Coaching for Confidence: The Role of Intersectionality in a Woman’s Career Path

June 30, 8 - 9 am EST

Presenter:
Jen Murphy, Assistant Dean of Career Management and Student Success, Ohio University College of Business

Women have faced barriers in their career trajectories, even before COVID-19 upended their already fragile leadership pipelines. In addition, a renewed and important focus on identity and how it interfaces in all environments makes it important to foster and encourage acknowledgement of each person’s intersectionality through career coaching and in business settings. Using current coaching methods but with a new lens, this presentation will utilize a case study format to demonstrate that while there are situations and circumstances that are unique to women, they can’t be approached in the same way. Simply put: women are not a monolith. Based on these insights, the session will highlight how a shift in career coaching can empower and contribute to a woman’s positive self-efficacy, storytelling, and narrative. Lessons learned will be shared that challenge barriers and assumptions women face; especially navigating their career journey and embracing their narrative. Employers will learn how to empower their women leaders by applying these coaching methods to increase their self-confidence.

Imagine, you’ve sifted through thousands of resumes, attended countless events, and connected with every possible candidate for your open positions. Then alas, you find that “unicorn” who not only surpasses every qualification, but also has the pizzazz and competitive profile that every company is willing to offer something a little extra to sweeten the deal. Companies strive to pipeline and hire qualified and diverse candidates, but it is challenging in this competitive market. Sometimes you feel like you need something “stronger” to get that “unicorn” to accept. Recruiters and managers would agree that a diverse team helps companies be more innovative, creative and achieve better results. Studies show and we know intuitively that diversity recruiting contributes to a better overall performance.
