Discover your Strengths, Develop Key Skills and Build Confidence in Your Leadership

I support women shaping change across the social impact space

Women who are leading—or aspiring to lead—programs, teams, and ideas within international development, nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and other change-making institutions.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked in meetings, hesitant to share your ideas, or unsure how to assert your value without coming across as “too much” or “not enough,” you’re not alone. You might look confident on the outside—but inside, you’re questioning whether you really deserve that big promotion or wondering if you were the best choice to lead the new project. That imposter feeling has a way of creeping back in, no matter how much you’ve accomplished.

We have a complicated relationship with confidence—it’s not just about our skills, but also about our self-confidence: the belief that you belong in the rooms where decisions are made and that your voice has weight, even when things don’t go perfectly.

Our work together will give you the tools to step out of your comfort zone and aim for roles and projects that once felt out of reach—not because you're perfect but because you’re ready.

“We always know which is the best road to follow, but we follow only the road that we have become accustomed to.”

(Paolo Coelho – The Pilgrimage)
