It speaks to the frustration of being labelled “high potential” while promotion stays out of reach.Through storytelling and relatable examples, NAVIGATE exposes five structural barriers operating across three levels in most organisations. These institutional filters keep capable women out of senior leadership even when performance is consistent and credible. NAVIGATE then provides a practical framework to help women stay eligible, secure senior-scope assignments, make their value unmistakable in evaluation systems, and gain fair consideration for senior leadership roles.
