Ready to Break the Rules and Redefine Leadership?

Hello, Powerhouse Leaders!

You’re here because you’re ready to break barriers, shatter glass ceilings, and redefine what leadership—or entrepreneurship—looks like on your own terms. It’s time to stop playing by outdated rules and start creating a path that’s entirely yours.
For over 20 years, I’ve seen it: brilliant women stepping boldly into their power, rewriting the script, and transforming not just their careers, but their industries. At Design Not Default Academy, we’re not about following the norm—we’re about disrupting it.

That’s why I developed Disruptive Leadership—a transformative framework built for women like you. Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, aiming for the C-suite, or forging your entrepreneurial path, this framework empowers you to rise above the default and design a future that aligns with your vision. Within this framework, we use the neoteric I.D.E.A. model—a powerful, actionable roadmap designed to Ignite, Disrupt, Empower, and Ascend. Each stage of the model challenges the status quo and helps you transform from where you are now to where you’re destined to be.

I’ve witnessed the transformational power of women who refuse to settle for “good enough” and instead lead with clarity, courage, and creativity. This isn’t just about personal growth – it’s about collective impact. When you step into your full potential, you change everything: your life, your organization, and the world and here’s the best part: as you break through, you bring others along with you! Your journey doesn’t just disrupt norms; it sets new standards—whether you’re redefining leadership in your company or breaking ground as an entrepreneur here’s what you can expect when you join our movement:

  • No More Limits: Gain the tools to disrupt the barriers holding you back and redefine success on your terms.
  • Intentional Transformation: This is deep, transformational work—not surface-level fixes. You’ll awaken the disruptor within and take bold, deliberate action.
  • A Community of Trailblazers: Surround yourself with an exclusive circle of like-minded women—corporate leaders, changemakers, and entrepreneurs—who will challenge, inspire, and elevate you.
  • A Proven Framework for Growth: Whether you’re stepping into leadership or building your empire, our Disruptive Leadership framework and the I.D.E.A. model will guide you every step of the way.


No more waiting. No more default. Your journey begins now. Own your future. Rewrite the rules. It’s time to create a legacy that disrupts, challenges, and inspires. This is your moment to step up, act, and design a future that’s unapologetically yours.
