description Group coaching enhances women's career progression by fostering social capital and overcoming barriers to informal networks. Qualitative studies demonstrate increased self-esteem, courage and resilience, aiding women in navigating gendered career challenges. This study quantitatively assesses the impact of women-only group coaching on social capital, self-esteem, resilience, courage and career advancement. Results reveal significantly higher bridging capital and courage in coached women compared to participants who did not receive coaching, though resilience and self-esteem show no significant difference. Coached women are also more likely to receive a pay rise, providing empirical support for interventions aimed at promoting female career advancement.
