New firm aims to advance women in leadership roles

“A leadership development firm launched this month will provide mentoring programs, executive coaching and management consulting to professionals across the ranks.

While the services are available to both sexes, Newport Beach-based Business Women Rising was created with a goal of advancing the presence and effectiveness of women in leadership roles.

According to a recent report by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, only 2.5 out of 10 chief executives are women – a statistic that Business Women Rising wants to change.”
