About

The Glass Hammer is an award-winning blog and online community created for women executives in finance, law, technology and big business.

Our goal is to Inform, Empower and Inspire professional women with our content and our network. Our network can be the basis for your network.

We advise employers on how to create a working environment which is conducive to the continued development and success of women. To ensure gender parity and total inclusion in the workplace, there must be support from the top and structures in place that allow women to thrive not just survive.

Ways in which we can help your firm include:

  • Build your women’s network, or develop content for your existing network.
  • Diagnose problem areas and create solutions to implement for the improved attraction, development and retention of women in your firm.
  • Provide specialized courses via our learning partners e.g negotiation training
  • Organize networking events around a business discussion/panel debate
  • Organize career development events
