Leadership, Powered by Women
Leadership that feels like you. Support that meets you where you are.
Next Cohort
September 2025
A 12-month group coaching and leadership development program for women.
Designed for connection, depth, and sustainable growth —
with space for up to 30 participants per cohort.
You don’t need another leadership course. You need a reset.
You’ve already been leading — for a team, a project, maybe a whole department.
You’ve been stepping up in meetings, solving fires, keeping people motivated, showing up.
But under the surface?
- You’re still wondering if you’re doing it “right.”
- You’re still holding your breath through tough conversations.
- You’re still bending yourself to fit someone else’s idea of leadership — and it’s exhausting.
You’re not broken. You’re just under-supported.
This program was built for women like you —
Women leading in demanding roles without enough feedback, mentorship, or space to grow.
Women who are ready to do more than keep up — they want to lead well.
What makes this different?
This isn’t just information.
It’s coaching, community, and applied leadership development — designed for the realities of your work, your team, and your growth.
You’ll get:
- 12 carefully sequenced modules that build real leadership capability, not just theory
- Monthly group coaching sessions led by Lori Ann Duguay and our expert coaching team
- A tight-knit cohort of womenl navigating real-world leadership challenges
- Peer mentorship and guided reflection to deepen learning and accountability
- Practical tools and frameworks you can use immediately, not someday
- A leadership identity grounded in who you are, not who you’re told to be
Who it’s for
You’re in the right place if:
- You’re a new or mid-level leader managing people, but still feel like you’re guessing
- You’re in a male-dominated or high-pressure environment and often feel unseen or unheard
- You’ve already done some leadership training — but nothing has really stuck
- You’re tired of feeling like you have to do it all, prove it all, and know it all
You don’t need to be more qualified.
You just need a space that’s built for where you are now — and where you’re ready to go.
What you’ll walk away with
This isn’t theory. This is practical, grounded transformation — the kind that actually shows up in your work and your confidence.
You’ll learn how to:
- Communicate with clarity and presence — even in high-stakes situations
- Lead performance conversations and build a culture of accountability
- Influence without overexplaining, apologizing, or “proving” yourself
- Understand how to motivate and coach your team (without micromanaging)
- Navigate workplace politics, conflict, and change with more ease
- Build a sustainable leadership style — one that doesn’t burn you out

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions after reading the FAQs?
We’re happy to chat!
Send us a message or schedule a call—we’ll answer your questions and help you decide if this program is right for you.
What if I’m new to leadership?
You don’t need years of experience to benefit from this program. Whether you’re leading a team for the first time or stepping into more responsibility, this program helps you build confidence, core leadership skills, and real-world strategies from the start.
You’ll also learn alongside women at different stages of their leadership journey, so you can grow through both expert coaching and peer insight.
I’m already in a senior leadership role—will I still get value from this program?
Absolutely. This program is designed to grow with you.
If you’re already leading at a high level, we’ll help you refine your strategic thinking, strengthen your executive presence, and navigate high-stakes leadership with more clarity and impact.
You’ll gain access to advanced tools, 1:1 coaching tailored to your goals, and a powerful network of peers who are also driving change in complex environments.
What if I'm too busy to commit?
We get it—you’re already juggling a lot. This program is designed with this in mind,
You can expect to spend about 5–10 hours per month, including live sessions, on-demand content, and optional peer mentoring. The material is self-paced, and all live sessions are recorded, so you can catch up anytime.
The goal isn’t to add more to your plate — it’s to help you lead more effectively, with less stress and more clarity.
How interactive is the program?
This isn’t a passive course you watch once and forget.
Each module combines structured content with live coaching, peer mentoring, mastermind-style discussions, and practical tools.
Whether you thrive in small group settings or prefer personal reflection, there are multiple ways to engage and apply what you learn.
You’ll also receive 1:1 coaching to help personalize the experience to your unique leadership context.
What if I miss a live session?
No problem. All live sessions are recorded and shared with participants, so you’ll never miss out on key insights or discussions. You’ll also have access to the leadership community to keep the conversation going between sessions.
What are payment options? Can my company cover the cost?
We offer flexible payment plans to make the investment more accessible. You can choose to pay in full or in installments over 3 or 6 months.
Many participants are also able to use professional development funding through their employer. We’ll support you with a business case template and talking points to help you secure funding.
This program is also eligible under the Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG), which may reimburse employers for up to 50% of the cost. If your organization is investing in your growth, we’ll help you explore that option.
How is this program different from other leadership training?
If you’ve ever left a workshop thinking “That was interesting… now what?” — this program is the answer.
This isn’t a one-off event. It’s a 12-month learning experience designed to help you apply what you learn, reflect deeply, and grow over time.
You’ll get expert-led training, 1:1 coaching, and a supportive cohort of peers who understand what it’s like to lead in challenging environments. And you’ll walk away with leadership tools you’ll actually use — long after the program ends.
Read this before you go
I majored in Women’s Studies in university (back when low-rise jeans were in), and I thought I’d be changing the world from the outside. I pictured myself as an activist, pushing for gender equity, rewriting the rules, and shaking up the system.
And while a lot has changed since then (thankfully, including those jeans), some things haven’t. Women in leadership still face double standards, bias, and the exhausting balancing act of being seen as “strong enough” but not “too strong.” We’re still expected to do more to prove ourselves—while somehow making it all look effortless.
I created Leadership, Powered by Women because leadership isn’t something women need to “fix” in themselves. We deserve better tools, stronger networks, and a space to practice, learn, and grow together. It’s about making leadership work for you, on your terms.
This program is about community, confidence, and strategy. We want to give you the tools, conversations, and connections—so you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Because true leadership is about leading together.
If that sounds like something you’re looking for, I’d love for you to join us.
See you in the next cohort,
