROI on their gender-focused DEI initiatives.
I offer a range of services from one off workshops designed to start a different kind of conversation about DEI, to a series of workshops, programs and consultancy that help companies break through the diversity glass ceiling™. I also run in house confidence and leadership programs for senior and “rising star” women and take on a handful of 1-2-1 coaching clients each year for bespoke support.
