You’re Here Because…

  • Despite all the self-development work you’ve done, you still feel that familiar flicker of imposter syndrome when you walk into important rooms

  • You’re exhausted from carrying everyone else’s needs first — giving, overgiving, and then quietly resenting how invisible you feel in return

  • You know you need firmer boundaries, but the moment you try to set them, guilt hits like a punch - so you stay silent, even when it costs you your time, energy, and sanity

  • You’re walking a daily mental tightrope - working hard not to be “too much,” yet constantly fearing you’re still not enough - and the emotional strain is wearing you down

Let Me Guess…

  • You replay meetings in your head, frustrated that you stayed quiet again when you had something valuable to say - and you’re done second-guessing yourself

  • Deep down, you wonder: What makes me different? What makes me powerful?
    You know you bring something unique, but you haven’t figured out how to name it, claim it, or lead from it.

  • You feel pressure to fit a version of leadership that doesn’t look or feel like you - and it leaves you questioning whether you’re really “cut out” for the roles you want

  • Even though you’re capable and talented, you still hesitate to go for bigger roles because a part of you quietly whispers, What if I’m not ready?

  • And even when you know you’re ready, you still feel passed over, undervalued, and unnoticed - like people can’t see the leader you know you could be


How Would you Feel If Instead...

  • You trusted your voice and ideas enough to speak up without rehearsing, overexplaining, or second-guessing afterward

  • You walked into rooms with a calm confidence, no longer questioning whether you belong there

  • You stopped people-pleasing and could set boundaries that protect your energy without guilt

  • You led with clarity and conviction, instead of constantly seeking validation or approval

  • You felt grounded in your leadership style, even when navigating conflict, feedback, or visibility

  • You no longer overgave to prove your worth and felt respected for who you are, not how much you do

  • You showed up as a decisive, self-assured leader who others naturally look to and trust

  • You felt aligned, confident, and proud of the way you’re leading without quietly burning out behind the scenes


In The Rising Leader Method, I’m going to show you exactly how you can feel this way and lead from a place of self-assured, calm confidence. And trust me, I’ve been there and I KNOW this shift is possible. From always scanning for what others needed from me, burning out from people-pleasing and perfectionism, and keeping quiet when I had important ideas to contribute - to a deep knowing of the value I bring, walking into rooms with confidence, and no longer overthinking every word I said and action I took - I have made this shift, and I am 100% confident I can help you do the same.

Testimonials

  • I cannot say enough good things about Tess! She’s a fantastic coach, and her warm personality will put you absolutely at ease. She isn’t there to tell you what to do - she gets to know you and asks thoughtful, non-judgmental questions to help you figure out what you want and need. Tess helped me to define my values and understand my leadership and work styles, and use them to form my long-term career vision and plan. Her style is kind, warm, and curious, and I felt totally at ease telling her all about my insecurities and challenges. She helped me to see that I could be a full human and a leader at the same time - something I had struggled with as a female in a male-dominated space. After working with Tess I was able to easily define my work and leadership philosophy, which has helped me immensely in interviews and progressing my career. I felt totally safe with her, and it gave me confidence knowing she was in my corner rooting for me. I would 100% recommend Tess!
