Coaching for Black women leading in white spaces.

Group Coaching

This image features a simple, elongated banner with a solid red background and white text. The text reads "Leadership Cohorts for Black Women Leading in White Spaces," clearly and prominently displayed across the banner's length. The design is straightforward, emphasizing the text to convey its important message focused on leadership development for Black women.

Are you a Black woman in middle management who is:

👉🏾 Feeling isolated as the/one of the only’s at your leadership level?  
👉🏾 Struggling with imposter syndrome while seeking to find your authentic leadership style?
👉🏾 Looking to lead effectively without sacrificing your well-being?  
👉🏾 Ready to (re)discover joy in your leadership journey?  

A Different Approach to Leadership

Our coaching groups focus on building a supportive community of badass, empathetic Black women looking to deconstruct leadership as they were taught and to build something new.

Our group experiences demystify and shatter long-held beliefs about how and why we lead.  We don’t have to:

  • Lead like white men to get ahead. 
  • Teach harmful lessons about paying dues to young leaders. 
  • Hoard information out of fear that someone will take our spot. 

Instead, we lead by: 

❤️ Creating authentic spaces to talk about our shared experiences. 
❤️ Embracing models of leadership that do not cause harm. 
❤️ Finding joy in leadership. 
❤️ Maintaining healthy leadership boundaries and normalizing rest.

Here are the benefits you’ll gain from joining our group:

✓ Discover your unique ‘imposter’ power and turn your differences into leadership strengths.
✓ Connect with a community of growth-minded peers who understand and support your journey.
✓ Learn strategies to lead with impact while preserving your mental and emotional health.

Group Details:

In each session, our topics will connect to these themes using empowering questions, interactive activities, and practical tools.  

Our collective work will be rooted in five core themes: awareness, alignment, authenticity, abundance, and accountability.  Think of these themes as anchors to bring you back to the things you say you want to be and do as a Black woman in leadership. 

We’ll use familiar leadership language (i.e. giving and receiving feedback), but our approach will be rooted in ways of leading that are healing and generative.  We will grow and stretch and rest.  And then we’ll grow some more.
