About Pinkcareers - PINKCAREERS

Why We Started Pinkcareers?

Conventional wisdom says that women hit a “glass ceiling” that prevents them from reaching positions of leadership. But according to McKinsey and LeanIn.org, the biggest obstacle women face is the step up from entry-level position to manager or the “broken rung”. Once women fall behind on their first promotion, it’s a catch-up game from there – both in terms of career advancement and the confidence to see themselves as a leader.

What would be possible if early-career women had access to the tools and coaching that have traditionally been available to only mid-career or senior-level executives? And at a fraction of the cost?

Pinkcareers makes this possible. We offer expert advice, resources, and coaching to high-potential women in the first 10 years of their careers so they can advance towards positions of leadership from day one. We partner with organizations to provide 1:1 coaching, high-touch point leadership programs, and career training to their high-potential women. Working with Pinkcareers, they can discover their authentic leadership style, solidify their confidence to lead, and thrive with their uniqueness and differences. In turn, organizations build a truly sustainable pipeline of exceptional global female leaders.
