Scaling the Rungs: Women Redesigning Leadership Pathways
Scaling the Rungs uses women's stories and AI-powered tools to inspire leadership in public service, while informing education and workplaces how to support women's advancement.
Women's advancement is constrained not only by structural barriers but also by narratives that distort whose leadership is valued. Scaling the Rungs pairs powerful stories of diverse women in government with the STR Navigator Portfolio - an interactive AI-powered tool guiding reflection, skills articulation, and career exploration. By accentuating government leadership pathways, it builds political efficacy and equips women to participate in governance, pursue elected office, and advance reforms that reduce structural barriers for future generations.
