Side by Side, We Rise
Systems in the majority of organizations still do not fully support women’s professional development. We have a lot to do in changing policies, overcoming biases and raising general awareness of the situation. At the same time, we can claim our own agency by shifting the mindsets and behaviors that block our professional goals and progression. One of the best ways I’ve found to break through the physical and mental roadblocks is to engage with a community of women experiencing similar circumstances and eager to learn together.

Why Group Coaching?
Group coaching combines elements of individual coaching with the benefits of a supportive peer group environment, where participants learn from the coach and each other. Each session will include a content brief, facilitated discussions and problem-solving. The key benefits of group coaching include:
· Collective Learning: You’ll experience different perspectives and insights informed by different experiences.
· Goal-focused: We’ll identify our own individual goal(s) for the program. As a group, we’ll focus on common themes identified by the group to overcome challenges that prevent our individual progress.
· Facilitated Dialogue: Through curated content review, active inquiry, connective listening, open dialogue and exercises, we’ll address pressing challenges as a group.
· Accountability and Support: We’ll build a “forever” community of support, while holding each other accountable to our goals.
What Does Participation Look Like?:
· Side by Side We Rise is a four (4) month program with a “rolling admission” – you can join anytime
· Two (2) group coaching sessions/month with a brief content review followed by facilitated discussion and coaching focused on your particular challenges
· Access to resources including worksheets, reference articles & content videos, and action plans to support your own personal development
· A 30 minute intro 1:1 launch call to understand your challenges, focus your goal(s) for the program PLUS two 50 minute 1:1 coaching sessions during the program

The Value to You:
Here’s what former Side by Side We Rise participants had to say about the program:
“Joining Side by Side was truly pivotal for me. I started with the group immediately after a layoff and with the insights I gained and encouragement I received, am now stepping into a new career opportunity. I’m so grateful for how meaningfully the experience supported my growth.”
“This program gave me the confidence and energy to make small changes with the potential for big impact. Both the content and the company pushed me to really think about what I want to do next professionally, and how to turn those goals into action. Thank you!”

About Me
What have I learned when a group of women get together in a room? We lift each other up, we create an energy like no other, and we learn from each other without judgement.
I’m Ann Bailey, Executive Coach, Leadership Development Advisor, Mediator and Speaker. I’m deeply passionate about empowering people and teams to realize their full potential by breaking through barriers, solving problems, and making a lasting impact. I’m not about fancy labels and theoretical models. I bring 30+ years of lived leadership experience, coupled with expertise in executive coaching and conflict management to help unlock the capabilities that drive success for individuals and teams. I’ve been a leader of teams as well as a consultant in human experience, leader development and high performing teams. I’m also a wife, mother of now adult children and a daughter of an elderly parent. I’ve experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly of the professional world. I know what it’s like to be a part of and to lead a great team, and I know what it’s like to feel like you’re not in the right place professionally and how to carve out a path to success, all the while working to ensure my family life thrives as well. My career has always been guided by my values of service, integrity, excellence, and especially continuous learning. I would love to partner with you to support your professional and personal growth!
