We are trusted advisors who guide, challenge, and support you through your personal and professional blocks and ambitions in a series of one-on-one sessions and continuous support on your daily challenges.
HOW IT WORKS
This is not simply about performing better at work. We zoom out—above the noise of never-ending demands and opinions—to get a new perspective on your life and career. We roll up our sleeves and guide you through honest and profound conversations that uncover your unlived potential and challenge you with compassion.
WHO IT'S FOR
You are a senior-level leader who seeks a trusted advisor independent of your current employer or company—someone who can guide you through your career challenges and leadership ambitions.
She started to ask me all those nasty questions that were lurking at the back of my head. They help me to understand why I feel challenged or frustrated, and how to turn that around into learnings and steps forward to make me stronger. It made me more effective and efficient in my role so I can keep doing the work I like and I’m good at.”

Personal Board Retreat Portugal 2018
We curate a hand-selected group of six women from across sectors to serve as each other’s ongoing Personal Board of Directors.
HOW IT WORKS
Personal Boards are small, cross-sectoral groups of executive women peers, who meet regularly (virtually or in person) to are guided through a structured program to have brave conversations on the stickiest issues in work and life. You’ll inspire and be inspired. You’ll be stretched to your full potential and hone in on your most authentic leadership style. You’ll be held accountable to your dreams and support others in theirs.
WHO IT’S FOR
You are a senior level leader or business owner looking to connect with peers who understand the specific opportunities and challenges of being a woman and leader in business.
The Personal Board inspired creativity and courage and challenged me to dream bigger. Being in a group of such dynamic women committed to growing in self-awareness and working on leadership challenges in their own settings helped me better understand my own possibilities and potential. The synergy is transformational.”

FWX Expedition Amsterdam 2018
Global Expeditions are intensive, immersive 3.5-5 day experiences that go off the beaten path in locales around the world. We create powerful shifts to address your biggest challenges and design your future, and do the work to scale innovative, impact-focused and sustainable business solutions for the future, all the while having fun.
HOW IT WORKS
We take you out of your home city and daily routine to go beyond superficial conversations and get into the real work. You’ll meet new people and see new places that will help generate new perspectives. You gain real-time feedback and insights on your business and personal challenges from peers. You’ll engage with local corporate and entrepreneurial leaders to prototype and test your next level business and/or leadership proposition for the future. You’ll also receive personal coaching and participate in trusted dialogues to give you clarity, confidence, and tangible next steps for you to take home.
WHO IT'S FOR
You are a seasoned business leader - corporate, entrepreneurial or public sector - at a pivotal transition point in your career or business. You’re already “successful” but know that what got you here won’t take you to the next level. You need to break out of your daily drudgery or work bubble, invest in yourself, and build your tribe for this next phase.
To say that these days were transformational would be a dramatic understatement… I can't imagine another program (and I have participated in many!) that combines this level of personal and professional growth in such a short period of time.”

FOUNDER & CEO, WATERMELON ROAD
Pioneering Women Ghana 2017
We co-design custom programs with organizations and businesses to take a deep dive into the most critical issues affecting and important to women, uncover unforeseen perspectives, and design new solutions to address them.
HOW IT WORKS
We identify the “sticky issue” upon which we want to generate impact, then we co-design a program that brings together hand-selected women leaders from diverse backgrounds. Together they build a shared understanding, create a collective vision, and uncover opportunities for innovation.
WHO IT’S FOR
You are working in a multinational business or organization and realize you can play a critical role in elevating the voices and perspectives of women. You want to expand your influence and leadership to better meet women’s needs and gender equality for women. You yearn to come together with peers, partners, and organizations to innovate and create strong partnerships for change.
I thought I knew what I was doing, but I don’t. We must break the silos, go back to the drawing boards and make sure we do not miss out on the opportunity of financing female entrepreneurs.”
