Expand your sense of self as a woman leader and develop your ability to actively and consciously ignite transformation for yourself, others, and the systems within which you work.

It's Time for Feminine Leadership

Many women in leadership positions have adopted more intellect-based leadership styles. The wisdom of their heart and intuition are often sacrificed and their natural relationship-based style abandoned in the face of ridicule.

Successful organizations are recognizing the importance of feminine leadership characteristics. It’s time to broaden our sense of who we are as women leaders and confidently bring our traditionally feminine strengths to the task. Time to experiment with what’s possible when we bring our whole, conscious, integral being into leading. 

Quick Overview

We have consciously integrated our professional experience and expertise, selecting powerful modalities and tools to support transformation and consciousness. These are grounded in evidence-based approaches in human psychology and organizational leadership.
