WOULD YOU RATHER CHANGE JOBS...OR
CHANGE THE WORLD
JOAN KUHL
I help organizations transform to better attract, support, and advance their female employees of all backgrounds and levels. Through my leadership training women and team leaders become their best advocates to affect positive culture change.
McKinsey reports that advancing women’s equality could add $12 trillion to global growth by 2025 - but companies have a new pipeline problem - women are leaving the corporate world in record numbers, and for every woman at the director level who gets promoted to the next level, two women directors are choosing to leave their company.
Let’s uncover exactly how your organization can be a part of the solution, using your existing resources in ways that drastically improve the engagement and retention of high-potential women in your organization.
JOAN IS PROUD TO SPEAK & ADVISE FOR:
It’s no mystery why women are leaving the world’s largest companies in droves.
-
GENDER INEQUALITY
From the pay gap to the struggle to get their voice heard, to the daily microaggressions, women feel overlooked and undervalued.
-
OVERWORKED
The 60+ hour work weeks, devoting much time to work that goes unrewarded, that often lead to burnout.
-
NO FLEXIBILITY
The extreme demands and constant balancing of personal responsibilities, including caregiving, while being a "high performer" - always sacrificing something.
The case for changing the business-culture for women is clear…
…and the impact is impressive:
-
REPUTATION
People want to work for companies that value diversity, equity, and inclusion because when prospective employees see women in leadership, they recognize opportunities for progression.
-
REVENUE
More diverse teams results in better problem solving, improved performance and ability to serve an increasingly diverse customer base. Having women in senior positions yields higher profitability - one more woman in senior management or on a corporate board is associated with 8–13 basis points higher return on assets.
-
RETENTION
Inclusive cultures have 22% lower turnover rates due to increased morale, opportunity, and equality. Research shows that we experience our most productive, innovative, and collaborative times when we feel we are part of a team.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
-
“As a career Army officer and a scholar of leader development, I have both lived and studied the real-world consequences of gender disparities. Of the many exceptional leaders I’ve encountered along the way, few have impressed me more than Joan in her unwavering commitment to promoting gender equity and helping women advance in their careers. When we first met 15 years ago at U.S. Military Academy at West Point, I was awed by her ability to inspire confidence across diverse groups and create truly inclusive leadership cultures. Joan is a true advocate and exemplar for inclusive leadership and for women in the workplace and beyond!”
