Leadership Coaching for Women

Why female-specific leadership coaching?

In 2023 the Prime Minister of New Zealand stepped down stating, "I've got no gas left in the tank".

As the world's youngest female head of government when she was elected in 2017 at age 37, Jacinda seemed to be at the height of her career when she stepped aside.

And she's not the only one. There's a mass exodus of women from leadership and the workforce.

In our push for women in the workforce, we forgot one MAJOR thing:

Women aren't small men and the corporate setting wasn’t designed for female biology.

Instead of women thriving in leadership and helping companies operate through the gifts of feminine design, we have had to suppress exactly what makes us unique and it's led to women exiting stage left, battered, and burnt out.

Women are not being supported to thrive in most professional and leadership roles because we built much of our society (structures, processes, health and wellness systems) from data and research done on men.

So when we study men, we understand them, learn how they operate, and give them resources to succeed. (This is NOT a diss to men, check out my post on "It's not the patriarchy" if you're unclear on my stance. Men are amazing.)

According to GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) globally, women were more likely than men to be solopreneurs. And no wonder - a woman who owns her own business can create whatever she needs to suit her biology, and to honor the different ways she operates. She can build in flexibility so she can also be a mother, she can lean into the gifts that come with being a woman like the ability to plan for longevity, her natural affinity to connect and collaborate, her way of creating sustainability by moving through different seasons of her business, and planning for each, instead of seeking a perpetual summer.

She can allow herself space to rest when it's needed. She can work from home so she can also tend to little ones. She can create a business system that allows her to fluctuate with her hormones instead of require her to show up exactly the same day in and day out.

Ultimately the entrepreneurial path for many women tells her she can.

While the corporate world tells her she can't.

So as a business owner, it is not only a good idea to support your female employees - it’s a must do if you want the women in your business to thrive.

Because what happens when women thrive in the workplace?

The business thrives. Your team thrives. Communities strengthen. Your bottom line increases. Your customers and clients are better supported.

Most women I speak to are burnt out with no gas left in the tank. They are dealing with some form of adrenal fatigue or autoimmune disease and their mental health is taking a dive. And they're disappointed that the promise of opportunity and success has left them sick and stumbling around trying to find a solution.

I hear almost daily how women feel like they have to sacrifice something no matter which way they cut it - they can either keep their family, or their business, or their health. And if this is you, I want to encourage you...that's not how it has to be.

When you work with female biology you tap into the perfect blueprint for a thriving business.

When you honor the feminine in the workplace, you bring a new level of creativity, collaboration, and insight that the masculine-driven, linear work environment often misses.

Additionally, all leadership coaching clients receive access to my self-paced course, Cycle Sync For Life, so they can deepen their own understanding of their amazing biology in tandem with our coaching sessions.
