What Women RISE Together Is
Women RISE Together translates established research in women’s leadership and Social-Emotional Intelligence into practical, usable skills women can apply immediately. The program is designed for women who carry high responsibility and are navigating complex expectations in today’s workplace.
This is structured, skill-based learning focused on how women actually experience work, built around named, teachable frameworks you will use long after the program ends: the Capacity Jar, a practical model for protecting your energy and saying yes with intention, and Notice, Name, Nudge, a three-step practice for interrupting the patterns that run you.
Real talk. Real tools. Real change.
Program includes wellness practice with Ali McCall, of My Body, Be Well, because the body carries what the system hands you.
Why Women RISE Together Matters
Research consistently shows that women are highly capable and effective, yet more likely to experience sustained pressure, burnout, and internalized stress. These challenges are rarely the result of ability.
Women RISE Together addresses the real gap: a lack of language, support, and practical tools designed for how women navigate communication, expectations, and emotional labor at work. The program helps women understand these dynamics clearly and respond more intentionally rather than automatically.
The Four Weeks
Four Wednesday evenings this October. Four sessions built to move together, and to move you together with the women in the room.
Week 1 · Who You Are, How You Show Up. Your power, your values, your identity. Presence, communication, and language that carries your power instead of leaking it. An honest introduction to the system you are navigating.
Week 2 · What You Are Up Against. The system session. The double bind, invisible labor, and the Capacity Jar, named in full.
Week 3 · How You Come Back. Resilience redefined as returning to yourself. Boundaries and saying yes with intention.
Week 4 · Who You Are Becoming, What You Are Building. Integration, community, celebration. Legacy, vision, influence, and lifting other women as you rise. You will not leave this room the way you entered it.
From Our Graduates
“I felt very comfortable opening up and feeling accepted. The other women in class as well as the instructors all had great energy and like minds.”
“My jar finally has marbles in it.”
One graduate keeps her marble jar on her desk, in eyesight, and keeps filling it. Another took the invisible labor inventory she made in our room home to her family, and now they share the load together.
