Founded by Michelle Friedman in 2009, AWC is a boutique consulting and coaching firm dedicated to advancing women into greater leadership roles within demanding industries. We believe that building a strong pipeline of diverse talent requires a multi-faceted and systems-based approach, which includes individual action and organizational change. The progressive employers we work with recognize that without organizational commitment and a focus on workplace culture, diversity initiatives will be less impactful.
