Leadership on your terms
You have built an impressive career. You know what you can do and have proven your worth. Yet you notice that something is chafing. You long for more – not more work, but more fulfillment, influence and leadership on your terms.
Many women leaders adapt to existing structures without being fully aware of their own strengths. You don’t have to work harder or fight to be seen. It’s time to take your place without compromising who you are.
I help experienced, ambitious women like you deepen their leadership, stay authentic and thrive – in their work and in their lives.

THE WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
I have been waiting for you. And I’m sure I’m not the only one. There are many men, women and children with me waiting. Waiting for your leadership. Your influence. Your power. Because how strong you are and how much you have to give!
That’s exáctly what The Women’s Leadership Program is about. It is a leadership journey in which you learn to embrace your feminine power and use it in your leadership. In which you learn to rise above the pressure of your environment and above your own imposed pressure. Because do you know who will appear? That radiant woman, who lifts the world around her to a higher level with her love and leadership.
Your impact grows as you grow. This program helps you break through barriers, release limiting beliefs and be an authentic leader – without compromising your values and vision.

D&I POLICY THAT DOES WORK
RESEARCH CARLA CLARISSA & MOTIVACTION
With all the crises we have to deal with together and all the talent we need, diversity should by now be a strategic theme in every organization. If you succeed in retaining and advancing the women who currently work for you, it also makes sense to attract new women.
Our research shows that there is still much to be gained in the area of gender diversity.

You have everything you need to make a difference. Now it’s time to take your leadership to the next level.
