Why I Started Tide Risers

 

A lot of people ask me why I started Tide Risers, so I thought I'd share that with you today.
A number of years ago I started noticing a pattern in my executive coaching practice: a number of my female clients were coming to me with very similar issues, and feeling completely isolated within those issues — like they were the only one this thing was happening to.

They were wanting to make a change to enable them to live a more fulfilling life, but they were unsure how to shift direction or make meaningful plans for their future. They were experiencing a lack of mentorship, sponsorship, and inspirational leadership. They were feeling that their professional and personal networks were too limited, but frustrated by the networking opportunities open to them.

They were feeling stuck. And that feeling of being stuck was creeping into every aspect of their lives.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the power that could come from enabling these women to find what they were looking for in collaboration with one another, rather than picking away at these challenges alone.

So I launched Tide Risers in 2017 to harness that power.
Since then, our community has grown organically to over 350 women across the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America, representing a diverse mix of industry background, life experience, and global perspective. Our members have gained promotions, found roles that better fit their objectives, built businesses, and developed lasting friendships through our work together. I couldn't be more proud of the transformational effect of this community and our programs.

If you have enjoyed some of the free workshops we have been offering, you will LOVE the following opportunities:

1. Tide Risers Foundations

An individualized learning process that guides women to step up to their leadership potential. Over the course of four 90-minute online interactive sessions, you'll learn to amplify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and develop your own leadership principles. If you're interested, please act fast as the registration deadline is February 20. This is one of my favorite courses to lead, as it consistently results in powerful transformations for our members.

2. Tide Risers Membership

This is designed to give you ongoing structured support including skill-building workshops, networking events, and accountability tools throughout the year. We have worked hard to keep the annual fee to a minimum and membership includes a whole host of benefits and discounts for coaching and our annual summit, so it's really a no-brainer.

3. In-Person Retreats

We are so excited to offer a weekend retreat in the bucolic English Countryside June 9-11, focusing on harnessing and leveraging your energy. Our work over the course of this weekend will help us harness energy to better engage others and to help communicate our personal leadership brand. It will also be relaxing, restoring and fun!
