Fact: you deserve to lead a fulfilling life and career you love, that feels authentic to who you really are inside.
But do you know how to unlearn the conditioning that’s keeping you small, set a bigger vision, and make yourself a priority?
Leadership School is a virtual, 6-week-long small group coaching experience that teaches you how to:
Stop listening to biased conditioning that suggests you are small, weak, in need of “empowerment” and need to change or fix yourself in order to succeed
Set a bigger vision of what’s possible for your career and finally bet on yourself, your values, and your dreams
Make yourself a priority and take consistent action on the things that will move the needle and create the changes you want to see in real life
If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, and want to become a powerful leader of your own life and career without having to power pose, lean in, and abandon who you are to do it, this program is for you.
Authentic leaders who love their lives aren’t born, they simply stopped listening to biased conditioning, started listening to their intuition, and made themselves a priority. See how we do it.
Women who lead lives and careers they love (without sacrificing who they are or what they value) are just like you, except for one thing – they made themselves and their growth a priority, instead of leaving it up to their employers (or up to chance).
Most women feel burned out and unfulfilled not because they’re saying yes to too much (even though they are) but because they don’t know what to say no to.
They feel pressured to retrofit themselves into outdated molds of leadership that don’t work for their authentic selves. They feel pressure to be perfect, please others, and say yes to everything.
They get stuck in the achievement trap, putting all their energy into the next goal only to reach it and feel unfulfilled, burnt out, and frozen… so they never make moves towards what they want.
The unfortunate reality is that most women never reach their full, authentic potential as leaders, and it makes them feel burned out and unfulfilled in their lives and careers.
Only a fraction figure out how to make themselves a priority, overcome perfectionism, and take consistent action that unlocks their authentic potential as leaders.
They build careers of their dreams, earn coveted leadership positions and genuinely enjoy their lives.
They start their careers in exactly the same place as burned out women who feel stuck, except for one thing: women who grow into their authentic leadership potential learned how to lead their life and career in a way that aligns to who they truly are, and actually took action to make it their reality.
Anyone can learn how to lead authentically, and on their own terms, to build the life and career of their dreams.
Women who feel burned out and unfulfilled listen to bad advice that drives them to make themselves their lowest priority, focus on people-pleasing and being perfect, and have no idea how to get past the overwhelm.
They feel stuck and unable to take action that moves them towards what they want, and live far beneath their leadership potential as a result.
That’s not going be you.
Leadership School is a virtual, 6-week-long small group coaching program that teaches you how to stop listening to biased conditioning, set a bigger vision of what’s possible for your career and life, and finally make yourself a priority so it becomes your reality.

Who is this for?
Leadership School is for the busy, ambitious, high-achieving professional woman who wants more for her life and career, and feels stuck. She is tired of being told to “lean in,” “power pose” and “pull up a chair.” She is craving tangible tactics that actually move the needle on what she wants.
She is no longer willing to waste her precious time on outdated programs that promise quick fixes and do not align to her values or who she is inside. She knows that it will take time to truly transform her limiting beliefs and build the courage to take action, and needs structure to help her do it.
She knows that reaching her authentic potential will help her to more effectively lead not only herself, but everyone she is responsible for in her life and career. She wants to show up with more motivation, energy and joy in her relationships.
She is ready to get unstuck, let go of perfectionism, and get out of the achievement trap that has created her status quo. She wants to take her life and career to the next level by clarifying her vision, creating the plan, and building the support she needs to grow into her authentic leadership potential.

You can email us at any time, and get access to ad hoc 15-min 1:1 meetings to get coaching as needed. We also provide a text channel where you can reach the full group and it is monitored by the Growth, Inc. team to provide real-time responses to questions.
Is there a way to keep in touch with the other participants outside of meetings?
Yes! You will naturally form connections throughout this program, but will also get a formal text channel to keep in touch with your small group and will have long-term access to this channel after the program ends.
What if this doesn’t work for me or something changes in my life and I need to pause?
It’s important to us that every participant of Leadership School finds incredible value in the program, so we ask for your candid feedback along the way so we can get you the support you need - and if you follow this process, we guarantee you will see results or will happily return your money. Although not ideal for the cohesion of the group to pause, we recognize that sometimes life creates situations we cannot control. You can pause if needed and re-join the next cohort if necessary.
