Who We Are

Who Do You Think You Are?

At The Sophisticated Strategist, we know that traditional strategies for career advancement often overlook the unique challenges women face. Standard advice to “take risks” or “negotiate harder” doesn’t account for the systemic barriers or the confidence gap women encounter in workplaces and beyond.

It’s no secret that women are often passed over for opportunities in male-dominated environments, where hiring decisions tend to favor individuals who look and think like their employers. Meanwhile, men frequently achieve success with half the competence and twice the confidence, highlighting the persistent biases at play.

But no one is coming to save us. Women must take charge of their futures by cultivating confidence, learning to advocate for their worth, and daring to claim what’s theirs. At The Sophisticated Strategist, we’re here to guide you through this transformative process. Our coaching services empower women to tackle ambitious goals while remaining deeply present for their families. We help you redefine what’s possible—whether that means pursuing a dream career, building your own business, or becoming a force for change in your community.

Through tailored strategies, we help women answer the question, “Who do you think you are?” Not with doubt, but with strength and purpose. Together, we’ll work to step boldly into your power and create a ripple effect of empowerment for others. When women rise, we rise together.
