There’s a lot we carry as leaders that never makes it onto the agenda.
- The hard decision you’re circling.
- The conversation you’re avoiding.
- The imposter syndrome that somehow still sneaks in, even at senior levels.
- The “what if I get this wrong?” spiral at 2am.

So… we’re trying something new.
Introducing frank Parlour Sessions.

Small, honest online conversations for mid-to-senior women leaders who want a space to think out loud, get perspective & talk through the stuff that leadership books don’t cover.

No panels, no posturing, no pretending everything is figured out. Just smart women in the room together talking about what’s real.

If this sounds like something you need right now, come join us on Friday, June 12 from 12:00-1:00pm & bring the thing that’s keeping you up at night.

Behind every Women’s Leadership Lab cohort are the conversations you don’t see. The honest ones, the challenging ones, and the ones that change how women show up at work and in their careers.

Reading these testimonials reminds me why we started this: to create a space where women can think bigger, speak more openly, support each other, and leave with real tools and real connections.

The impact lasts longer than just one day. It shows up in how they run meetings, ask for opportunities, manage teams, negotiate, and make career decisions months and years later.

Very grateful to the incredible women who continue to trust us with these conversations.

Join us on April 23rd at the next Women’s Leadership Lab in partnership with Women in Tech® Canada. 🔗Register via link in bio.

Building Frank Women’s Leadership has been one of the most meaningful and challenging journeys of my career.

What started as a simple idea to create more honest conversations around leadership, ambition, and growth has evolved into something far greater than I ever imagined. Today, it’s a community of thoughtful, driven, and generous women who continue to inspire me every single day.

I’m honoured to share that I’ve been nominated for a “Promie” (ProMontreal Entrepreneur Hub Award), recognizing Jewish entrepreneurs in Montreal.

This nomination really belongs to the incredible people I’ve had the chance to learn from, collaborate with & build alongside. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. Feeling grateful, and very excited for what’s ahead.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting Jessica Weiss at the Frank Book Club to discuss her book “Happiness Works” and the conversation challenged many of the traditional ideas we have about leadership.

One of the biggest takeaways from our discussion was this: happiness at work is not a reward for success, it’s a driver of success. Leaders often focus on results first and culture second, but the research and experience Jessica shared suggest that when people feel trusted, connected & valued, performance follows.

A few leadership lessons that stayed with our group:

• Trust is built in small moments, not big speeches. Consistency, transparency, and follow-through matter more than grand gestures.

• Leaders are culture creators whether they realize it or not. Your mood, your reactions, and your behavior set the tone for your team every day.

• Happiness at work does not mean everything is easy or positive. It means people feel safe to speak up, take risks, fail & grow.

Thank you to everyone in the Frank community who continues to show up curious, thoughtful, and committed to becoming better leaders.

And we’re back! Nogol and I are taking on the 2026 spring edition of the Women’s Leadership Lab, along with , on April 23.

Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to work with leaders, teams, and organizations navigating growth, change, and big decisions. One thing we’ve seen again and again is that leadership doesn’t happen in isolation. People lead better when they have space to think, talk, challenge ideas & learn from each other.

Join us for a day designed for real conversations, practical insight and the kind of discussions that don’t usually happen in the day-to-day. The goal is greater than to talking about leadership. We’ll walk away with new perspectives, better questions, and practical ways to lead differently.

If that sounds like something you or someone on your team would benefit from, we’d love to have you join us.

❓Question: Are we giving women leaders in the non-profit sector the space and support to lead at the level that’s now required?

Too often, they’re navigating complexity, growth, and pressure in isolation.
More responsibility. Higher expectations. Very little room to think.
That’s exactly why we created Advancement+.

A curated leadership cohort designed for women in non-profit who are ready to:
• sharpen their strategic thinking
• expand their influence and confidence
• connect with peers who truly understand the realities of the sector
• and lead forward with greater clarity and momentum

This is not another program to “add on.” It’s an investment in how leadership actually happens ➡️ through reflection, challenge, and the right conversations in the right room.

For organizations, sponsoring a leader isn’t just support, it’s strategy.
Stronger leaders create stronger teams, better decisions, and more sustainable impact.

If 2026 is a year to elevate, I’d love to have you (or someone on your team) in the room.

Big leadership moments rarely happen alone.
They happen when bold women gather around the table, share the real challenges, exchange honest feedback, and push each other forward.

That’s the spirit behind the Women’s Leadership Lab, we are thrilled to launch our spring 2026 edition in partnership with

This immersive leadership experience brings together accomplished women in tech (in both technical and non-technical roles) for a day of collaboration, experimentation, and powerful conversations designed to expand how we lead.

Participants engage in interactive sessions focused on culture, connection, and collaboration while gaining practical leadership tools they can immediately apply in their teams and organizations.

The goal is simple: Create a room where smart women think together, challenge assumptions, and leave stronger than when they arrived.

Get ready to sharpen your leadership and plug into a dynamic community of women building the future of leadership.
