Are you tired of navigating the leadership journey alone?
Are you looking a supportive community where your growth is not just encouraged but celebrated?

 

As a woman leader, the path is often solitary, dotted with unique challenges and scarce opportunities for genuine connection and growth. You're not alone in seeking a haven to reflect, strategize, and advance your career alongside peers who understand.

By coming together, we create a powerful space to share experiences, confront realities, and strategize for proactive change. Together, we will harness the collective intelligence and experience your challenges transforming into opportunities. Immerse yourself in a two days of growth, learning, and strategic planning.
 

We see you. We understand.

Who This is For:


YOU 
: Women, and particularly women leaders, who are ready to confront and overcome systemic barriers, but may not have the tools or support to do so.

YOU : Women who face challenges in their personal and professional lives that leave them feeling isolated. Those challenges could include:

  • The weight of feeling like you're  standing alone in the spotlight.
  • The feeling of being burnt out, depleted, and struggling to even stay motivated.
  • Feeling robbed of your energy by the people around you that are demanding too much from you.
  • Trying to pursue your growth in an environment that can sometimes overlook your perspectives and talents.
  • Facing these challenges alone and feeling the absence of a supportive community that understands what it’s like.


YOU 
: Women who want to lead with tenacity, clarity, and passion in any sector, whether for-profit, non-profit, or foundation and want to be supported along the way.

We recognize the scarcity of safe spaces for profound conversations, the dearth of supportive networks where we can be vulnerable, and the frequent questioning of our leadership in traditional work environments.

Brilliant Women Mastermind is a safe space for us to be who we are.

This is about professional and personal development and cultivating relationships that empower and ensure you are seen, heard, and upheld.

If you're looking to be supported, treated equally, and to lead effectively within your environment, this event is for you.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH SHIRLEY MCALPINE & ASSOCIATES

 

“It is no exaggeration to say that without SMA’s expert consultation, guidance and coaching, our professional Association could not be anywhere near as successful as we are today in fulfilling our mission. From 2011 to 2021, Shirley supported our Board and staff to become a remarkably high-functioning, cohesive, dedicated and effective Leadership Team. She is entirely unafraid of – and highly skilful with - challenging conversations when they are needed, and she has helped us navigate some difficult developmental waters with great integrity that could otherwise have undermined our organization and our mission.”

- Mary Lawlor, Founder & former Executive Director, National Association of Certified Professional Midwives

“From a D&I perspective, as we think about the sense of belonging that we’re trying to create, we know that it’s about the whole person and the whole person feeling satisfied. Offering a program that addresses participants lives as a whole, not just their work is key to the success of our goals.”

- Cecilia Nelson-Hunt, former Vice President, Diversity & Inclusion, L'Oréal (Program Sponsor)

"Shirley McAlpine is an exceptional coach because she stands right beside you as you traverse the unchartered terrain on your journey to self-discovery. She has an ability to help tease out the underlying issues or patterns while providing the support needed to bring about change. I have benefitted greatly, as clarity and purpose manifested through our work together. I highly recommend her not only for her skills and ability, but for her authenticity and the passion she brings for every person's, and every agency's full and complete development." 

- Jennie Joseph, Founder and CEO of Commonsense Childbirth, US

“I worked with Shirley during a challenging transition period in my personal life yet a powerful creative time in my professional career. Shirley counseled easily in both realms, helping me to experience myself as an integrated human being and professional, to achieve great business results while navigating through the experience of my husband’s cancer journey at the same time. I appreciated her flexibility, empathy and encouragement, along with her application of expertise and a go for it attitude…all in the right balance for me. I have been lucky to have her in my court.”

- Deborah Brecher, President and Managing Director, Tandem Group

"SMA was phenomenal in working with the team during our Team Retreats. They bring humility, passion and a deep attention to their work. Their dedication to helping people, teams and organisations to fulfill their purpose in life is inspiring.” 

- Dymphna van der Lans, CEO, Clean Cooking Alliance/UN Foundation

“Shirley is an extraordinarily talented executive coach and developer of aspiring coaches. She leads by example, serving as a powerful role model with her presence, authenticity and attunement to her clients, their context & the broader systems they operate within. I deeply appreciate every opportunity to work with and learn from her.”

- Carroll Connacher, Executive Coach & Leadership Development Consultant  

"I wanted to thank you...I've had a hard time putting into words the impact that the work is having, but I can tell you that it is deep, meaningful, and enduring. The course materials, the readings, your presence and perspectives, and the power of community are all working their magic, including improving my ability to hold space for others. This feels important as more individuals and clients are opening up to explore this work, and we are often the first point of inquiry. It is allowing me to be more accurate about what I can/can't do, where I still need to lean in, where I feel comfortable and therefore know how to best be of service.”

- Carolyn Murphy, Facilitator and Coach, C Murphy Consulting LLC

"I known and worked with Shirley for 15 years, and have hired Shirley in a number of very important capacities. She was a lead faculty and co-facilitator as part of a global training program in influencing people through personal impact. This required her to work in many very different cultures (35 countries) and with colleagues trained in different modalities. She excelled at bringing a team together and supporting participants' personal skill development and transformation. A few years later, I hired her to play an integral part of the TCDP faculty. Shirley is an excellent teacher, consummate coach, and a colleague of the highest caliber. When Shirley is present, her high standards, professionalism, and keen eye for dynamics are always present. She never rests in service of her clients; as a result, extraordinary, life-shifting experiences happen. Finally, if you are lucky enough to have Shirley as your coach you will experience support, challenge, and see results, always in the context of the highest ethical standard. She is easily among the top 1% of coaches I know."

- Fran Johnston, Founder, Teleos Leadership Institute
