We’ve joined forces to educate, inspire, and empower women to intentionally develop their authentic presence, core values, attitudes, and skills that are the foundation of high-performance leadership. Our eclectic blend of experience and training help us harness the awareness of body, mind, and heart to empower women to develop into Newave Leaders. We do that through our Women’s Retreat, Individual Coaching, and additional Training Events.

If you want to gain more awareness that you can leverage in your growth as a leader, we’d like to introduce you to our PADLE model. The PADLE model is a five-step process where you can:

(P) Primal Core – explore patterns that keep you stuck.

(A) Awareness – clarify changes you want to make but don’t quite know how.

(D) Declaration – commit to routines or practices that focus on self-care.

(L) Leadership – identify places in your life when you would like to step forward but don’t know how or don’t think you can.

(E) Extension – discover how to bring your best self forward with confidence, contribute to a group or community, and feel a sense of satisfaction.

Take advantage or our 30-minute free consultation to help you decide if the PADLE model is for you and how we can best support your journey. To get started click here to fill out our brief questionnaire that will provide you with insight into your awareness of self and how you can make a greater contribution to the lives of others.
