✨ What Is Eve Rising?

Founded in 2019, Eve Rising symbolizes the beginning—the dawn, the eve of something new.

It represents the awakening of women in LeadHership: women stepping fully into their power, their voice, and their purpose.

Eve Rising was created in response to what many women leaders experience but rarely name—the quiet weight of responsibility, the pressure to perform within outdated leadership models, and the longing for a way to lead that is aligned, sustainable, and true.

This is leadership development rooted in permission, presence, and purpose.

This is not about becoming someone else. It’s about returning to who we already are, and leading from a place of integrity.

✨ LeadHership in the North

LeadHership in the North calls for something deeper than traditional leadership models.

It requires heart, resilience, and a values-based, community-centered approach that reflects who we are, where we live, and who we serve.

Northern leaders often navigate complexity that isn’t captured in textbooks, close-knit communities, cultural diversity, geographic distance, limited resources, and high visibility. Eve Rising honors these realities by offering leadership development that is relational, holistic, and grounded in lived northern experience.

Rather than prescribing rigid frameworks, Eve Rising supports women to build the conscious awareness, confidence, and adaptability required to lead with integrity, care, and impact in northern contexts.

🌿 The Eve Rising LeadHership Development Program

The Eve Rising LeadHership Development Program is a six-month (plus make-up sessions), holistic leadership journey designed specifically for northern women navigating complexity, visibility, and responsibility, without losing themselves in the process.

Built by northern women, for northern women, this program blends coaching, reflection, skill-building, and community to support women in leading with authenticity, resilience, and impact, without conforming to outdated leadership norms.

This is leadership development that meets northern women where they are and supports where we’re going together.

🌿 Who This Program Is For

This program is designed for:

• Aspiring, emerging, and seasoned women leaders
• Entrepreneurs, managers, executives, nonprofit, and community leaders
• Women stepping into new roles or expanded leadership influence
• Women seeking a values-aligned, authentic approach to leadership
• Women leading in environments where relationships, trust, and adaptability matter

You don’t need a formal title to belong here.
If you’re influencing decisions, holding responsibility, or feeling called to lead differently, you’re in the right place.

🎯 What You’ll Experience

Over the course of the program, participants engage in:

• Women-centered leadership coaching grounded in real, present-day challenges
• A supportive cohort of LeadHers who understand the realities of leading in northern and close-knit communities
• Practical leadership capacity-building in areas including:
  • Strategic and direct communication
  • Relationship building, collaboration, and trust
  • Decision-making and problem-solving
  • Negotiation, advocacy, and influence
  • Change management and innovation
  • Cultural intelligence and inclusive leadership
  • Resilience, self-management, and sustainability
• Leadership reflection and feedback tools to clarify strengths and growth edges
• A safe, intentional space to experiment, learn, and grow, without judgment

This is not a lecture-style program. While there will be guided learning and information sharing, the experience is highly participatory. You get out of it what you put into it.

🧭 Program Structure & Themes

This is a co-created program, shaped alongside the LeadHers in each cohort. While content may evolve to meet cohort needs, the program is currently designed around five core components:

• Relationship Building
• Leading Self
• Leading Others
• Leading Together: Navigating Complexity and Change
• Bringing It All Together

This flexible structure ensures the experience remains relevant, responsive, and aligned with the lived realities of participants.

🌱 Why Northern Women (and Employers) Choose Eve Rising

Women, and the organizations they lead within, choose Eve Rising because it delivers meaningful, sustainable leadership growth for the northern leadHers, in the north.

Women join Eve Rising because the demands of leadership are real and so are the costs of carrying them alone.

Through this program, participants experience:

• Relief from isolation: Breaking the sense of “it’s just me” through connection with women who understand
• Clarity and boundaries: Strengthened leadership identity, decision-making, and healthy boundaries
• Burnout prevention: Sustainable leadership practices that support wellbeing and long-term effectiveness
• Confidence and presence: Greater self-trust and conscious leadership instead of reactive patterns
• Practical tools for immediate use: Skills that translate directly into day-to-day leadership
• Stronger feedback capability: Giving and receiving feedback with clarity, care, and confidence
• Increased self-awareness: Identifying blind spots, building on strengths, and growing leadership capacity intentionally
• Intentional leadership: Moving off autopilot and leading with purpose and alignment

For employers, Eve Rising supports retention, engagement, and leadership capacity by investing in women who lead with clarity, resilience, and relational intelligence.

💭 Common Hesitations—And Why They’re Worth a Second Look

It’s common for women leaders to hesitate—especially when they’re already carrying full plates.

“I don’t have time.”
“I can’t take time off work.”
“I’m not senior enough yet.”
“I’m too senior for this.”
“I should wait until things settle down.”
“I can’t justify spending money on myself.”
“I’m already doing fine.”

These thoughts are understandable—and they often signal that support, clarity, and space to reflect are needed most.

What’s required instead:

• Permission to prioritize leadership growth
• Asking for support, from employers, teams, or family
• Time-blocking program dates and protecting them as professional development
• A commitment to growing capacity, not just managing demands
• Investing in yourself, or requesting employer support for leadership development (highly encouraged)
• For senior leaders especially: the courage to stay curious, to listen deeply, and to release the pressure of being the expert. True leadership is not about knowing it all and telling people what to do, it’s about leaning into your team to co-create solutions that serve everyone, creating stronger, more sustainable outcomes for the whole system.

Leadership doesn’t get lighter on its own. It gets lighter when it’s supported.
