What participants and partners get

Replacing a key employee can cost up to twice their salary (SHRM, 2025). Development at the mid-career stage, where attrition among technical women concentrates, is one of the lowest-cost ways to keep them.

Participants leave with:

  • A written plan

    A development plan built during the program, with defined goals they take back to their manager

  • A peer cohort

    Cross-company peers matched by level and domain, who stay in touch after the program ends

  • Practices that last

    Ways of working that hold up in high-interrupt, high-stakes roles

The authentic relationship building is priceless. Thank you!

The breakout sessions throughout the day were amazing.

Verified BCH program participants

Your organization gets:

  • Retention at the inflection point

  • Sustained capability in high-load roles

    Leaders who keep decision quality high through on-call weeks, launches and change.

  • A stronger leadership pathway

    Participants with sponsors, a plan and a clear picture of what good looks like.
