How Leadership Training Creates the Glass Ceiling
Who would have thought that leadership training helps create the glass ceiling? By focusing on "soft skills", traditional leadership training doubles down on skills that most studies show women already excel at, while neglecting to teach skills that are truly crucial to climbing the ladder and moving into C-suite roles.
Learn about the two key traps that leadership training creates for women leaders -- and how to avoid them.
Talk Outline
We’ll cover:
- Gender dynamics that push women into less senior, execution-focused roles
- How traditional leadership training helps men and hurts women
- The one skill you need to develop to be seen as a high-performer
- Behaviours that make you seem more junior (and what to do instead!)
The goal of this talk is to give you the training roadmap you need to take on more senior roles and avoid the glass ceiling.

About Our Speaker
Holly Burton
Executive Coach for Women in Male-Dominated Industries
Holly is an executive coach for women in male-dominated industries. She works one-on-one with ambitious women to help them lead, get promoted, and create the careers they actually want in industries they love.
As a mining engineer for the first ten years of her career, Holly was exposed to one of the most male-dominated spaces -- just 17% female. She uses the unique perspective she gained as a woman in mining, alongside her obsessive nerdiness for all things feminism, leadership, and career to help women create the working world they deserve while they wait for the rest of society to catch up.
