Strategic Vision
By finding their voice and purpose, we envision a world where women stop saying I'm sorry and start saying I'm unapologetically here. We strive to build a world where women in leadership is the norm.
Our Mission
To design programs that inspire people.
"What if we were transparent about our own failures, not as some kind of performative vulnerability, but as an invitation to collectively de-stigmatize the messy process of lifelong learning?"

ESA Model™
One of six ProspHER tools and the foundational tool in ProspHER training. E means to EMBRACE your struggles as struggles. S means to STRENGTHEN and A means to ACT.
EMBRACE
We need to acknowledge mistakes and failures as an important part of our learning process. Your struggles serve a purpose. Everything you go through is not a mistake, it serves a purpose.
STRENGTHEN
Everyone goes through struggles and disappointment. Turning your struggles into strengths means to change your thinking and move to a growth mindset. Once we strengthen our struggles they become phenomenal and no longer weigh us down or hold us back.
ACT
Without action behind them, goals are just words. Create goals that are attainable or bite-sized that support your path to climb the Staircase to Prosperity. Your SMART goals will guide you on your path to reach prosperity and what prosperity means to you.
