We as a company strive to nurture female leaders at every level in business through its unique leadership development programs. When asked what advice Colantuono would give to another female CEO, she says, > “As a CEO, or as an executive or director for that matter, if women aren’t proportionately represented throughout your organization, you aren’t facing a women’s issue — you’re facing a talent development issue with business implications. And so it’s important to bring your personal commitment and the same level of organizational accountability to that challenge as you would to any business issue.” JL Haber, Vice President of Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, couldn’t be happier to feature Leading Women. He says, > “The topic of empowering women in the workplace is something that can’t be discussed enough. That’s why we’re so thrilled to feature Leading Women on our show. The company is a tremendous example for all of us who strive to give women the opportunities they so deserve.” Tune in to [Fox Business Network](http://www.foxbusiness.com/about/channel-finder/index.html) as sponsored content on Sunday, March 4, 2018 at 5:30pm EST and [Bloomberg International](https://www.bloomberg.com/live/schedule-shows) at 7:30am GMT, 10:30am D.F. and 3:00pm HKT.  Leading Women has helped global corporations solve their Gender Diversity Business Imperative with research-based solutions to close the leadership gender gap.  If you would like to learn more about how Leading Women’s programs can help you reach your goals, [contact us](https://www.leadingnow.biz/contact-us).
