Our Purpose
Our mission is to strengthen retention and advance gender parity in leadership by supporting women through health challenges without compromising their careers.
Gloria was founded by Laure Goubau, whose own lived experience navigating breast cancer while leading in a national law firm revealed the profound need for specialized leadership support during health challenges.
Today, Gloria brings together expert coaches with lived experience, evidence-based methods, and deep commitment to women’s leadership.
What Makes Gloria Different
- Coaching specifically tailored to women’s health experiences
- Coaches with significant professional backgrounds
- Integration with medical care, not a replacement for it
- Impact measured across every journey
