This program gave me the roadmap on what in the world to actually do so that I would get recognized and approached.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

WOMEN +/or QUEER/TRANS FOLKS WHO

  • Want to cash in on your wisdom/experience, yet need a roadmap.

  • Feel a touch jealous of peers getting consulting/speaking/paid opportunities. (Or wonder how they did it.)

  • Want more confidence sharing your story + work.

  • Yearn for more traction for your name / work / cause.

  • Crave the power of a hype squad to keep you going.

  • Are overwhelmed (or underwhelmed lol) by the social media jungle.

  • Secretly dream of being "someone people turn to."

  • Are ready to kick imposter syndrome to the curb.

  • Seek a gentle push towards your goals.

STILL NOT SURE IF THIS IS FOR YOU?

Businesswoman

We are not all meant to be influencers!

Or flashy public speakers! Or experts on 250 page reports! Or feminist street artists.

what TYPE are YOU ?

Someone more "behind the scenes"?

Someone too easily overlooked?

I STARTED THIS PROGRAM

BECAUSE I WAS SICK OF

marginalized people GETTING OVERLOOKED. 

Specifically, I was pissed off at seeing

  • leaders + founders being mostly pale/male,

  • women and lbgtqais being made to feel too unready to lead/start things

  • men getting selected 10x more often for (paid) keynote talks and quoted 80% of the time in the news,
  • queer/trans folks being overlooked (except on LBGTQAI+ topics)

Main Page (2).png

FROM FEMILY:

Once I became known as a thought leader, it became

MUCH easier to attract 

  • corporate + individual clients

  • paid speaking gigs

  • the kind of media attention I craved

  • respect + INVITES from those in my field

Quietly freaking out about your future?

 

You’re not alone.

(And you don’t have to stay stuck—or keep waiting for opportunities.)

→ In 7 weeks, Future Thought Leader gives you a clear plan, smart structure, and a reputation-building project that puts you back in control.

No corny social posts.

No fluffy self-promo.

 

Just you getting seen for the good work you've already been doing. On your terms.

Beach Portrait

What doesn’t work:
Waiting until you're "ready" (the patriarchy will never let us feel ready).

Being on more than 2 socials.

Waiting to be discovered.

Doing it alone.

What does:

Respecting your energy, your industry, and this (scary) moment.

Making/launching something concrete (a talk series, a checklist, a newsletter, an industry org, a local change campaign) so people can trust you via what you’re building.

Saying yes - when it's a little scary. (And no when it's TOO scary).
Using your platform to inspire change.
Rising with others.

THE FEMILY  program PROMISE

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE "HOW"

We'll help you figure that out in the program. 

From starting your podcast/newsletter, to getting more journalists to interview you, to getting asked to do paid speaking gigs.

SIMPLE EASE. My goal is for you to find one platform for your voice/ideas that energizes you. Not multiple platforms. If factual white papers are your thing, maybe skip Instagram. If drawing political comics lights up your cozy introversion, do that instead of stage speeches.

IMPERFECT BABYSTEPS in ACTION.

Get moving in the right direction. (And don't listen to anyone who promises you immediate fame.)

COLLABORATION OVER COMPETITION. Bonus points for lifting each other up, inviting each other onto a podcast, sharing the spotlights.

Cohorts have always been at least half POC +  QUEER/trans and lots of folks who are both. :) ​​

NO MEAN GIRLS (of any gender). ​

NON-BINARY pals: OF COURSE welcome. all names + pronouns welcome!

NO ROOM FOR WHITE FRAGILITY.​

​(I assist white+ pals offline with race questions- to preserve the airtime and energy of BIPOC.)

INTROVERT-HONORING MEETINGS. (There's a silent camera's off breakout for those who want to be silent/mute/self-directed in class that day.) ​
