Former Facebook Exec Launches Career & Leadership Coaching FirmNEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Debra Bednar-Clark, former Head of Global Strategy & Growth for Facebook's Creative Shop, has launched a unique career and leadership coaching firm that incorporates both elements of substance and style for women who want to achieve maximum success and fulfillment in their professional lives.  For more information on DB+co, please visit http://thinkdbco.com/services/. Working with individuals and corporations, DB+co's multi-dimensional approach gives women the confidence to embrace and present all facets of their authentic, "whole self," thereby increasing their competency as leaders. Unlike other coaching firms, DB+co recognizes how linking women's values, purpose and passions to those of the organization can facilitate both individual and organizational growth. "As a female leader in tech, I felt like I had to compartmentalize my identity, separating my 'true feminine self' from my corporate persona, which left me feeling incomplete and that I had something more to give. When I brought my whole self forward, I was able to not only make a greater impact but also be fulfilled doing so! I started DB+co because I realized I wasn't alone. The modern working woman is eclectic, dynamic, complex and wants to embrace it al, but has lacked the guidance and support needed to do so," said Ms. Bednar-Clark. "But we can't separate the corporation from the woman. We must arm companies with more progressive approaches to investing in their female talent. Only then can we start to imagine a world where women maximize their impact, companies become more successful, and we create an ecosystem where everyone is more fulfilled," said Ms. Bednar-Clark. DB+co serves women looking to thrive in today's workplace and the organizations that want to recruit and retain them, advocating that the two must stand in solidarity to create a new generation of leaders. Its services, available in workshops, webinars and one-on-one sessions, include:
DB+co currently serves clients from companies including Amazon, Hearst and Condé Nast. "At Facebook, I had the remarkable experience of witnessing up close the launch of COO Sheryl Sandberg's 'Lean In' movement, empowering women to play a bigger role in pursuing leadership roles and ensuring their voices are heard at work," said Ms. Bednar-Clark. "DB+co builds on that momentum, taking the movement a step further to also incorporate that intersection of substance and style, bringing all the dimensions of a woman into a singular role."
