406 Strategic Gender Balance with Kathy Coleman

How essential is gender balance for business success? Does your workplace view challenges as growth opportunities? After a health crisis, Kathy Coleman shifted from a "just get on with it" mindset to valuing the vital role of emotional intelligence and gender balance in thriving organisations. Now through her work in gender balance and corporate transformation, Kathy emphasises the importance of balanced leadership traits for success, happiness, and well-being. Challenging the status quo and redefining workplace dynamics to foster a more fulfilling professional life, Kathy pioneers a different approach to gender balance: one that delivers transformational change for individuals, organisations and bottom-line profit.   KEY TAKEAWAY 'A more feminine approach is not just let's be clear about why we want to do this, but also let's enjoy the journey of getting there, and let's make it mean something for people, not just for profit.'   ABOUT KATHY Kathy Coleman spent over three decades delivering transformative change programmes on behalf of CapGemini, Deloitte and EY. Conforming to the traditional masculine characteristics of leadership took its toll and Kathy suffered a severe health scare. Inspired by her own journey and recovery Kathy now champions a paradigm shift that allows women (and men) to embrace their feminine leadership traits and find success, happiness and wellbeing from a more balanced and authentic place.   CONNECT WITH KATHY   https://www.linkedin.com/in/counter-culture https://www.instagram.com/kathycolemancoaching?igsh=eGVqdWJiNmFhajZn https://www.counter-culture.co.uk/ [email protected]   RESOURCE Hofstede research - https://www.hofstede-insights.com/   BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS* You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay - https://amzn.eu/d/dzhjd7S   Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez - https://amzn.eu/d/1feWQdc   ABOUT THE HOST - AMY ROWLINSON Amy is a Life Purpose Coach, Podcast Strategist, Top 1% Global Podcaster, Speaker and Mastermind Host.
