we exist to break barriers in 
access to professional

our origin story

When our founder burned out in her 

first career, professional coaching 

gave her a lifeline. It worked so well, 

she became a coach herself-

determined to help others rebuild.

But she quickly hit a wall. Coaching 

transforms Ives, but at $272 per hour, 

most women can't access it. The gap 

between what works and who can 

afford it felt impossible to ignore.

In 2024, when the UN called the 

world to "Invest in Women" for 

International Women's Day, she made 

an offer free coaching to women who 

needed it most.

In 2024, when the UN called the 

world to "Invest in Women" for 

International Women's Day, she made 

an offer free coaching to women who 

needed it most.

The response was overwhelming. The 
need was undeniable.

Twenty-seven coaches stepped up to 
volunteer their time. Together, they 
donated over 200 hours to serve 97 
women and one nonprofit foundation 
partner-reaching 33 women in their 
grantee network.

The Glow Initiative was born that 
March-not from a business plan, but 
from a simple truth when we remove 
barriers to transformation,
extraordinary things happen.

Because together, we glow brighter.
