It's time to bust the myth for good...

You're Not Stuck Because You're Not Good Enough.

You're Stuck Because the System was Never Built with You in Mind.

That's why I created a leadership program for women in cybersecurity who are done outperforming a visibility problem.

Does This Sound Familiar?

You have the certifications. You've led incident response. You've delivered under pressure when it mattered most.

And yet, somehow, less capable peers keep moving into Director and VP roles while you quiety wonder what you're missing.

You've tried working harder. Staying heads-down. Getting one more credential. Letting your results speak for themselves.

But results don't speak on their own. People do.

If you are highly capable and still feel invisible, that's not a contradiction.

The leadership cohort did so much more than teach me new skills — it actually rewired my thought process. I used to believe my growth depended on my leaders' recognition. Now I'm in charge of my own journey, actively building my visibility and creating opportunities instead of waiting for them. The way I perceive and tackle problems has completely shifted.

In the Age of AI, Capability is Table Stakes.

Visibility is What Converts Capable to Impactful.

1

The Rooms You're Not in

The decisions about your career are being made in conversations you're not in, by people evaluating who is visible, trusted, and perceived as influential -- not who scored highest.

2

AI is accelerating this shift

Technical execution is increasingly automated. What can't be automated is your judgment, your trust, and your presence under pressure.

The question isn't if you're capable

Decision makers need to know that you operate with influence in a way that delivers impact.

Create Your Leading Edge

a cohort-based program for women in cybersecurity who are ready to move from capability to impact

This isn't confidence training. It's not executive polish. It's not another certification.

This program will change the way you think and act

Create Your Leading Edge is a 12-week cohort program you can do from anywhere, built around core principles that address the actual barriers between where you are and where you belong.

understand the real problem and know yourself

You will stop internalizing systemic dynamics as personal inadequacy. This allows you to rebuild confidence in your own judgment, even after years of being second-guessed. You will reclaim what was always there.

Hold space with grounded authority and your signature leadership strength

You will authentically hold your ground without shrinking or posturing. Others will gravitate to your magnetic pull and you will lead influentially in a way that creates value, buy-in, and results. You do this your way with your ability and style, not according to someone's idea of what it means to "fit in."

You will secure sponsorship and keep your skills sustainable for the long haul

True sponsorship that represents you in rooms that you're not in, and opens doors to opportunity. And your confidence grows because you build the systems and habits that keep you operating at maximum impact without burning out.

I came in unsure of how to gain momentum toward a leadership role. CYLE gave me the tools to understand myself and prioritize what's actually in my control. I saw immediate positive shifts when I applied the Purple Balloon concept. I left with a stronger sense of self and real tools to succeed.—
