You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone

Leadership can feel isolating, especially when you're navigating self-doubt, preparing for bigger opportunities, or trying to find your voice in rooms where you're expected to prove yourself.

You may know you're capable of more, but still find yourself second-guessing your decisions, staying quiet when you have something important to say, or wondering why others seem to move ahead more easily.

The truth is, leadership growth isn't just about learning new skills. It's about developing the self-trust to stand behind your ideas, communicate with conviction, and navigate challenges without constantly second-guessing yourself.

You don't have to navigate that journey on your own.

Coaching and Leadership Development Designed Around Your Goals

Every leader's path is different. That's why I offer several ways to work together depending on your goals, challenges, and stage of growth.

Some clients benefit from the personalized support and accountability of The Rising Leader Method, my signature 1:1 coaching program designed to help women strengthen their leadership presence by understanding the internal patterns shaping how you show up and building the self-trust to lead with clarity and conviction.

Others thrive in the shared learning, connection, and support of the Women in Leadership Accelerator, a group coaching experience designed to help you see yourself differently as a leader through reflection, shared insight, and guided leadership development alongside other influential women.

For organizations and teams, I also offer customized coaching, facilitation, and leadership development experiences that help teams strengthen communication, trust, and leadership presence by addressing the underlying patterns shaping how people lead and collaborate.

No matter which path is the right fit, my approach remains the same: helping you better understand yourself, build confidence, and lead from who you are rather than who you think you're expected to be.

Here’s what you get:

Trust your voice without second-guessing yourself.
Strengthen your presence in every room.
Recognize and own your unique value.
Lead from your values with confidence.
Step into new opportunities with self-trust.

Navigate difficult conversations with clarity.
Set boundaries without guilt or apology.
Make decisions with greater certainty.
Communicate with conviction and purpose.
Become respected for who you are.

What Changes When You Trust Yourself as a Leader

The goal isn’t to become someone different; it’s to become more fully yourself. As you deepen your trust in who you are and the value you bring, you begin to shift how you show up in every area of your leadership and life.

Trust Your Voice

Speak up without rehearsing what you’ll say or second-guessing yourself afterward.

Lead with Confidence

Make decisions and navigate difficult conversations without spiraling into overthinking or self-doubt.

Protect Your Energy

Set boundaries without guilt and lead in a way that feels sustainable, without burning out.

"I’ve noticed that I’m more confident and trust my instincts more when carrying out activities; I don’t overthink things—I just let them flow more naturally. Tess is an extraordinary coach and did wonderful work awakening the leader within me—someone I didn't know how to fully express. Through her coaching, I was able to discover strengths I had not previously recognized, develop a clearer vision of my leadership, and gain the confidence needed to move toward my goals."

Diana Kelley, Assistant Manager
"If you're considering the Women in Leadership Accelerator, just do it. It will change how you feel about yourself and your future."

Natalie Fritze, Supervisor, Service Planning
"I'm so glad I chose this time to participate in the Women in Leadership Accelerator. I was stepping into a new role during a busy and chaotic season, and while I initially questioned whether it was the right time, it turned out to be exactly what I needed. The combination of leadership training and 1:1 coaching created space for both reflection and practical growth, allowing me to immediately apply what I was learning in my role."

Sarah Van Petten, Director of Marketing, Referendum Services
"The Women in Leadership Accelerator was a life-changing experience that has helped me grow in confidence, strengthen my leadership skills, and embrace my authentic voice."

Cheyenne Lambley, Customer Engagement, Sales, Co-Owner
"Tess created a space that felt honest, thoughtful, and easy to engage with. The Rising Leader Method program gave me a mental path to follow when I’m up against situations that would normally frustrate, intimidate, or overwhelm me. I now have a way to pause, understand what’s really affecting me, and reframe the situation through my own strengths. Tess has a special ability to make this work feel both deeply personal and practically useful, and the impact of that is something that stays with you long after the program ends."

Erin Murphy, Senior Project Coordinator

Ready to Step into Your Next Level of Leadership?

You know you're capable of more. Yet too often, self-doubt, overthinking, or the pressure to prove yourself can keep you from showing up with the confidence and presence you deserve.

A Leadership Clarity Call is an opportunity to discuss your goals, explore what's getting in the way, and uncover the story that's shaping how you lead. Together, we'll identify your next steps and determine whether coaching is the right fit for your journey.

If you're ready to lead with greater self-trust, presence, and conviction, I'd love to connect.

Hi, I’m Tess

Leadership Coach for Women Ready to Rise

You don't need to become someone else to be an influential leader.

As a Certified Narrative Leadership Coach, facilitator, and educator, I help women uncover what's holding them back, reconnect with their values, and lead from a place of confidence, clarity, and self-trust.

My approach is grounded in the belief that lasting confidence doesn't come from external validation. It comes from understanding your story, owning your gifts, and recognizing the unique value you bring to every room you enter.
