what our clients say

Her New Standard is committed to partnering with organizations to unleash the power of women leaders. 

“We began our partnership with Her New Standard in 2019 when they facilitated an interactive and insightful workshop on “What Holds Women Back” to our Harman Women’s Network on International Women’s Day. HNS was the perfect partner providing relevant content, robust dialogue, reflection and individual commitment to create tangible actions to elevate leadership levels.”
Carmen BlancoGlobal Director, Talent Management, Diversity & Inclusion and High Potential Programs Harman International

“Cultivate a Powerful Presence was spot on in identifying common obstacles faced by women in the workplace. It allowed for group discussion of shared experiences in a supportive and encouraging environment. It challenged attendees to not only hold themselves accountable for certain behavior and patterns that could be holding them back but also to envision means by which to attain optimal career success."
Jennifer WheelockMcGivney, Kluger & Cook, P.C., Chair of the Women in the Law Section of the CT Bar Assoc.

“Ellen led a riveting presentation – What Holds Women Back – which allowed participants to level set their own “current self” and work to develop their leadership potential, upon a greater understanding of themselves. We took away actionable tips immediately and put them into practice in our daily lives. We asked Ellen for a lot and she over-delivered.”
