"The community of women that I longed for…women who are truthful in their response and feedback, loving and open regarding their personal growth process."

We design strategies to create positive change and give voice to our biggest visions. We encourage each other to grow as authentic leaders. We are women with an inspiring and pragmatic relationship with our feminine wisdom, concerned with sensible results for ourselves, our companies, communities, and the world. We look forward to getting to know you and welcoming you into the circle.

"Feeling the support of this circle of women propelled me into finishing things on my list that had been waiting for my attention for months and years. I discovered how to accomplish all that I intended, but in a new way. By the end of the program I was carried by a way of being that led me deeper into myself and supported me to trust the deep spaces of my feminine self. It was also clear to me that I was not the only one in the group having this experience."

"Feminine wisdom means trusting my instincts, gently saying what I actually see, cutting to the chase faster, and feeling more positive assurance inside. As a result, I do less and produce bigger results. I used to over-function and make things happen by sheer force. I'm learning to surrender into an emerging flow and rely on others more. Rather than leading from control and drive, I am more patient and compassionate and surprisingly my leadership is more powerful."

When she signed up for the Next Octave Women's Leadership Program in the fall of 2010 she had no idea what feminine wisdom meant - she just knew deep inside that it was time to find out.
