As I worked to apply the lessons learned from the book in my own life, I found that I was pulling from my knowledge of my Strengths to help me figure out how to make these tweaks in a way that was authentic to me. And as I was coaching other women, we leveraged their CliftonStrengths reports for unique insights to help them identify strategies to enhance their personal effectiveness with ease, excellence, and enjoyment. And it hit me. What if we created a program that combined a deep level of self-awareness that comes from CliftonStrengths coaching with an understanding of the behaviors from How Women Rise? And what if we could create a community of women who would lift each other up and help each other thrive? How powerful could that be?!

From that, Rise & Thrive was born! This is my passion project that's been on my heart for some time and has finally come to fruition. And I couldn't be more thrilled!

I created this program to help professional women like you get out of their own way and develop a greater appreciation of the unique talents you bring to the world. You should definitely join us if:

• You want to discover your strengths AND, perhaps more importantly, how to apply them in your life.

• You want to break through self-imposed barriers and finally get out of your own way.

• You want to create change that sticks.

• You want to find a community of like-minded women who you can turn to as you work to be even more effective.

If any of that sounds like you, check out the information below about Rise & Thrive.
I hope you'll join the journey with us!

Hi there!

Several years ago, I first read the book How Women Rise by Sally Helgesen and Marshall Goldsmith. It blew me away. I vividly remember thinking to myself as I was reading it "This is gold. I wish I'd had this sooner!" That thought was closely followed by "Every woman needs to read this." Because I know that, just like me, so many women are blissfully unaware that the same behaviors that have contributed to their success over time are likely the EXACT SAME BEHAVIORS that are keeping them from getting to the next level. Since that time, I have recommended the book to just about every woman I've spoken to for more than 10 minutes! (Seriously, not kidding on that one - it comes up A LOT!)

Session 4: Habits That Keep Women from Reaching Their Goals

You'll identify your top derailers and we will discuss strategies to overcome them.

We'll revisit your CliftonStrengths and how they may help (or hinder) your derailers, then begin action planning for future success.

You'll create your daily questions for personal accountability and we'll complete a program wrap-up.

A few more details...

We'll meet via Zoom for 2-hour sessions each month over the course of 6 months.

In addition to the live sessions, you will be paired with an accountability partner to meet with between each session. These partners will help you create your action plan, crystalize your insights, and cheer you on!

I can't wait for you to join this journey and spend some time investing in YOURSELF!
