Women in Leadership – Gains and Goals

For the first time in the history of the Fortune 500, women are leading 10% of the United States’ largest companies by revenue. It might not feel like much of a leap, but it is a milestone nonetheless. Seeing women in these roles, achieving success and delivering results at the top of their industries, the more motivated and vindicated the push for gender parity. It is also encouraging to see gains in the traditionally male-dominated industries including financial services, defense [...]

Why a growth mindset is your ultimate leadership advantage

We work our bodies – we push them to achieve more, to be stronger, faster. Sometimes we are able to do more than we can imagine, especially when we surround ourselves with a great team of trainers, nutritionists, doctors and so on. Not so for our mind. When was the last time you intentionally gave your mind a good workout? […]

How Delegation Helps Your Team… and You

The shift from doing to leading is notoriously hard for all executives. Distributing tasks, relinquishing control and putting your trust in your team are all skills you can learn and practice. When I was a project and program manager, I found delegation to be one of the most valuable tools in my toolbox, but it is one that I often see being misused and usually for the same reason. […]

Tech and the talent gap: no time to waste

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder big tech made many promises and pledges around diversity, equity and inclusion. Two years later, there’s little evidence of action or the level of sustainable change that we need to see. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 83% of tech executives are white. Business Insider’s research tracking progress in representation in the tech industry post George Floyd found that only 5% of the tech workforce, 3% of executives, and 1% of [...]

Have you got a culture people want to be part of?

Life is a contradiction. We are awash with good intentions, performative actions, anger, and apathy. We’ve never had it so good; or so bad. Everything is changing faster than ever yet progress is also extremely slow. Technology is going to make us work smarter not harder; things have never been so complicated. Which is true? All of it and also none of it! For this week’s blog I’m taking a look at some of the recent research that points to [...]

How (And Why) To Make Measured Moves

By now we are familiar with the ‘Great Resignation’ as thousands of people embark on a COVID-induced career rethink. Gallup reported late last year that nearly half of U.S. workers are watching or hunting for job opportunities, while 35% of all U.S. workers have changed careers in the past three years. […]

16 Things I’ve Learned From 16 Years of 2Hill Consulting

I'm so thrilled to be marking the milestone of 16 years of 2Hill Consulting, especially considering only 44% of businesses survive their first five years!

Where does change happen? It feels like change is all around us, an external force buffeting us around like a leaf on the wind. Real change, however, is internal. It happens within us and we have the power to control it, even when it feels like we control nothing else. Often, significant change starts with an inkling that we can do ‘more’ in our roles and responsibilities. It’s OK to admit you want more out of your career, your role, [...]
