Contrary to its name, your Personal Leadership Vision can be sourced from the fertile depths of your life - rich with the earthy, mossy soil of experience.
Your Personal Leadership Vision reflects the stories of your life, extending as far back as you choose.
It's also the place where you bring the depths of the darkness into the light.
Your Personal Leadership Vision holds the seeds of your most impactful projects, relationships and engagements — including thought leadership of all shapes and sizes.
Here is where you will cultivate profound connections with colleagues, stakeholders and customers, enabling them to grasp your essence, values and the possibilities of collaboration under your leadership.
Because of all this, the process of creating one is often filled with feelings of anxiety and struggle.
Where you look at sample visioning statements and cobble together your own version but it never feels quite right
Where you endlessly ruminate over your “I envision…” statement because you never realized the work that must be done to source your unique stories
Where in your efforts to say something "professional," you find yourself met with blank stares as the person you're addressing fails to grasp what you're trying to say
RISE ROOTED is a condensed leadership visioning workshop for conscious leaders.
You will leave with ...
A multiple page personal leadership vision that feels right to you
Inspiring stories of how other leaders have created their visions
A template for continuing to live into your vision
We will….
pause and dive deep into your glorious personal leadership history
access the intelligence of your head, heart and gut
discover a different way to create that honors life's natural rhythms and is structured around ritual
channel community energies at your back every step of the way
RISE ROOTED is a sacred time to feel the ground beneath your feet as you prepare to grow like never before
I’m here to introduce an approach to creating your personal leadership vision that is grounded and true:
Where you start building deeper relationships with your people, reminding them of who they are.
Where you get to practice taking ownership of the magnificent, powerful, creative human you are.
Where it actually feels good talking about yourself because you’ve struck the balance between your humanity and your authority.
RISE ROOTED 2024 INCLUDES:
In this workshop experience you will explore 3 core elements of a compelling Personal Leadership Vision:
Your Top 3 Life Experiences: You’ll excavate core life experiences that form the foundation of your life and work using memoir writing techniques
Your Top 2 Emerging New Ways of Being: You'll identify the news ways of being that have been showing up in your recent past using energy exercises
The People and Environments That Help You Come Alive: You'll discover the people and environments that reinforce or even reveal your vision to you
The Rise Rooted workshop experience is not your usual how-to class. We'll be using our intuition to bring the depths of the darkness into the light.
I was the kid who loved to be outside, sing and dance with my little sister, play the piano by ear. Who banged the keys at my gospel church services by the time I was 13 years old and composed and performed my high school graduation song. The young woman who went to 3 different undergraduate schools because I had a baby in the Spring of my junior year, and who graduated just 6 months after my peers. The woman who experienced 2 marriages and 2 divorces by the time I was 40, and who represented myself pro se in one of the divorce trials. The woman who never stopped learning, never stopped growing, never stopped exploring.
Who is now learning the deep restfulness of grace.
I was the professional whose truth telling disrupted big organizations — leading to a director being removed from a government agency and the EEOC shaking up a prestigious nonprofit (more on those stories another time). I'm also an entrepreneur who got so sick launching two organizations at the same time that I nearly burned out. I am known for my big heart.
My experience includes: coaching more than 100 leaders to include more of themselves in their journeys, holding space for teams to become more collaborative, recruiting more than 30 exceptional, diverse executive coaches into my company and leading our new focus on Impact Coaching® to advance more nature, people and planet positive solutions.
My custom online programs have helped people own their stories and communicate from a place of authenticity, openness and dignity to sustainably grow their impact.
I have a proven record of guiding clients to self-discovery and transformation…
“You created something real. There was no right or wrong. You held a safe space for everyone to share freely. Everyone could say whatever they needed to say without judgment. You balanced sharing and passing along to the next person. You included head and heart. You worked in partnership with the group, aligning with and flowing with the strengths of the people.”
“You were spacious and calm enough to hold everything that showed up.”
“You created a sense of safety.”
“You asked beautiful questions that helped everyone go deeper.”
“I’m really touched by you receiving me that way. Helps me give myself permission to just be with it all as I am.”
“Thank you, Jill. You facilitated that so beautifully and I have a much deeper awareness of how to hold something like this.”
“You did a great job Jill, thank you for helping each one of us to bring our positions and to connect to our feelings.”
“You brought balance when you showed up as you were holding the space."
RISE ROOTEDturns the typical visioning workshop on its head, helping you create a personal leadership vision that is not a static image of the distant future but from a deep knowing based on what is alive within you right now, and has been / will be with you your entire life.

What we believe
We believe in ourselves. We believe the answers can be found in our brains and in our bodies.
We believe in you. We believe the answers can be found in each other.
We believe in the real world—shaping it and letting it shape us. We believe in porous boundaries.
We believe in expanding our capacity—in the adventure of trusting ourselves, in having fun and enjoying everything we do.
We believe in great companies. We believe in innovation. We believe we can change the world.
We believe in employees and leaders who lift each other up, who become what they always planned and never imagined.
We believe in becoming, that we are always turning toward balance. We
believe in the gifts of the artist, the entrepreneur, the reformer, the helper, the protector, the peacemaker, the innovator.
We believe in something so much larger than ourselves—the quiet voice, the inner knowing, the origin of our genius.
We know one thing to be true: Everyoneis brilliant.
Coaching is nothing short of evolution and, like Gandolf said to Frodo, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Like Frodo, our adventures stretch us beyond our wildest imagination. When we answer the call, we end up crossing raging rivers, climbing steep mountains and fighting our demons. And there is something else. By the end of our journey, we are different somehow. We have transformed. To go on the hero's journey is to evolve.
