The career of high-achieving women varies from a man's career. It is often not so straight-forward, starts later, ends earlier, encludes breaks for maternity.
Also, the individual values have an influence. Women tend to put family first, they find themselves juggling a lot.
One way to look at a high-achieving woman's career is to look at the different stages that resemble the life cycle: Exploring, Building & Accelerating, Balancing & Focusing, Tuning, Re-energising and Engaging & Retirement.
In between these career stages are Career Transitions, that can take place in the form of parenthood or redundancies. These transitions need support.
Mentoring and coaching are excellent tools to support women in different career stages. As women tend to reflect broadly and as they also appreciate conversational learning methods, coaching is a perfect tool for them.
