Young african american woman tired, exhausted from working studying hard. Bored and frustrated looking at laptop. Head resting on hand. Bright space big windows. At home concept. Stress concept.

You’ve worked twice as hard to get half as far—then you finally get the promotion… just as everything’s falling apart? Sound familiar?

That’s the reality for many women in leadership. Whether it’s hitting the glass ceiling or being handed the reins during a crisis (glass cliff), these hidden barriers are still very real in 2025 for women.

But this isn’t just about challenges. It’s also about the wins, the resilience, and what it really takes to lead with confidence.

In this webinar, we’ll talk honestly about the ups and downs of women’s leadership journeys—what gets in the way, what keeps us going, and how we build workplaces that support, not sabotage, the next generation of women leaders.

Key Discussion Points

  • What exactly are the glass ceiling and glass cliff— and why are they still so common in 2025?
  • The silent impact of being the “first” or “only” women in leadership settings
  • How to lead with confidence without burning out
  • Personal stories from two CEO’s who’ve led with impact—and stayed true to themselves
  • Practical tips for navigating tough leadership roles without losing yourself
  • Social economic barriers
  • How we create workplaces where women—especially women of colour—are set up to succeed, not struggle

Whether you’re climbing the ladder yourself or supporting others on their way up, this conversation is for anyone who believes women deserve to feel seen every step of the way.
