Women's Leadership Acceleration

Advancing Women. Strengthening Leadership. Driving Results.

While our core services are designed for all leaders, our women’s leadership offerings are tailored to address the unique barriers, opportunities, and moments that shape women’s leadership journeys. We combine science-based insight, executive coaching, and practical skill-building to help women grow with clarity, confidence, and impact.

Why Focus on Women in Leadership?

Women continue to face distinct challenges navigating visibility, influence, and advancement in today’s workplace. Research shows that without targeted support, even the most high-potential women can stall in mid-level or rising leadership roles.

Our Women’s Leadership Accelerator helps close that gap—empowering women to lead with authenticity, navigate complexity, and step into larger roles of influence.

From Our Founder:

Why This Work Matters

At The Violet Group, our commitment to advancing women in leadership isn’t a trend—it’s personal, professional, and deeply rooted in evidence.

Dr. Stefanie Mockler, Founder and Managing Partner of The Violet Group, has spent her career researching and addressing the systemic challenges women face in the workplace. Her TEDx talk on why gender diverse teams helps organizations thrive, her doctoral research on gender and parental discrimination, and her widely shared writing on LinkedIn and in other publications reflect a clear throughline: women deserve better support, and organizations can do better.

As a leadership coach and organizational psychologist, Stefanie has worked with hundreds of women navigating leadership transitions, visibility gaps, and career pivots. Her mission—and the mission of TVG’s Women’s Leadership Accelerator—is to ensure women are not just included in leadership pipelines, but equipped to thrive in them.

Through targeted coaching, cohort-based learning, and organizational change, this offering reflects the belief that advancing women strengthens business outcomes, deepens culture, and reshapes what leadership looks like.

“Supporting women in leadership isn’t simply a side project. It is leadership work.” – Dr. Stefanie Mockler

THE CHALLENGE

The organization recognized a need to provide targeted support to this high-potential group—not just to retain talent, but to help these women grow into strategic, visible leaders who could shape the future of the business. The women themselves wanted to strengthen their executive presence, clarify their leadership voice, and navigate industry dynamics without losing their sense of identity.

THE SOLUTION

The Violet Group designed a tailored leadership experience that blended personal insight, skill-building, and peer connection. The program included:

  • Personality and values assessments to deepen self-awareness and surface individual strengths
  • Three group coaching sessions led by TVG executive coaches to foster candid dialogue, confidence, and peer support
  • Targeted leadership skill-building in
    • Strategic thinking and decision-making
    • Developing a clear leadership voice
    • Navigating power dynamics and influence
    • Leading with integrity in high-pressure environments

THE OUTCOME

  • Participants reported stronger confidence in their leadership identity and influence
  • Several individuals received expanded responsibilities and formal sponsorship
  • The group formed an ongoing peer network to continue learning and mutual support
  • Leaders reported greater clarity in navigating executive conversations, advocating for themselves, and staying grounded in their values while operating at the next level

The engagement helped each woman own her leadership story—and lead not by fitting a mold, but by expanding what leadership looks like in her industry.
