Leadership growth isn’t about climbing faster.
The Leadership Navigation System helps you transform Leadership Friction into Sustainable Impact.
Indispensable Keystone Leaders face systemic friction that compromises mission-critical goals. This is an investment in Adaptive Leadership—converting the chaos of friction into strategic leverage that delivers measurable ROI and sustainable career longevity.
It’s about remembering who you are—beneath the burnout, beyond the badge—and finding the clarity to move forward on your own terms. Together we map the systems around you and chart how to navigate them authentically, with influence and impact.
These Leadership Navigation System experiences are built for underestimated women who’ve stopped feeling like themselves after role changes, burnout, or years of being told you’re too much and not enough all at once.
These experiences are structured into three distinct strategic tiers designed to match the scale of your challenge and investment: Individual Deep Dives, the measured Pilot Program, and the comprehensive Cohort Partnership.
The Leadership Navigation System
A Structured System for Strategic Mastery
Dragons are the instincts, fears, stories, dreams, and truths you were taught to override. You don’t need to slay them. You need to listen differently.
Every coaching container moves through four core spaces. Longer engagements will include more of the deliverables listed, and in greater depth.
- Map the System — Create a System Map and Friction Risk Assessment that makes invisible friction visible.
- Calibrate Your Compass — Shift focus inward, starting with the Leadership Circle Profile 360, Creative Compentency Mapping, and Personal Leadership Vision to interrupt reactive patterns and define an authentic Operating System of Me.
- Navigate with Intent — Move from insight to strategic action. Leaders practice skills and implement the Boundary Blueprint, Impact Logbook, Strategic Communication Plan, and other tools to reduce friction and build influence.
- Reshape the Environment — Leaders scale influence, build a Systemic Advocacy Proposal, Relationship Strategy, and plans to secure their long-term legacy within the organization.
- Leadership Circle Profile 360 — The LCP 360 provides the objective data to diagnose the root causes of reactive tendencies, ensuring your investment is based on a structured, data-driven plan for accelerated growth. This is included with Enterprise packages and optional for individual buyers.

Best for: Women and non-binary leaders at a crossroads, or executives seeking targeted 1:1 support.
Strategic Enterprise Partnership: Cohort Programs
Executive Leadership Clarity & Strategic Integration
Timeline: 6-18 Months
Your most powerful leaders are often the ones carrying invisible weight—navigating bias, complexity, and pressure with little space for reflection or renewal.
They’re not underperforming. They’re overextending. And they’re too valuable to burn out or lose.
The Leadership Navigation System is a strategic 12-month engagement designed for high-impact, values-aligned leaders your company wants to retain, promote, and support—whether they manage people or lead through influence.
✨ They’ll Walk Away With:
- A grounded leadership identity aligned with values and metrics
- The clarity and language to influence across functions and levels
- Practices to lead without shrinking or burning out
- A personalized operating system for resilient, sustainable leadership
Includes:
- Leadership Circle Profile™ 360 Assessment
- Every other week executive coaching sessions
- Leadership Navigation System to update their “Operating System of Me” – a living guide to impactful strategic influence
- Realtime Strategic Support between sessions
- Optional stakeholder insight & HR collaboration
- Custom reporting or team alignment options upon request
👉 This is for organizations investing in strategic, inclusive leadership—not just in the C-suite.
It’s for leaders who hold vision, values, and tension—and who deserve support that’s as deep as the work they do.
Best for: Organizations committed to lasting culture shift and mitigating talent retention risk across their leadership bench.
