“Stepping Into Her Power” Series
This page is your go-to space for all things related to our journey together. You’ll find program updates, resources, exercise/homework suggestions, and the participant roster, (more on this below).

☑️ Meeting Expectations
Please review the meeting expectations below. At the first session, you will be asked if you have reviewed the information and are committed to upholding it.
📋 Participant Roster
I want you to meet one another with fresh eyes and open hearts — without the urge to prep, research, or assume. So, please don’t. There’s real value in stepping into the unknown and trusting yourself to connect authentically, without needing all the details up front. If possible, faces only 😉.
We’ll begin by experiencing each other as we are, in real time — and the names and details will follow soon enough.
📋🎥🎙️📒 Session: Recordings, Resources, Homework, and Notes
This section will be updated weekly with the session recording link, homework assignment, and session notes (if any).
Please refresh your page within (approximately) 48 hours of each session. Certain links might require you copy and paste into a new browser. Regarding the recordings—please to not share with others outside of the prorgram—each person’s story/situation is private, and the information is proprietary.
☑️ Meeting Expectations
Maintain confidentiality — What’s shared in this space, stays in this space(!!!). Trust is foundational to this work.
Be open and courageous — Vulnerability is welcomed. Show up as your full, imperfect, powerful self!
Contribute - Ideally each person contributes a thought or a response at each session. This is good for everyone!
Be on time — Sessions start at 3:00 a.m. EST and your presence matters.
Be consistent — The value of this experience grows with your shared commitment over time.
Commitment to staying current — If you do miss a session, you are committed to stay current and review the recording by the next session.
Honor the group — If you can’t attend, please send a message to your collective peers (contact info will be shared)
Be present — Minimize distractions, close other tabs, and treat this as protected time.
Engage thoughtfully — Listen fully, speak authentically, and support one another with care (please no email while waiting your turn!)
Withhold judgment — We’re all in different places in our leadership journey. Assume best intentions and embrace curiosity.
Be mindful — When it is your turn, please be mindful of the suggested time allotment, giving your fellow participants an opportunity to participate.
Stay open — New insights, perspectives, and ways of leading may stretch you. That’s part of the process.
Keep the momentum going — Take time between sessions to reflect and/or journal, try on new insights, engage in homework suggestions, and revisit the questions that challenge or inspire you.
We’re building something powerful together — and while we hold each other to these expectations, we also hold space for grace, knowing that life happens.

In this podcast with Emily—MML Manager, 16/50 Project program caretaker, and former Miss Michigan—she talks about Empowerment, Leadership, and our favorite development program! Fun convo!!
This experience is designed to reconnect you to your core power—to expand the way you lead, communicate, and grow.
You’ve been doing important work. You care deeply about your community and the people you serve. Now is the time to focus on you—your leadership, your voice, your presence, your growth.
The LeadHERship Coaching Collective: Stepping Into Her Power is a 4-month leadership development experience designed specifically for women in municipal government, grounded in the transformative ideas from The Light Switch, providing a framework for accessing personal power. This journey isn’t about “turning on” your power—it’s about switching the source. From this place you lead with more clarity, intention, and self-trust.
This is where you begin.
Reclaim your voice.
Own your presence.
Lead with authenticity and purpose.
You’ll learn how to:
Lead with a renewed sense of self
Communicate with purpose and presence, not just position
Learn to approach interactions from a new vantage point, giving you newfound capability and awareness
Navigate people dynamics with confidence and self-trust
Let go of the baggage and show up authentically
Learn management and leadership best practices
Discover YOU, and what you’re capable of
This is foundational work. And you won’t do it alone. You’ll be supported by a professional executive coach, and surrounded by women who share your commitment to public service and personal growth.
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way to lead”—you’re right.
It starts here.
“Your power isn’t something outside of you. It’s already within. This work is about drawing it out—and leading from that place.”
We’ll dig into the topics that matter most to your growth, including:
What a strong and grounded YOU looks like and how it applies to your leadership
How to communicate clearly—no over-explaining or holding back
Learning a new game-changing communication tool
Navigating the in’s and out’s of feminine and masculine energy
Letting go of the top habits that keep women stuck or small
Tapping into your inner power—the kind that’s already within you—and learning how to lead from that place
Lead Beyond Barriers
