Lead As FEMME

Redefine power on your terms.

A transformational group experience for the modern leader who owns her feminine strengths and paves a new way of leading. Elevate your leadership with authenticity and step into your full potential.

Welcome to LEAD as FEMME

LEAD as FEMME is a 12-week live, virtual leadership development group coaching experience. This program is designed for ambitious women who are ready to break free from outdated models, lead with emotional intelligence and authenticity, and embody their fullest leadership expression. 

You weren't Meant to Lead like Them.

The kind of leadership we’ve come to know? It wasn’t made for us women.  

Instead, it’s a long-standing model that lacks diversity and creates environments where a woman’s potential is suppressed and barriers are created.

Seeing these kinds of leaders throughout my own corporate career, it was clear that the model of leadership created is for men. 

Welcome to the gap in leadership.  

Women have often had to conform and lead in ways that deny the qualities which are unique to them for fear of rejection or judgement to say the least. 

So they continue struggling, using inauthentic tactics and strategies to navigate corporate arenas, thinking, this is the way, this will get me what I want, even at the expense of compromising who they are.

Not only has this kept women in a disempowered state, it overshadows a woman’s unique qualities, keeping her from fully realizing her true leadership potential.

This is FOR you if:

What you’ll walk away with:

Does this sound familiar?

The women who come to me often feel like they must twist themselves into a pretzel to make themselves known in business or place of work.

They’re exhausted from feeling they have to perform to navigate negotiations, ask for opportunities, use tactics that are inauthentic to get what they want, and struggle with owning being a leader because they’re a woman.

They hit a plateau in their career, struggle to reach career milestones or simply lose themselves in their leadership role feeling the need to conform.

The list goes on.

As a result, women have struggled with being recognized, honored and included as leaders. For many, navigating these environments have left the qualities of what makes a woman, a woman, ignored and suppressed in order to fit in.

When our time together is complete, these same women have gone on to be recognized for promotional opportunities, are sought after to lead high profile projects, lead more authentically, have been able to have more authentic relationships, go after desires they previously didn’t allow themselves to do and so much more.

An increase in confidence is inevitable, but the transformation they experience is life-changing. They elevate their leadership and increase their visibility where it matters. Even better, the organizations they’re a part of become stronger.

The work to bring gender equality, balance and include women as the true leaders they are, has been a work in progress for decades.

Why this program and why now?

I believe when more women are fully able to own who they are in their leadership role, their impact is amplified across all areas of their life. Business’s are more balanced, their work life where they spend at least 80% of their time is more enjoyable, relationships are strengthened and more authentic and life is just all around sweeter.

You’re not a female leader; you’re a leader. Period.

Love from Clients

“The biggest skill Lisa gave me was she helped me better value myself. Working with Lisa has been life-changing, and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with her.”

“You have changed my life and I can’t thank you enough for helping me become the person I am today from the person I was when we first met. Thank you so much and I hope we meet again!”

“I really have enjoyed our time together, you’ve challenged me and have made me a better leader in such a small time!”

The question I often pose and stops women in their tracks is:

What’s the cost of operating
from a place that compromises who you are?

The answer is usually – too much.

The future will continue to see the rise of more conscious women stepping into their role as leaders’ sans slapping their gender in front of their title. Owning the qualities that inherently make them femme, and they naturally possess.

We’ll see an increase in empowered women paving the way for a new generation of leadership.

Paving a new way of living, doing business and working, while courageously doing so with heart.

Now is your time.

She is waiting for you.

Meet Your Coach

Lisa De Nicola, PCC

My journey through corporate mirrors the experience of many women I now have the privilege to coach. Like you, I navigated systems that often rewarded performance over authenticity, and learned quickly what organizations were really looking for in their top talent.

In my former career in talent acquisition, I worked closely with leaders across every level, from frontline managers to the executive suite. I had a front-row seat to what sets great leadership apart and the barriers women often face trying to lead in a system not built for them.

I didn’t climb the corporate ladder by choice, but during my tenure, I gained a deep understanding of what the best leaders do differently. Yes, I made many of the same mistakes you’ve likely made, too, especially when leading remote teams.

Stepping into entrepreneurship brought a whole new set of lessons. Growing and running my own business gave me challenges that corporate life couldn’t teach, particularly as a woman building something from the ground up. It’s this blend of experience—corporate, entrepreneurial, and deeply personal that now shapes how I coach.

Today, I use what I call my FEMME leadership recipe, a framework I’ve lived, refined, and shared with high-achieving women who are ready to lead with more truth, confidence, and ease.

Lead as FEMME was created to meet more women where they are eager to lead with purpose, ready to break free from outdated models, and hungry to step fully into their power.
