AWARE Women's Leadership Program
The purpose of the AWARE Women’s Leadership Program is to Advance Women to be Authentic, Resilient, and Empathic (AWARE) leaders. There are two versions of the AWARE program ~ one that is designed to be offered internally in partnership with an organization and one that is offered independently for women who wish to invest in their own development. The program, built on best practices research in women's leadership development, provides valuable education, peer networking and accountability, and one-on-one leadership coaching.
As a result of participating in this program, women will:
Identify and embrace their Authentic leadership identity and purpose
Become more Resilient through receiving 360 feedback, enhancing their leadership networks, and applying important leadership skills
Increase their capacity for Empathic leadership by becoming aware of their own and others' emotional landscapes

Lumina spark
A Customized Lumina Spark Workshop
Build a more effective team by understanding differences in how each team member engages four different personality archetypes: commanding, inspiring, empowering, and conscientious. Built on Carl Jung's archetype model and Big 5 personality theory, the Spark measures four archetypes, eight aspects, and 24 behavioral qualities associated with your personality. Additionally, you will discover how your underlying, everyday, and overextended personas show up (or don't!) in your work environment. During the Lumina Spark workshop, you will identify your own strengths and growth areas and create a growth plan. Your team will learn the value of diversity by considering how they can capitalize on the strengths of each individual. This video includes a few clips from a customized Lumina Spark Workshop.
Lumina leader
The Lumina Leader measures four distinct styles of leadership ~ leading with vision, leading with drive, leading to deliver, and leading through people. Each of these leadership domains is supported by four leadership qualities. Learn about your dominant leadership domain and the leadership behaviors you display when you're at your best and when you're under stress. The assessment can be completed as a self-assessment or, for an even more comprehensive portrait of your leadership style, as a 360 with feedback from supervisors, peers, and direct reports. During the Lumina Leader workshop, I work with leaders to identify their leadership strengths and growth areas; to build a leadership development plan; and to increase appreciation for the necessity of diverse leadership styles in their organization.
Lumina emotion
The Lumina Emotion is a personalized emotional intelligence assessment of eight emotional sparks and reactors as well as 16 emotional qualities. Your results will provide you with a snapshot of your overall effectiveness at Being Self-Aware, Being Aware of Others, Managing Emotions, and Taking Meaningful Action. You will gain understanding of your inner thoughts, feelings, and preferences, your patterns of everyday behavior as influenced by your emotional intelligence, and possible emotional derailers. In the Lumina Emotion workshop, you will explore your emotional strengths and weak spots; explore your emotional flexibility; and learn how to more effectively use your emotions to guide you in solving problems and overcoming challenges.
The Neuroscience of healthy relationships
This three-session training program helps participants become more effective leaders by providing an overview of how our brains work in relationship to each other.
Session 1: The Relational Brain
Session 2: Memory and Relationships
Session 3: Neuroscience and the Life of Your Organization
Grit and resilience in the workplace
Are you a gritty person? Do you embrace risks and challenges as an opportunity to learn, or do you try to avoid failure at all costs? In this workshop, we will identify the mental, emotional, and behavioral characteristics of grit and resilience and learn strategies for developing grit, courage, and resilience in your personal and professional life.
Systems-sensitive leadership
What comes first, the chicken or the egg? If your response to this question goes along the lines of, "Well, the chicken and the egg are mutually influential, and it's impossible to identify a deterministic starting point. You also have to consider the role of evolution, whether natural or artificial insemination was used, and the role of proteins and molecular processes...," then you are likely already a systems thinker! In this workshop, we'll examine the differences between traditional linear thinking and problem-solving and systems thinking. We'll also discuss strategies for strengthening your systems thinking and begin to apply them to your leadership context.
Powerful Storytelling: Using Storytelling to Drive Strategic Results
Storytelling has been identified as an essential leadership skill in all types of businesses - from nonprofit organizations to high-tech companies. Research indicates that storytelling yields a significant return on investment, both for the leader personally and for the achievement of business goals. During this workshop, participants will learn about why storytelling is a compelling way to structure presentations; how to select the most powerful story/presentation content based on the presenter’s goal and the audience’s needs and desires; how to use frameworks such as Minto’s Pyramid and the Hero’s Journey to structure presentations; and how to effectively communicate with an audience, both verbally and nonverbally. The content of this workshop can be covered in one day. If your organization would like participants to apply what they learn through presenting a story to the group and receiving feedback, adding an extra half-day or full day is recommended, depending on the size of your group.
