Profile of Leaders Joining Gutsy Leadership Circles
A broad cross-section of leaders across multiple industries are opting to be part of this conversation:
- Seasoned VP and Executive-level leaders (COO, EVP HR, SVP Business Development, Chief of Staff to CEO)
- First-time and aspirational leaders (Manager of Sales and Sales Executives)
- Entrepreneurs and business owners
- Groups of colleagues or teams interested in sharing the learning experience at the same time
A Gutsy Leadership Circle is:
- A fresh approach to professional up-levelling
- Courageous, unrestrained dialog around the real struggles keeping women up at night, often unspoken in organizations
- A community of like-minded gutsy professional women
- Anchored by curated research and thought leadership
- Scaffolding for safe and supportive exploration
This is Unlike Other Leadership Development Programs
We empower women to:
- Stand more fully and consistently in their power.
- Unearth a confident voice that doesn’t sacrifice femininity.
- Overcome fear programming and limiting beliefs.
- Shake striving for ‘superwoman status’ as a go-to strategy for confidence.
- Create more space for visioning and strategic thinking with mindfulness and intuition.
Comprehensive program outline below.
How Gutsy Leadership Circles are Different
Most leadership development programs are designed to support a very traditional definition of leadership, training the very topics women tend to be naturally drawn to and good at (emotional intelligence, communication, collaboration).
The “messy topics” loaded with fear and often unnatural to women are ignored (such as speaking up despite doubting if what they say matters, going for the promotion despite the fear of not having 100 percent of the role requirements, etc.)
Many of the women’s groups available focus on the personal and/or spiritual realm without professional context or up-levelling. Or, the professional context is offered but the “messy topics” very real to female leaders are often ignored or skimmed over.

1. ‘Busy as a Badge of Honour’ & What’s Your Why?
We explore what space you are allowing in your life for your deepest aspirations. Overscheduling and hustling for that which doesn’t serve leaves little room for what does.
2. Getting in Our Own Way: Fears and Limiting Beliefs
Much of the time, we are the biggest impediment to realizing our goals. A safe environment is created so you can get real about the ways you sabotage your success.
3. Authentic Leadership: Stand in your Power
You know what it feels like to be fully embodying your most brilliant self, you’ve felt its glimmers before. This is the state of being we will help you cultivate more of (perhaps even become the new norm!)
4. Riding the Edge: Fear + Power
With clarity about how you get in your own way and what your brilliance feels like, we explore practical tools to ride the exciting (and scary) edge so your power outshines your fear. It takes courage and self-compassion and we guide you through the steps.
5. Creating Space: Mindfulness and Intuition
Breaking old patterns that relinquish our power to our fears over our brilliance requires space so we can choose what we give power. This requires a special skill of observation without attachment and listening to our intuition.
6. Managing Energy + Self-Care
Self-care is beyond bubble baths. It is a way of being that is mindful of the numerous realms of our energy including physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. You will learn how to replenish each and how they get depleted.
7. Self-Advocacy: At Home + At Work
Family demands are cited by Harvard Business Review as one of the 4 biggest obstacles to a female’s career advancement. This is real and we unpack how to advocate your needs and boundaries in both the personal and professional realms.
8. Authentic Leadership 2.0
Timing is ripe to forge a new era redefining what authentic leadership looks like beyond embodying a version attempting to fit within the constraints of a traditional definition of leadership.
