Put another way, it will take 48 years for the representation of white women and women of colour in senior leadership to reflect their share of the U.S. population. This is true parity for all women.” These challenges are frequently reinforced by deep-rooted cultural norms, stereotypes, and the persistent threat of gender- based violence. Becoming C-suite members is a major challenge female leaders face in the workplace. Coaching by women coaches can increase the inertia of developing women leaders and creating the nurturing space required to ward off all challenges faced by women achieving C-suite positions.
