The Open Table

A Private Executive Roundtable for Senior Women Leaders

Navigating burnout, isolation, and the invisible pressure of leadership

I work with women leaders who are successful on paper but exhausted behind the scenes.

I'm the founder of The Open Table, a private executive roundtable for senior women leaders navigating burnout, isolation, and the invisible pressure of leadership.

This isn't another leadership program.
It's a room you don't usually get access to.

Many women don't leave leadership because they lack ambition, they leave because they're carrying too much, for too long, without support.

Inside Each Cohort

Structured sessions with intentional curriculum, not generic wellness, but real leadership strategy.
