Audrey McGuckin is the founder of Women On Their Way, a premier leadership development program designed to improve and accelerate women's advancement. Her organization takes both bottom-up and top-down approaches to cultivate female leadership and help individuals identify their ambitions and improve their capabilities. With the World Economic Forum estimating it could take as long as 131 years to close the gender gap, McGuckin's big dream is to shave fifty years from that timeline by creating space for women leaders to talk about what has their attention. Her clients count on her honest appraisal, deep expertise, and encouraging guidance to help them make the right decisions.
