SHESUITE 

An independent advisory board for C-level women


 

It's lonely at the top.

I know.

I feel I have to set the example. Be strong. Have all the answers.

Who gets me with all my ambitions and all the things I want to do? Very few.

This monthly roundtable may be supportive of you if you have:

  • FINANCIAL SUCCESS
    • But if you are honest with yourself, the next 3-5 years look unclear. It's very 'out of body' for you given that you have always been clear on your path. Who can you be vulnerable with?
  • A FAST GROWING BUSINESS
    • How do you manage your time effectively?
  • A DESIRE TO STAY STRATEGIC
    • When do you  roll up your sleeves and get in the trenches with the team. When you stay high level advisor? 
  • TO ATTRACT INVESTORS
    and exit your business. (Attract the right ones)
  • A DESIRE FOR COMMUNITY
    • To have a business-focused conversation.

Explore the Deep Questions

Do the personal development work you aren't doing anywhere else.


Why is this important?
Self-awareness is key at this level of leadership. Let us be the hard (or soft) mirror you need.

Like-Minded Community

Surround yourself with a group of intelligent, motivated, and deep thinking women who will support and celebrate your success.

Why is this important?
Sure, we have friends who mean well. We have work colleagues who lend an ear from time to time. But, it's incredibly powerful to have an independent advisory board that can be objective and confidential in addressing your challenges OUTSIDE of work.
This is your new professional team for the next 12 months.

 

Accountability

 

It is one thing to think about your challenge. It is one thing to write about your challenge. It takes the accountability to the next level when you have to articulate it out loud in a trusted space.

Why is this important?
If you didn't have to show up and report on the progress of your goal, it would be incredibly easy to keep 'kicking the can' down the road. It's also easy to keep stewing over the goal and never get any ideas on 'the next action step' or 'why we even want it.'  This is where accountability is key.

"I'm now raising a $50MM real estate fund"

Divya Tandon, class of 2022, talks about how much the accountability meant to her meeting her goals.

She has been an owner and operator of 300+ multi family Class B and C units.  In year 2 of working with me, she's made a MUCH bigger goal.

90 Minutes


I will start the 90 minutes by asking about a recent 'win.'

We, as women, often brush past the 'wins,' never stopping to celebrate. We just move on to the next challenge.

Present Your Challenge

Then, in a round robin fashion, I will ask each woman to share a challenge. This also lays out the welcome mat for 3 people from the group to weigh in with potential solutions, from their own lived experience.

"I got the promotion. Now I'm building a team."

Nidhi Sinha, Class of 2022, is Global Head of Public Relations for BCG.  She and I worked together to make the business case to her CEO.

In year 2, she is thinking about the culture she is creating for her team.

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”

Who am I

My name is Joya Dass. For 20 years I was a news anchor on major networks. I told stories about the companies you needed to care about.

Today I head up the Women’s Leadership Lab. I put on my journalist hat and ask the hard questions to help women tell stories about themselves. I drive leadership programming with an element of adventure.

If you genuinely want to become better, you must surround yourself with people who will hold you to a higher standard than you currently hold yourself. You want to be around people with a higher and better vantage-point than you have, so that you can quickly learn from them. 

Your level of talent and “potential” are irrelevant if you’re surrounded by people who don’t help you realize it.

---Dr. Ben Hardy
