- You’re managing big responsibilities, tough decisions, and the pressure to do it all—without a roadmap or a mentor to guide the way.
- You’re great at supporting your team—but who’s supporting you?
You don’t need another leadership book or one-off workshop. You need real-world strategies, a strong network, and expert support to navigate leadership your way.

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,
