Course overview

Step into visibility, influence, and impact with authenticity

Navigating corporate and mission-driven environments as a woman can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re kind, empathetic, spiritual, or introverted.


These traits, often undervalued in traditional leadership, can make it feel like you have to compromise your authentic self—or your well-being—to advance.


You know you have the skills to excel, yet stepping into higher-visibility roles, influencing decisions, or being recognized for your impact can feel challenging. Self-doubt creeps in, with a loud, critical inner voice questioning every move. Perhaps you’ve even created a work persona that feels very different from who you are at home. Networking events leave you drained, and much of the standard career advice feels irrelevant.


That’s because no one ever taught us how to advance our careers as women while staying true to ourselves—without imitating men.


This program is designed to help you increase your impact, communicate with influence, and gain recognition—authentically.


What you’ll learn:

- Make yourself and your work visible in ways that feel natural

- Influence stakeholders and gain buy-in for your ideas

- Lead high-impact projects without compromising your values

- Strengthen strategic communication to accelerate your career

- Maintain sustainable performance while avoiding burnout


Program features:

- Live interactive workshops with all sessions recorded for lifetime access

- Hands-on exercises to embed skills in real time with real-case scenarios

- Proven frameworks and strategies for effective communication and influence

- Peer feedback and collaboration for richer learning

- Optional Q&A sessions for personalized guidance



Who will benefit most:

This program is ideal for mid-career women who:

- Want to lead authentically while increasing visibility and influence

- Are ambitious ICs or managers seeking promotions or leadership opportunities

- Desire to strengthen strategic communication and make their contributions recognized

- Want to grow their careers without sacrificing well-being or authenticity


Who this is not for:

- Those looking for 1:1 coaching—this is a group experience for learning alongside peers

- Those who believe there’s nothing left to learn about influence, visibility, or communication

- Those seeking step-by-step instructions for every scenario—this program builds judgment, intuition, and confidence

- Those expecting instant mastery—real growth takes time, practice, and reflection

02

Isabel Fonseca

ICF-certified Career & Leadership Coach with 13+ years of corporate experience

Navigating corporate spaces as a woman who’s sweet, kind, spiritual, and introverted hasn’t always been easy. I know what it’s like to feel like you have to hide parts of yourself to fit into a world made by and for men.

But I believe we don’t have to sacrifice who we are to lead—and we need new role models who show a different way.

My mission is to help women step into leadership confidently and authentically, without compromising their well-being or values.

I’ve seen incredible transformations in the women I work with—from mindset shifts to promotions and opportunities they never imagined. Most importantly, they rediscover fulfillment and empowerment in their careers.

This is what drives me every day.
