How will you transform your inner critic into a powerful inner leader?

Leadership Coaching & Accountability

Our leadership coaching programs focus on supporting leaders in transforming systemic and personal trauma into leadership and belonging.

You deserve a seat at the table. You can change the world.

EMBODIED COACHING PROGRAM

Radically Joyful & Confident Leadership

This immersive, experiential coaching journey is designed to empower emerging leaders with practical tools, embodied techniques, and creative practices—all within a warm, supportive space that encourages you to lead with radical authenticity, joy, and confidence.

How we will do it

  • Clarity anchors confidence. Get unapologetically clear on your purpose and build a daily resilience practice to stay connected to your "why" amidst difficult challenges and change.

  • You are powerful beyond measure. Develop a highly attuned awareness of your distinct skills and gifts to align your leadership to what brings you the most joy, purpose and impact. 

  • You can still change the world. Channel a bold, world-changing leadership vision rooted in your unique purpose and powers —then learn how to activate it in ways that inspire your team, clients and community into action.

  • Hello Inner Critic, we welcome you. Learn to ally with your inner critic, transforming self-limiting beliefs into soul-empowering truths, especially in the face of failure and feedback.

  • You are worthy of taking up space. Discover the joy of speaking through authentic storytelling, trauma-informed techniques to stay calm under pressure, and practice real-world scenarios in a supportive space.

  • Avoid burnout, rest is strategy. Create a strategic roadmap of restorative daily practices and tap into communities of support to nurture long-term, meaningful impact.

“I am a cell-sized unit of the human organism, and I have to use my life to leverage a shift in the system by how I am, as much as with the things I do. This means actually being in my life, and it means bringing my values into my daily decision making. Each day should be lived on purpose.”




-Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy

 

COACHING TEAM

Healing meets Strategy

Our coaching team is composed of coaches, therapists and artists (most of whom are BIPOC and/or queer) who bring together a unique alchemy of psychologically safe space holding, embodied creative expression and practical leadership strategies.

"Mel from Fairground and I met at the Lesbians Who Tech retreat in Panama. We got to talking about my challenges, and she put together a life-changing, highly-personalized workshop for me the very next day! In that workshop, we created a plan for the rest of the year, and from January to October, we implemented. I have been challenged so much throughout this process. I've grown tenfold as a CEO and a human. As a business, we have zeroed-in on and addressed a series of crucial pain-points. January-me would hardly recognize October-me, but Melissa knew along what I was capable of. Mel exudes kindness and wisdom, knowledge and strength, and I recommend her wholeheartedly. She will continue to be a part of my journey for years to come."
