The I.Liv Foundation Program represents a transformative approach to professional development, specifically designed to empower mid-career professional women. As these women navigate the complexities of evolving career demands alongside personal life changes, I.Liv’s innovative program steps in to provide crucial support and guidance. Its tailored resources and integrated mobile app uniquely position it to address the often overlooked but critical ‘broken rung’ in women’s career ladders—a well-documented drop-off in the workforce that occurs at the managerial level. One of the key drivers behind this drop-off is the marathon of competing demands women face across various aspects of life, compounded by the heightened responsibilities that come with transitioning from individual contributor to manager. Our program directly tackles this challenge by providing women with the tools to manage these competing priorities with clarity and precision. We focus on empowering participants to balance their professional and personal responsibilities effectively, ensuring they can achieve outcomes that matter most in both areas. Instead of leaving women to navigate this crucial transition alone, we offer strategic guidance to help them not only survive but thrive as they step into leadership roles.
A Systemized Approach to Career Advancement: Gender-Agnostic, But Proven to Empower Women
The “broken rung” phenomenon presents a significant barrier to career advancement, particularly during the transition from individual contributor to managerial roles. This bottleneck, where women are less likely to be promoted to management, has a profound impact on their career trajectories. According to research from McKinsey & Company, for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 85 women make that leap.
While our solution is gender-agnostic—a systemized approach built on aggregated best practices to support anyone facing mid-career challenges—it is especially effective for women. Women’s programs have been shown to work better for women, as noted by a recent article published by the Women in communications and Technology (WCT) network, due to the unique pressures women face. Our program is tailored to address the multitude of demands that mid-career women experience from all directions. Women are often forced to make trade-offs that impact their well-being and personal relationships in an effort to “do it all.” By equipping them with strategies to manage these competing priorities with precision, our approach ensures that they don’t just survive but thrive, creating real impact in their professional and personal lives.

Integration with Corporate Goals
The I.Liv Foundation Program aligns seamlessly with corporate objectives focused on diversity, inclusion, and talent development, directly supporting organizational goals while delivering measurable outcomes for participants. By fostering a sense of control, improving prioritization skills, and promoting better work-life balance, the program addresses critical factors that contribute to higher retention rates—particularly for women in consulting, tech, and finance sectors.
Research indicates that when women feel empowered to prioritize their professional and personal responsibilities, they experience higher job satisfaction and a stronger commitment to their roles. This has a direct impact on retention, as employees who are more engaged and feel a sense of agency are less likely to leave the organization.
Sense of Control: Studies show that psychological empowerment, including a perception of control over one’s work and life, enhances both mental health and professional performance. Women who feel equipped to manage their responsibilities report higher job satisfaction and demonstrate greater loyalty to their employers .
Prioritization Skills: The ability to prioritize and manage time effectively reduces stress and boosts productivity, creating a more sustainable work-life balance. This enhanced focus helps women avoid burnout and stay committed to their organization long-term .
Work-Life Balance: Companies that support work-life balance through policies like flexible hours and a supportive work culture see significantly lower turnover rates. Women, in particular, benefit from this balance, as it helps them manage the competing demands of their professional and personal lives .
By integrating the I.Liv Foundation Program into their diversity and inclusion initiatives, organizations can not only strengthen their leadership pipelines but also foster a more inclusive, supportive work environment. This approach ensures that corporate goals are met while creating a culture where women can thrive and progress in their careers, ultimately leading to improved retention, job satisfaction, and long-term success.
