The Truth. Why We Exist
"Leadership ability determines a person's level of effectiveness" - John Maxwell
​
-
When women and people of color have mentors and sponsors, it can narrow the advancement gap between women and men.
-
According to the Mckinsey&Company Women in the Workplace 2018 study for every 100 men promoted to manager, just 79 women are promoted. This gap in the promotion rate to manager is worse for women of color. Most notably, for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 60 Black women are.
-
White Men Account for 72% of Corporate Leadership at 16 of the Fortune 500 Companies.
-
Of the 5,089 executives and senior officials at 16 of the Fortune 500 Companies, 80% are men
-
Minority employees experience a heightened awareness of their difference in the workplace (Catalyst, 2016)
-
2014 census data released by the federal government revealed the awareness and opportunity gap experienced by 1st Generation professionals equates to a $30,000/year salary loss compared to those who had college-educated, professional parents.
Truth is, these statistics prove that while minorities, women and 1st generation professionals must work twice as hard to earn a seat at the table, simply exceeding performance is not enough to move up. Performance alone only accounts for 10% of your potential to move up in your career.
​
Networking requires cultivating relationships with internal and external contacts to exchange information, and develop professional, or social sponsors. Successful networking requires intentional and delicate balancing of PERFORMANCE, IMAGE, and EXPOSURE.
Crystal Khalil & Associates is founded on the premise that hard workers work hard, and networkers move up. The rules to success should not be a secret reserved for the privileged few. By increasing your leadership lid, and potential, we will guide you through navigating the corporate structure, and share the keys to open the doors of success.
​
It is our desire that you will then hold those same doors open for the next person on the journey.
