Next cohort starts: Fall 2023
The 6-Week Expansive Transformation Program
Join our live online course and master the skills, strategies, and tools you need to accelerate your career and achieve success on your terms.
Together, we'll get you there.
Women supporting women.
In this course, you will...
Build Confidence
-
Overcome imposter syndrome, feelings of insecurity and/or other limiting beliefs and behaviors that have been holding you back.
-
Ground yourself in the truth of who you really are.
-
Stop seeking external validation and instead, trust yourself, your experience, and your intuition.
Gain Clarity
-
Better understand yourself and your motivations. Make decisions and choices from a place of deep inner knowing.
-
Envision what's possible and set the direction for what's next for you and your career.
-
Understand how to motivate and influence others so you can navigate even the most emotionally challenging work cultures.
Belong to a
Community
-
Build mutually supportive relationships with like-minded women that will stay with you long after the course is finished.
-
Among the generous and talented women in your cohort, you will find wisdom and inspiration.
-
You may even find your next job, or a cherished friendship.
You have big dreams. But also, big fears.
You've worked hard to get where you are. But somehow, you know there must be more.
Sometimes you feel an internal battle - the desire to grow and take on bigger, more challenging roles so you can make a tangible impact on the world vs. the belief that you're not quite good enough or even deserving of such a life and career.
So, you don't put forward that bold idea, apply for that new job, start that business, or ask for that raise.
Instead, you make yourself small. You contract into what feels safe.
When we are small and contractive, we deny our own brilliance and talents. And we deprive the rest of the world of those things too.
And that's a damn shame.
Because the world needs more of you, not less.
We need you to be big and expansive, not small and contractive.
And that's what you'll work on here at the Expansive Woman Project.
"On an intellectual level, I knew that imposter syndrome and self-doubt were normal parts of the leadership journey, but it wasn't until I went through the course alongside a group of amazing women that I truly felt like I wasn't alone."

What our alumni are saying:
Leigh Billinghurst
6-Week Expansive Transformation Participant
The Expansive Transformation course provided an opportunity to collaborate with a group of exceptionally talented women. We challenged each other and held one another accountable on this journey together. I walked away from the sessions with an understanding of my true core values, not ones externally imposed, ones that motivated me and were individual to my wants and desires. Recognizing my values and taking ownership of my success has given me more confidence when developing and driving key strategic decisions.
Do any of these situations feel familiar?
You want to be more confident, influential and impactful at work so you can progress to a new level.
You feel an internal battle - the desire to grow and take on bigger roles vs. the belief that you're not quite good enough or even deserving of such a life and career.
You're frustrated because you've been stuck in the same job, at the same level for longer than you'd like, but don't know how to move forward.
You're ready for a change, but have little clarity on what that change should be.
Good news!
This is where all that changes.
"Now, almost everything I do revolves around my core values, which has made me much more confident in the work I do, the relationships I hold and who I am to my own self."

What's it like to be an Expansive Woman?
You will be grounded in solid core values and purpose, yet open to new ideas, people, and situations. From this place, you will become hopeful, excited, and passionate about your life and career.
Rather than being influenced by externally determined rules about who and what you should be, you will experience a confidence that arises naturally as a result of being in alignment with your authentic self and who and what you choose to be.
You already have everything you need to be an expansive woman. Together, we’ll help you remember, rediscover, and reclaim her.
This is how we’re going to change the world.
One Expansive Woman at a time.

Yearning

How we'll learn together:
Videos, exercises and in-class discussions
Each week, you'll unlock new content as you explore what's been holding you back and discover your expansive self. In class, we'll deepen your understanding as you and your cohort members ask questions and receive coaching from your instructor.
Peer-to-peer support and collaboration
This is where the magic really happens. Each session, participants are assigned a new accountability group who they will support and be supported by for the next week. In session, participants learn to support and coach each other. This builds the foundation for lasting relationships with fellow expansive women.

Course outline:
Pre-course
Pre-course session
Meet your instructor and fellow cohort members for the first time. Learn about what to expect and how we'll work together.
Week 2
What's holding you back?
Discover the limiting patterns of belief and behavior that have been holding you back. Begin to understand how these patterns create internal conflicts that keep you in a contractive state.
Week 4
Shifting into agency
Explore strategies and frameworks that will help you remain your full, expansive self no matter what the situation or circumstance. Learn to set boundaries, let go of what's not working, and to live joyfully in a world of complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity.
Week 6
Opening to possibility
Discover your purpose, mission and vision for your life. Take what you've learned so far, overcome your internal resistance and create your BIG PLAN.
Week 1
Why you're here
Learn about career plateaus, perfectionism, should values, and imposter syndrome and how they are exacerbated by the contractive state and alleviated by the expansive state.
Week 3
Discovering your expansive self
This is a very big week! You'll explore the states of being and qualities of life and character that are most important to you. From here, you'll identify the unique set of 3 to 5 values that are core to who you are. This is the grounding that allows you to enter an expansive state.
Week 5
Being your expansive self at work
Learn the art and science of influence, how to understand and manage difficult bosses, colleagues and clients, and how to co-create with those around you for outstanding results.
Post-course
Keeping what you've gained
Just as you might have a professional practice or a yoga practice, or a spiritual practice, expansiveness is a practice. Create your plan to ensure you experience expansiveness as often as possible.
