Leadership looks good on you
good conversation, good company, and someone with a PhD who won't let you think small.
Leadership development isn't just for the girlies gunning for CEO.
It's for the friend who somehow always ends up running the group chat. The one who mediates every conflict before anyone else notices there is one.
It's for the woman who wants to change things in her neighborhood, her workplace, her family, her industry but hasn't been handed a title that gives them "permission" yet.
It's for the new manager who's great at her job and terrified she's going to ruin someone's career. For the woman who keeps getting told she's "a lot." For the one who shrinks herself in rooms where she's actually the smartest person there.
It's for the PTA mom who's quietly running an entire operation. The grad student navigating politics she didn't sign up for. The creative who built a following and suddenly has a team. The activist who needs to move people, not just post about it.
This is leadership development for her.
But with better snacks, more glitter, and no PowerPoint.
You already know the night: someone's house, good wine, the friends who just get it. The ones you vent to, celebrate with, and honestly learn the most from.
What if that night also left you with a vision for where you're headed?
Think of it as adding one more to the group chat. Except this one has a PhD and absolutely no chill about helping women realize how powerful they already are.
Mind Mapping Sessions
if vision boarding went to therapy and got her life together
It's the version where you don't just cut out pretty pictures. You walk away knowing exactly who you are, what you're building, and why it matters.
Think: clarity with a glass of wine or mocktail in hand.
Not just pretty. A real, living map of who you are, what you stand for, and where you're going whether that's a corner office, a community you're building, or just finally having language for
”the thing” you've been trying to articulate for years. We call it a Mind Map because the best leaders always know where they're headed. Even when the route changes.
AND there's science behind this. When you build a visual map of your values, your strengths, and where you're headed, you're not just making something pretty — you're encoding identity. Research shows that externalizing who you are makes you significantly more likely to actually live it. Your brain remembers what your hands make. And when your girls are in the room when you make it? They become your hype squad. The ones who'll remind you what you said when you forget.
Rooted in the Painted Wolf Leadership Framework. Wrapped in the energy of a paint-and-sip with your most ambitious friends with zero corporate vibes.
What to expect:
A short, engaging intro to the Painted Wolf Leadership Framework (the PhD part but I promise it's fun)
Guided mind-mapping time where you actually create your map - stickers and all
A closing share where everyone reveals their maps and the group loses it in the best way
In-Person and Virtual Options Available
You read the book.
Now invite the author over.
Join Kels for a conversation-led evening unpacking Painted Wolves, the research, the real talk, and the part where everyone argues about which wolf they are. We'll laugh, we'll go deep, and you'll leave with something actually useful for leading in your life — from work to organizing Sunday brunch with the girls to total world domination.
I'll join your existing book club or host a night for friend groups, women's organizations, and corporate teams.
What to expect:
A real, unfiltered conversation about the book and the research behind it
Guided discussion questions that actually go somewhere
A personal reflection moment so you leave with something concrete
Your book club will never be the same.
You're welcome.
