Book A 30 -30-minute free Coaching Session: Understand Why Traditional Coaching Fails Women (And How WE Can Change That)
Celia Couture
Helping women shatter their inner glass ceilings and overcome barriers to unlock their full potential.
So, you walk into your first coaching session, and you are asked, "What is your goal?" or "What do you want?" But when working with women, this approach is deeply flawed—and research backs this up.
Women consistently aim lower than their true potential due to factors that traditional coaching, designed by and for men, needs to address.
Three invisible barriers are holding women from reaching their full potential in jobs, relationships, personal health, and so on! Do you identify with any of these? If so, you may need to look for a coach specializing in working with and for women.
1. The Expectations Gap
Research shows that women’s expectations for themselves are often 50% lower than men with the same qualifications. This disparity, known as the “Expectations Gap,” can be even more pronounced for women of color. This internalized limitation keeps women from setting ambitious goals, believing they deserve less.
2. The Power Penalty
The “Power Penalty” holds women back through the fear of being judged for ambition. Women who aim high are often viewed as less likable, causing them to downplay their achievements. The fear of failure and rejection compounds the issue, disconnecting women from their true aspirations.
3. The Self-Actualization Impulse
Women today are driven by a “Self-Actualization Impulse,” seeking not just success but fulfillment and purpose. This impulse can manifest as a desire to be visible, build meaningful relationships, align careers with values, and make a difference in the world. Yet many women struggle to name or articulate these more profound aspirations, leaving them disconnected from their potential.
Understanding these unique barriers transforms women. We can reshape and unlock their true potential by recognizing women's different aspirations and values to unlock true potential. According to studies conducted by Dr. Claire Zammit of the Woman-Centered Coaching method, "Our relationship with others is the gateway through which our potentials manifest. Women need to give and receive support on MULTIPLE LEVELS."
