• As a UK Guide for Chief, I facilitated high-impact peer groups of senior women leaders, creating transformational spaces for connection, reflection, and leadership growth.
• Chief’s mission is to drive more women into positions of power and keep them there, and as a Guide, I was part of bringing that mission to life through its flagship Core experience.
• Each month, I facilitated confidential peer group sessions designed to help C-suite and senior leaders navigate complex leadership challenges, strengthen self-awareness, and amplify their impact.
• My role centred on cultivating psychological safety, candour, and accountability within diverse groups, enabling members to uncover blind spots, build resilience, and lead with authenticity and confidence.
• Key highlights:
• Facilitated monthly Core sessions for UK-based executives and founders across sectors, fostering trust, shared commitment, and transformative dialogue.
• Guided members through structured reflection, leadership exploration, and real-world problem-solving to enhance strategic and emotional intelligence.
• Promoted inclusion and diversity of thought, supporting Chief’s differentiated approach of cross-industry, cross-functional group matching.
• Partnered with Chief’s Core Specialists and Member Experience teams to ensure alignment, member engagement, and group success.
• Upheld accountability and commitment, reinforcing attendance, participation, and professional growth standards within the Core community.
• Contributed to global Guide community, engaging in continuous learning through Chief’s development platform, live All-Hands sessions, and peer collaboration.
• This role allowed me to blend coaching, facilitation, and leadership development, empowering accomplished women to evolve from success to significance.
• Through Chief, I contributed to shaping a new era of leadership built on connection, intuition, and courageous authenticity.
