She wants to help educate the general public too. The more people who are educated about trans issues, the greater the acceptance and the easier it will be for trans people to live their lives in peace. Most bigotry and prejudice comes from ignorance and fear of the unknown. Education can and does save lives.

the female factor

the female factor is on a mission to close the (gender) leadership gap.

We are a global community for a new era of female leaders enabling them to get their seat at the table by boosting confidence, competence & connections.

Tremendous social, political, environmental and economic forces have radically reshaped life as we knew it, and one thing is clear: Our world increasingly needs us to show up in a more human way.

It’s time for a new era of leaders who demonstrate self-awareness, empowerment, high levels of emotional intelligence and a collaborative mindset. We believe that by embracing their innately feminine power, their “female factors” such as empathy, intuition and compassion, women will step up, leading our world for the better.

According to research, a woman needs three things to succeed in her career: Confidence to believe in herself, connections to lift her up & create opportunities, and the right set of competencies to deliver results.

Our research-backed opportunity journey is designed to help women get ahead with the right mentors, hands-on career knowledge, accountability partners, confidence training and a great network of peers.

Together we are enabling women to seize opportunities, get their seats at the table and build a brighter tomorrow for all of us.

iRelaunch

iRelaunch is a career reentry consulting, training and events company focused on bringing professionals back into the workforce after extended leave.

iRelaunch approaches this work from “both sides of the equation” – by providing tools and resources to best support the relauncher population looking to return to work and partnering closely with employers to create formal pathways back into the workforce for these grounded, educated, experienced, enthusiastic and dedicated professionals.

As the pioneering company in the career reentry space, we are at the forefront of innovation in returnship and return to work programming. Our years of experience and deep understanding of the relauncher pool and the employers looking to hire them puts us in a position to spot trends at an early stage and to influence their direction.

There have been three waves of return to work programming activity since return to work programs began in 2005, and we have been actively involved in each of them, starting in the very early stages. The first wave was driven by Wall Street and financial services, the second by tech-infused companies in a range of sectors, and we predict the third wave will be driven by the public sector, with the recently announced State of Utah’s returnship program leading the way.
