[Specific to women, advice and coaching range from: how to deal with  a predominantly male work and communications culture; how to deal with work/family issues; how to deal with overt harassment or discrimination problems;  how to deal with a boss, colleague, or staff member who is clearly uncomfortable with women at work; and how to recognise and avoid the ‘glass ceiling’  career plateau].
