Building resilient women who can
take on their world
The issues facing women and girls today are new, urgent and difficult. We’re changing the way schools & communities tackle them.
“Gave us clear, precise direction on how to handle various issues. The impact on our school has been transformative.”
Our girls and women continuously seek direction, tools and skills.

Makes it possible for me to keep charged topics open for safe discussions even with the most vulnerable students.
The ‘collapsing energy’ technique was an intriguing concept I implemented with great success.
I learned how to approach the student, how to guide the conversation. I cannot thank you enough for giving me the invaluable tools that I have gained that have made such a difference to me and to my students.
I’m telling everyone now that this training should be required; and not optional; for all teachers and principals.
What I love about the unique style of this program is the formula of awareness+Information+Inspiration. There is no limit to how far our students can go when we let them grow at their own pace and level!
The women's program has truly helped shape a way of living and thinking and has been an integral part of the education for our family in general.
The women's program has been a game changer for me and for so many. The book that we study helps generate open and honest discussion among the group and gives us the ability to be mindful and present in our daily lives.
The clarity, focus, the targeted and thought-out sessions, made the training so easy to listen to and absorb. I’ve used the approach and skills successfully, and implemented them in every aspect of our school. Thank you!
The presentation was thought out, professional, included lots of life experience and much humor. The series has given our team a common language and a forum to discuss oft avoided topics.
The technology curriculum changed the way I think about digital media, it made me realize how much the internet can affect my life.
The class really got me thinking and I gained a lot from the opportunity to participate in discussions and express my opinions.
