Take The Lead (TTL)
TTL combines education, structured listening, and employer engagement to reshape hiring, turning narrative change into measurable behavior and systems change for women facing structural barriers.
Biased beliefs, narrow stories, limited public awareness, and persistent pay gaps limit women's access to fair hiring, especially for those facing multiple barriers. TTL addresses this by putting narrative change into practice and building it into how employers make decisions. The intervention combines a workforce-ready Cornell certificate of completion for women with shared learning processes that turn lived experience and employer perspectives into practical tools for HR leaders, reshaping hiring toward fairer workplace outcomes.
