Reaching the Summit: Forging Your Powerful Legacy as a Woman of Color Leader

You've risen through the ranks, breaking barriers and setting new standards. As a senior woman of color executive, you've achieved what many thought impossible. Yet, you know there's still a higher peak to conquer.

Your sights are set on joining the ranks of those transformative leaders who've become household names, whose decisions shape industries, and whose influence extends far beyond their own companies. It's not just about another title; it's about wielding influence that reshapes industries and leaves an indelible mark on the world and generations to come.

The Challenge: Unspoken Burdens of Leaders at Your Level

If what keeps you up at night includes:

  • The weight of being the "only" or the "first" in countless situations

  • The persistent barriers and microaggressions that don't disappear, even if you’re so used to them you don’t even perceive them anymore

  • The struggle to chart a course when you've long outgrown the traditional career ladder

  • The active resistance from those threatened by your ascent

  • The delicate balance between authenticity and the expectations of executive presence

  • The growing distance between you and your roots – family, friends, community – as you rise higher, leading to a profound sense of isolation

You're not alone. Even though you may find that your continued and increasing success sets you further and further apart from those you hold dear. The isolation can be one of the heaviest burdens of leadership.

A Testament to Transformation

  • “Before the VIP Day with Cynthia, I was feeling excited to have time blocked off to dive into some areas that will help raise my profile, but I just wasn't sure how it would all come together. In the end, it sure did come together. I mapped out blog topics, my elevator speech, social media post topics, people to connect with, and three unifying themes. I'm glad that I was able to make a plan to meet my goals.”

    – Jasmine T.

  • “Cynthia's unwavering dedication to advocating for women of color is AMAZING, and her understanding of our daily micro-aggressions sets her apart. Through her coaching, I found a sanctuary — a brave and nurturing environment where I could freely express my vulnerabilities, self-doubt, and fears. I rediscovered my voice, strengths, and capabilities, ultimately leading to securing my current position as an Executive Director.”

    – Lovisa B.

  • “The most valuable part of the VIP Day was having an expert WOC leader who has built a business from the ground up share their expertise, stories, thought, and insights into the mechanics of making myself and my business visible. I feel like I have form to my business and I've been able to really see the mechanics of building my business.”

    – Esther L.
