Start claiming your space as the Bright Light Leader you are

An Enneagram-based leadership programme for women who are ready to step fully into the arena of what’s possible

This programme was born out of my own frustration at watching countless brilliant women in leadership positions still wondering when they’re going to be “found out”, still cautious of rocking the boat or taking up too much space…

And still holding back from owning their own power.

A lot of this is based on embedded systemic conditioning. Even for those of us who’ve had strong female role models and haven’t experienced the negative impact of being a woman in business, the subtle impact is still there. It’s unconscious. And it goes deep:

  • We learn to place other people’s comforts ahead of our own rather than speaking up for our own needs.

  • We back down from asserting ourselves or standing up for want we want or desire.

  • We become afraid of our own power because the few times we’ve tried to express it we’ve been called ‘difficult’, ‘emotional’ or ‘offensive’.

Bright Light Leaders is for women who are ready to break this pattern and start living into their full potential

It’s about:

  1. Getting to know, trust and back yourself so that self-compromise is no longer an option.

  2. Learning to advocate for your own needs and confidently express them.

  3. And it’s about living from an integrated and empowered place, role-modeling healthy self-leadership for the bright young women around you.

This programme might be for you if:

  • 1. Have a strong inner critic that points out your flaws

    You’re intolerant of your mistakes and tend to point out where you could be doing “better”

  • 2. Don’t feel confident in claiming your own style of leadership

    You often try to adapt yourself to the people and culture you’re surrounded by

  • 3. Feel frustrated when you give your power away (again)

    You take on too much, say yes when you mean no or keep quiet to keep the peace

  • 4. Don’t know how to access, trust, or listen to your inner knowing

    You might know what it feels like, but you still second guess and override its messag

  • 5. Struggle with holding people accountable

    You find boundaries and difficult conversations challenging, worried about the impact on others

  • 6. Don't feel comfortable in the spotlight

    You squirm at the idea of making yourself more visible, but if you want to grow, you know you need to

And if you’re seeking that elusive “balance” where you feel inspired, challenged and growing, but without feeling like you’re constantly on the edge of burnout

Watch the intro video here:

This programme will help you:

  1. Get clear on your needs, wants and boundaries and feel fully empowered to express them.

  2. Identify your unique leadership style so you can lead in a way that that’s true to who you are rather than who you think you should be.

  3. Start having the conversations you’ve been avoiding so you can build trusting and mutually respectful relationships.

  4. Learn to take back your power so you can confidently and unapologetically advocate for yourself.

  5. Access your inner authority so you can trust yourself as the expert on your own life.

  6. Recognise your inherent gifts and how you can leverage them for greater impact and more ease.

  7. Listen to your head, heart and gut wisdom so you’re making decisions from a balanced and integrated perspective.

  • Louise Duys-Walker

    “The Enneagram as a tool is amazing and Jess’ intuition and nuanced approach brought it to life. Her gentle, probing approach helped me go deeper for even better understanding and greater insights. The awareness has shown me how I can handle things differently to make decisions and drive action and I feel so much more empowered!”

  • C&C Member 2020

    “Jess always shows up with openness and honesty. Always intuitive and so “wholesome”, compassionate, she draws on every aspect of coaching and wellness to bring out the best version of ourselves . She always gets us to drill deep down into layers that we unconsciously may have even hidden away, but does so in a non-intrusive style.”

  • Deborah Good

    “Jess uses a very multi-layered approach. I love that she uses all her various trainings to offer a really skilled, integrated and multi-faceted approach to insight creation and awareness. I love looking at my blindspots and she is very willing to go there – and go deep, so I get so much from every single session”

Common questions

  • No problem, I know life happens. Please do try attend as many as you can as the live interaction is part of the benefit of the programme. If, however, you can’t attend for any reason, the full recording will be made available to the group’s Dropbox folder within 24 hours. Please note that to protect the privacy of the participants, this recording cannot be circulated beyond the group.

  • As much or as little as feels right for you. The programme is designed to give you plenty of community and peer support along the way. The Slack group is there to interact with fellow participants. It’s also the place to ask questions and where I will share additional resources or material relevant to each module. You also have the option of peer support in the form of an additional short session with a fellow participant you’ll be paired up with for the duration of the programme. And finally, you have the option of 2 x private 1:1 coaching with me, to be used at any stage over the 6 months of the programme.

  • There’s no such thing in this programme. Part of what we’re learning is to honour our own capacity. This means not giving ourselves a hard time if we aren’t keeping up. The material is always available to you to go through at a time that works for you. And if you miss a session, just join in the next one.

  • There is a downloadable pdf for you to motivate for company funding. However, this is entirely at the discretion of your employer so I cannot guarantee this.

  • Yes. Standard coaching sessions are $200 per hour. Contact me should you need financial support.

  • The programme is a full 6-month commitment so please think carefully before signing up. If you decide this isn’t for you, you’re entitled to a full money-back refund within the first 7 days of the programme. Thereafter, refunds will be managed on a case-by-case basis. If you are dissatisfied with the course, please email me and we can start a conversation.
