We have received such positive feedback on the tools and strategies to overcome gender bias in the workplace you provided– both institutional and the barriers we create for ourselves.

– International Development Organization
“The National Institutes of Health was honored to host Beth Hand and to hear her speak on “Gender Bias: What Men and Women Need to Know to Lead More Powerfully, More Inclusively and Get Better Business Results”. She spoke brilliantly about learning skills to level the playing field, negotiate and take risks. “What’s your game changing initiative” is the question Beth left our organization to ponder and develop strategies for. We look forward to more insightful conversations with Beth. “

“I want to thank Beth for making the impossible possible. Her commitment to exceed expectations was evident while presenting at ICF Philadelphia’s Professional Development Day. Beth is smart, sincere, passionate and offered us many new perspectives about gender bias which expanded our understanding. That is exactly what we want from a conference speaker.”
– Peg Calvario, ICF Philadelphia Chapter President
“Beth Hand of “Leadership Hand” lived up to her business name when she spoke at 40Plus of Greater Washington. Faced with a smaller audience than expected, she immediately used the opportunity to make her talk and advice more intimate (rather than giving a one-size-fits-all talk). Her presentation on the decision making process and what influence us and how to avoid pitfalls was excellent. She was timely, relevant and in tune with the needs of the crowd. I would highly recommend Beth to help you or your company with leadership and decision making issues. She was very engaging.”
– Giovanni Cappelletti, Director of Speakers Bureau at Forty Plus of Greater Washington
