We invite you to embark on this results-driven journey of growth and mastery. Together, we’ll redefine what it means to lead with authenticity, precision, and influence—positioning you to thrive and lead with impact in corporate, political, entrepreneurial, and social sectors.
An Innovative Experiment
When we first envisioned Women Igniting Leadership, we sought to uncover a way to cultivate skills that often seem intangible - yet we know are vital:
Staying grounded under intense pressure
Remaining strategic amidst chaos
Recognizing and addressing systemic patterns rather than just surface-level symptoms.
The first edition of the Lab is the manifestation of this vision: a bold pilot and an innovative experiment. It is built on the belief that a talented, thoughtful group of women leaders and leadership educators can co-create a transformative experience.
One that serves as a crucible, igniting leadership in new ways.
YOUR LEADERSHIP JOURNEY
Start where you need the most traction - each piece is a powerful standalone. But together, they create a leadership foundation that’s as deep as it is actionable.

What we believe
These three components of a leadership journey are designed to build the mindset, skillset, and support system required for effective leadership in high-stakes moments. Each one offers a distinct entry point, and together they create a powerful arc of development. You can start with any session based on your immediate leadership needs—the full journey is flexible by design.
1. Strategic Insight
Whether you begin with Foundations of Strategic Leadership (formerly Get on the Balcony), you'll gain the perspective and tools to diagnose what’s really going on in complex systems. This helps you move beyond surface-level symptoms and make more intentional, adaptive choices.
2. Personal Mastery
In Manage Yourself, you'll take a deeper look at your own patterns and leadership style. This is where frameworks come alive in real-time, supported by coaching and consultation. Whether you've already gained strategic insight or are discovering it along the way, this module strengthens your ability to lead with clarity and composure.
3. Presence Under Pressure
Skills for High-Stakes Moments equips you with the practical tools to show up powerfully when the stakes are high—whether in a boardroom, a crisis, or a negotiation. Whether you've already built your strategic lens or are still refining your personal style, this module helps translate insight into visible, influential action.
