$7.5 BILLION
That’s how much was spent on DEI initiatives in 2020 according to McKinsey. They predict that this will double to over $15 billion by 2026.
150 YEARS
That’s how long it will take to close the economic gender gap at the current rate of spending and improvement.

Five decades after the passage of the original Sex Discrimination Act in the UK, we have hit a diversity glass ceiling™.
beyond the diversity glass ceiling™
Imagine a world in which women have their fair share of power, success and opportunity and all companies have moved beyond the diversity glass ceiling™ to achieve true gender balance & inclusion.
We will only create that world when men get on board and work alongside their female friends, colleagues and partners to do so.
This is the world that I dream of, the world I passionately believe is possible and the world I fight for every day.
If you are a DEI leader in a male-dominated industry looking to move beyond performative diversity policies…
If you are a CEO, Founder, Director or Manager wondering how you can retain your female talent and improve gender balance in your business…
If you are a senior woman keen to experience greater confidence & to be widely respected as a leader…
LET’S SHATTER THE DIVERSITY GLASS CEILING™ TOGETHER
I offer a range of services from one-off workshops designed to start a different kind of conversation about DEI, to a series of workshops, programs and consultancy that help companies break through the diversity glass ceiling™.
I also run in-house confidence & leadership programs for senior and “rising star” women, and take on a handful of 1:1 coaching clients for bespoke support.

INSPIRING KEY NOTE SPEECHES & TALKS
“Harriet was one of our speakers at WeAreFutureLeaders, a conference that supports the next generation of female talent. Harriet’s talk was exceptionally well received by all our guests, the feedback was nothing short of amazing. Harriet has this wonderful ability that allows people to show their vulnerabilities and in turn be their most authentic selves. She is a wonderfully inspiring speaker who I have no hesitation in recommending. A real superwoman who empowers others wherever she goes.”

TRANSFORMATIONAL WORKSHOPS
“Thank you, Harriet, for joining our women’s network and providing something truly different. The conversation challenged us, made us question the status quo and drove us to think about how to work together to drive a different outcome. It was refreshing to have such an open and candid discussion. The post event survey gave your event a 4.88 out of 5 overall rating, with many women committing to raise their voices and increase their self-confidence. The overwhelming ask was for more!”

PRIVATE 121 & SMALL GROUP COACHING
“When I started with Harriet, I felt like a massive imposter in my new job, with lots of self-doubt, my inner critic in charge a lot of the time, and self-sabotage.. This program has completely tackled all of that, giving me tons of confidence and happiness, as well as helping me to prioritise my energy, health and wellbeing. I’m absolutely owning my leadership position now and truly believe I’m shithot at what I do - I deserve to be here doing this job! My colleagues recognise the value I bring and respect me, and I respect myself.”
