We are a community
Programming designed to help women navigate the professional landscape, build confidence, and achieve their career goals. It aims to ensure that participants define their future by their ambition, brilliance, and unwavering drive.
Just Imagine
A community of women who believe in each other's gifts, deepening their understanding of what it means to lead with vision and purpose.
Together, we can take action to ensure that each of us is equipped with the knowledge, tools, and talents needed to uplift ourselves and others.
We Grow Together
In a world where the presence of women leaders in the workplace is often questioned, our potential underestimated, and the pay gap persists, we need each other more than ever.
Ascending Together is more than just a workshop series; it's a community built on shared experiences and collective empowerment. We will move beyond the challenges and focus on actionable strategies for success.
Learn to negotiate effectively, build powerful networks, and cultivate the leadership skills necessary for advancement. Join us and transform obstacles into opportunities.
Our Principles
Mission Driven
Great leaders act with purpose and intention. They understand their personal motivations and the collective goals they aim to achieve with others.
This collaborative approach fosters community and inspires action to reach the best possible outcomes.
Values Led
Our purpose and intentions are guided by the values that ground us and provide us with meaning.
Great leaders excel at balancing personal and professional goals while also recognizing the importance of strengthening relationships and building community with others.
This approach transforms the ordinary into the outstanding and makes the seemingly impossible achievable.
Impact Focused
We prioritize the benefits that result from our work.
We enhance leadership skills that not only focus on processes and methods for achieving results but also on the meaningful impacts of helping others grow their talents and achieve positive outcomes and high impact for everyone involved.
