What is Rise and Lead?
Rise and Lead is a 6-month comprehensive women’s leadership transformational training and coaching program for emerging, rising, and established women leaders to confidently make their greatest impact and contribution.
Rise and Lead unleashes the potential of high-achieving and high-talent women, empowering them to confidently bring their best selves forward to create greater impact, possibility and contribution.
This powerful program ends the patterns of self-doubt, self-criticism and self-sabotage that can hold highly successful women back from experiencing their greatness so they can be change-makers in their organizations and in the world. It is designed to ensure women have fulfilling careers and become star leaders, without sacrificing their personal lives and burning out.
Tell me if this sounds like you...
- You’ve busted your ass to create an amazing career and fulfilling personal life, but the balancing act is now unbearable.
- Every time you look up the ladder to the next level in your career you feel like you sabotage yourself because the person above you is miserable or overworking and you don’t want to sacrifice your personal happiness or time with your family to achieve professional success.
- You have this deep knowing that you’re destined for greatness, but you can’t seem to help thinking you’re a fraud or imposter...that you’re not good enough.
- You feel stuck in a lower-tier management position or at a certain level of success, making mediocre money, and fear you’ll never realize your potential...when deep down inside, you know you’re worth more.
- You're driving yourself to exhaustion trying to be, do, and have it all— yes, you know you can do and be anything, but you feel pressured to do and be everything.
- You chronically compare yourself to others, setting unrealistic expectations, and striving for perfection. You try to get more done in a day than is humanly possible and always feel like no matter how much you do, there’s always more.
- You feel like the world is on your shoulders. You crawl into bed with your phone and to do list, and you wake up with it racing through your head first thing every morning. It's all too easy to feel like you're failing and will never measure up.
I see you and feel you. I've been there myself and I've coached women for decades who feel the exact same way. You are not alone!
- You're ready to deepen your impact and make your brightest contribution.
- You're sick and tired of playing a man's game and yearn to create a game that is joyful, fun and winnable.
- You feel a calling to step into more leadership in your family, community, and career... you know deep down you're destined for more.
- You align with progressive values, believe in social justice and anti-racism work, and are committed to being a part of the solution.
- You want to release being so hard on yourself and struggling with self-doubt or feeling like an imposter.
- You often underestimate yourself, while simultaneously feeling powerful, and you're ready to release that paradox and truly step into your power.
- You sense that being in a circle with other powerful, ambitious, inspiring women that are truly supportive, would be life-changing.
Specifically, Rise and Lead is for 3 types of women:
---> Established Women Leaders Addicted to Achievement
You've worked your ass off to get where you are, but you never take time to actually ENJOY the success you've worked so hard for, let alone have a life outside of your career. I know you feel pulled in a million directions and work/life balance feels impossible. It's time for you to step out of your achievement addiction and become a Rise and Lead woman!
---> Rising & Emerging Women Leaders Who Feel Not Enough and Like a Fraud
You're a badass woman on the rise in your career and you think when you get that next promotion, raise, or job you'll finally own how amazing you are and stop feeling like an imposter. But the truth is that this feeling of not being enough will follow you no matter how high you climb unless you find your authentic Rise and Lead confidence. Now is your time to rise into your own personal power and authentic, healthy ambition so that you can realize your full potential, own your worth, and achieve success on your terms once and for all.
---> Women Entrepreneurs, Founders, and Business Owners on the Rise
You are a brave, creative, independent woman leader who has forged her own path. You've created success on your own terms and with your own rules, but you can't help but feel exhausted from it all and are burning out. Perhaps you created an insatiable monster of a business that wants your attention every minute of every day and that freedom you were seeking by starting your own company is no where to be found. It's time to re-align your business and become a Rise and Lead business owner.

Who created this program?
Hi. I'm Amy Ahlers...
I’m on a mission to STOP women from being so darn hard on themselves so they can rise and up-level to make their brightest contribution. I’ve been a Certified Coach specializing in women’s leadership since 2000.
I deliver keynotes on stages at places like Google, Oracle and Charles Schwab and have been on countless TV and radio shows.
I’m the Bestselling Author of two books: Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves (New World Library) and Reform Your Inner Mean Girl: 7 Steps to Stop Bullying Yourself & Start Loving Yourself (Simon & Schuster) which are love letters to women that are hard on themselves.
I coach women leaders at some of the biggest companies in the world and have noticed a troubling pattern; women chronically second guess themselves, work to exhaustion, and are at the risk of burn out. I created Rise and Lead to change all of that!
Fun facts you may not know about me:
- I am addicted to hot sauce (bring on the Cholula and Tapatio - NEVER Tabasco!).
- I love dance breaks and karaoke...we have a karaoke set up at home, complete with disco lights.
- In my 20s I worked at Club Med and got to travel to amazing places!
- Most importantly, I'm the mom of two firecracker daughters and the wife of over 20 years, to my beloved husband, Rob. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and most mornings you’ll find me doing a dance party with my wacky family with a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. :)
Why did I create Rise and Lead?
I wanted to create a powerful accelerator to teach the best of the best of everything I've learned as a coach, trainer, speaker, author, and leader for over two decades. I'm ready to share it all with as many women leaders as possible.
Rise and Lead is my contribution to create more positive change in the world. I want more women leaders in all the rooms where decisions are made. I want more women using their voices and speaking out like never before. I want to see inspiring women leaders we can believe in. Let's do this!
Ready to take the next step?
You have two options:
Continue going it alone, struggling with self-confidence and self-doubt, not rising to the level of leadership you know you deserve, and living on the edge of burnout
OR
finally uplevel to the income, impact, and influence you deserve with joy and confidence.
It's time to stop letting self-doubt and imposter syndrome block your success and start rising to the level of leadership you deserve and desire.
Availability is limited.
Apply today to get the ball rolling.
We look forward to your application!
