This is for the woman who is already good at this.

You are senior, or close to it. Capable, accomplished, trusted with the difficult things. Nobody is questioning whether you can do the job.

And somewhere along the way you learned to read the room, manage up, soften the delivery and hit the target anyway. It worked. It is still working. That is exactly what makes it hard to stop.

The Path is not for women who need to be taught leadership. It is for women who are tired of paying for it in the currency of themselves.

The shape of it

What it is.


Twelve one-hour sessions

One a week, on Google Meet, booked by you.


A leadership diagnostic

Completed before the first session, so hour one isn’t spent on diagnosis.


Structured practice between sessions

Around thirty minutes a week.


Your own client hub

Workbooks, tracker, somatic practices, session notes and booking, in one place.


The Archetype Assessment

It starts with a straight answer about where you actually are.

Twenty-two questions across the six dimensions this work is built on.

Voice & Presence


What you say, and what happens to it on the way out.

Cognitive Clarity


The thinking underneath the hesitation.

Power Literacy


How decisions actually get made around you.

Somatic Intelligence


What your body does before you speak.

Visibility & Self-Advocacy


Whether the work is seen, and whether it is seen as yours.

Courage & Readiness


The gap between knowing and doing.

TRUTH-TELLER BRIDGE-BUILDER SYSTEM BREAKER STRATEGIC INSIDER

It returns a score, your primary leadership archetype and the growth edge that comes with it. None of the five is the right one to be — each is a set of real strengths with a matching blind spot, and knowing which one is yours changes what you work on first.

Twelve weeks, three phases

Reclaiming. Rising. Reckoning.


01
RECLAIMING

Weeks 1–4

Stabilize. Clarify. Take back internal authority.

Where your voice goes quiet, and what triggers it. What your body does in the ten minutes before you speak, and how to work with it rather than against it. How power actually moves in your organization, as opposed to how the org chart says it does. And saying one clear thing, once, without cushioning it.


02
RISING

Weeks 5–8

Expand voice, influence and strategic presence.

Awareness becomes action. Speaking with edge and dropping the qualifiers. Activating influence deliberately rather than waiting to be asked. Taking up space in a conversation without over-explaining your right to be in it.


03
RECKONING

Weeks 9–12

Lead as yourself, in the rooms that matter.

The work stops being private. You are no longer managing how you come across — you are shaping what happens. This is where the practice becomes the way you lead, and the plan you leave with is already in motion.

Between sessions

Thirty minutes a week, not a second job.

Every week follows the same shape, so it fits around a job that doesn’t slow down for it.

3–5 MIN

Reflect

Notice the pattern.

5 MIN

Write

Get the actual sentence down.

1–2 MIN EACH

Track

Log three moments as they happen.

IN THE ROOM

Practice

One deliberate change, in a real meeting.

YOURS ONLY

Archetype

One action specific to your archetype.

The practice is never homework for its own sake. It is one small thing, done in a real room, and then looked at properly the following week.

Outcomes

What’s different by week twelve.

You say it the first time.

No preamble, no “this might be a silly question”, no softening the concern until it sounds like agreement.

You catch the signal early.

The tightening before you speak becomes information you can use, rather than something that runs the room.

You have a record.

Twelve weeks of what you tried and what happened — the difference between feeling more confident and knowing you are.

You know where the power sits.

Who decides, who influences the decider, and which conversation to have before the meeting rather than during it.

You stop rehearsing conversations you never have.

The ones you have been carrying for months get said, and the world does not end.


In their words

From women on the Path.

I no longer believe there are situations I can’t handle.

Phoenix Leader Path client

I still get the feelings of pressure and discomfort, but now I know how to address them and reposition myself to show up stronger and more clear in meetings.

Phoenix Leader Path client

Understanding that I can change my thought patterns and learning how to do so was like a light switch going off in my head. I am no longer beholden to my old ways of thinking.

Who you’re working with

She isn’t coaching you from the outside.


Twenty-five years in corporate leadership, currently a Vice President at a defense-sector government contractor. She has run enterprise functions inside multi-billion-dollar organizations — and she is still inside one.

Which means she knows exactly what it costs to be the only woman in the room and still be the one holding the numbers.

It isn’t for everyone.

This works when you are prepared to try something in a real meeting and report back honestly on what happened. It does not work as reading.

And if you are looking for tactics to manage other people, this is the wrong program. The work here is on you — the rooms change as a result.

Getting started

Three steps.


01
Book a 20-minute call

No pitch. You describe what is happening; Nicki tells you honestly whether this is the right thing.


02
Sign, and complete the assessment

Twenty-two questions, done before session one so the first hour isn’t spent on diagnosis.


03
Book your twelve weeks

Your client hub goes live with your workbooks, your tracker and your booking link.

Questions

Before you book.

How long is it?

Twelve weeks — twelve one-hour sessions, one a week.

How much time does it take between sessions?

Around thirty minutes a week, structured so it fits around the job rather than competing with it.

Where do sessions happen?

On Google Meet, at a time you book yourself through your client hub.

What if I travel, or miss a week?

You book your own sessions, so you move them. The arc matters more than the calendar.

What do I actually get?

Twelve sessions, the Archetype Assessment, three phase workbooks, a habit tracker, somatic practices, and a client hub that holds all of it.

How much is it?

$5,000.


The Phoenix Leader Path

Reclaim what’s yours. Rise as proof. That’s the Reckoning.


You already have the capability. This is about what it costs you to use it — and how much of that cost is optional.
