Award-winning
practices
Build your personal
pipeline
14. You clearly have a passion for
developing women leaders. Why? Did you
have your own catalytic moment?
• “Why not me”?
• You have not, because you ask not.
• Being an example so that others
see someone else achieving is my
“Why.”
15. Early in life, you discovered that
diversity is essential to a team’s success. How
has this shown up for you since then?
• True team success requires
varied perspectives and
complementary abilities.
• Research tells us that
organizations with more women
leaders produce better
outcomes.

college I had a vision of her
future…

17. Tell us about your conviction

21. What is Ball doing to execute
on its commitment to diversity & inclusion?
Three pillars of Ball Corporation’s
diversity and inclusion platform:
1. Consistent, uncompromising
messaging and investment from top
leadership.
2. Empowered and funded Ball
Resource Groups (BRGs.)
3. Consistent, sustainable executive-
level sponsorship of BRGs.
22. Starting in 2018, Ball achieved a
significant increase in the numbers of
women in leadership roles. How?
• The Talent Focus initiative identified
and recognized “ready and rising”
female talent.
• Result: Within twelve months, 7
women earned promotions to director
or vice president.
• Expanded into Europe and Latin
America in 2019.
• In 2019 Ball added a Women’s
Summit, a broad and inspirational
event, aimed at creating a culture
where women can bring their whole
selves to the workplace.
27. Ball’s top-level leadership is
highly committed to diversity and inclusion.
What ignited this commitment?
• Recognition that our sourcing pools for
attracting top tier talent was shrinking
(which made Ball less competitive)
• Increased credible data that
companies that are more diverse
outperform their counterparts
• Evidence of greater employee
engagement among colleagues who
are involved in D&I initiatives
28. What other actions can
organizations take to cultivate upcoming
generations of diverse leaders?
• People start their diversity & inclusion
(D&I) journeys from very different
positions.
• But there’s no disputing the evidence
that D&I is a business imperative.
• Leaders can relate to the business
benefits of D&I.
• Approach D&I from an evidence-based
business perspective.
31. Can you help demystify
succession planning and high-
potential programs?

32. What behind-the-scenes tips
can you share for anyone wanting to
advance their careers?
• Be yourself.
• …And be mindful of your relationship
with your direct manager.
• Understand your organization and
where the opportunities lie within it.
• Those who receive opportunities are
often aware of specific opportunities
that exist.
• No one checks every box. Don’t allow
that to stop you from pursuing
opportunities.

readiness can listeners use to construct
a pipeline to their ultimate roles?
