Foundations of Leadership Web Recap

Welcome to Burlesque for the Boardroom! Burlesque for the Boardroom helps bold, passionate women decision-makers build concrete leadership skills while celebrating the wild and glorified feminine. Discover what burlesque reveals about being a center stage boss in the boardroom, and how you can leverage your feminine power to lead.

I want to help you build influence and confidence. When I feel confident I’m more open to learning, more willing to take risks, and more likely to stand up for myself. When I’m not feeling confident I stink at navigating conflict, don’t want to take initiative, and prefer to stay curled up on my couch under a blanket.

According to Katty Kay of The Confidence Code, confidence matters more than competence. “Having confidence is taking action. We all want to do or try certain things but fear they are just beyond our reach and yet we worry about failing…The difference between a confident person and an unconfident person is simply that the confident person acts on their ambitions and desires and who doesn’t let that fear of failure stop them…confidence is life’s enabler—it is the quality that turns thoughts into action.”

I define confidence as my degree of certainty that a thought, feeling, desire, need, intuition, or prediction is true. It is also the degree to which I believe that my decisions and actions are effective and meaningful. I define self-confidence as the degree to which I trust myself. We each hold deeply ingrained stories that diminish our self-confidence and impede our ability to trust ourselves. When we can’t form high-trust relationships with ourselves, we can’t form high-trust and influential relationships with others. Burlesque for the Boardroom is here to help deconstruct internalized and social oppression women face, and ignite the feminine.

Below are 5 free lessons from my Feminine Leadership Workshops, and the Burlesque for the Boardroom Workbook.

Before you begin, here's a sneak peek into the backstory of how I started Burlesque for the Boardroom. This video is from my first pilot.

The entire workbook gives you a backstage pass into the exotic world of burlesque while helping you be a center stage boss in the boardroom. We cover:

Deepening your self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and tapping into your intuition;
Getting your points across, giving feedback, and releasing perfectionism;
Vulnerability as strength, showing up as your full authentic self, and enhancing your personal presence;
Setting boundaries, insisting on pleasure, and quieting your self-critic;
Asking for what you want, leveraging different decision-making styles, and receiving praise;
Being adaptive, rebounding from failure, embodying self-love, and maintaining self-respect.

Take a look at feminine leadership like you've never seen it before - through the lens of the glorified feminine, and through burlesque!
