Leadership Development
Our Leadership Conferences and Retreats provide systems-impacted women with the protected time and inclusive environment needed to focus on personal and professional growth. These multi-day gatherings leverage evidence-based practices—such as interactive workshops, mentorship opportunities, and mindfulness exercises—to enhance leadership skills, build resilience, and foster meaningful networks.
Research shows that retreats offering childcare, scholarships, and affordable options significantly reduce barriers to access, enabling broader participation. By addressing these challenges, we create a space where women can connect, lead, and thrive, shaping a more equitable future for themselves and their communities
Leadership Retreats & Conferences
Our leadership coaching empowers women, especially those affected by systemic inequities, to develop confidence, resilience, and the skills needed to lead their lives and communities effectively. Research highlights that women, particularly from marginalized backgrounds, face significant barriers to accessing leadership development opportunities. Tailored coaching not only bridges this gap but also fosters psychological capital—hope, optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience—proven traits for thriving leaders.
Using evidence-based practices such as goal-setting, cognitive reframing, and inclusive leadership models, we provide tools to navigate systemic challenges and create transformative change. Together, we build a foundation for equitable leadership and economic justice.
Leadership Coaching
The Amplify Fellowship is a 6-month leadership program designed to empower women through personalized coaching, group leadership development, a weekend retreat, and network expansion. This program brings together marginalized women and those currently in or aspiring to leadership roles, fostering mutual growth and understanding. Participants gain essential leadership skills, build social capital, and create lasting professional connections, preparing them to lead effectively and inspire change in their communities and beyond.

Our Leadership Conferences and Retreats provide transformative experiences designed to empower women, particularly those who are systems-impacted. These immersive multi-day events offer a rare opportunity for participants to step away from their daily responsibilities, focus on personal and professional growth, and build meaningful networks.
Leadership retreats are a powerful tool for development, offering dedicated time and space for women to engage deeply in self-reflection, skill-building, and connection. Research highlights the value of such gatherings, especially for women who often face systemic barriers like high costs, lack of childcare, and limited workplace support. For example, less than 25% of leadership development programs cater to mid-career women, despite their unique needs and potential to advance organizational diversity and equity efforts.

Barriers to Access
Many women, especially those from underrepresented or systems-impacted groups, face challenges in accessing professional development opportunities. Financial barriers, inaccessible event locations, and a lack of supportive policies (e.g., childcare provisions) further widen the gap, leaving them excluded from transformative experiences like leadership conferences
At Paco, we adopt proven methodologies to maximize impact, such as small-group sessions for deep interaction, goal-setting workshops, and mindfulness practices to foster resilience. These elements not only support individual growth but also create ripple effects across communities and organizations.
Benefits & Best Practices
Enhanced Leadership Skills: Retreats emphasizing authentic leadership, emotional intelligence, and decision-making have higher long-term impact.

Our Leadership Coaching Services are designed to provide women with tailored coaching that strengthens their leadership capabilities and opens pathways to advancement. Women who have faced systemic barriers often lack access to quality leadership development, which limits opportunities for career growth and community impact. This program bridges that gap by offering evidence-based coaching practices proven to foster effective leadership.
Leadership coaching is crucial for career progression and organizational effectiveness, yet studies show that women, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds, are significantly underrepresented in leadership roles and rarely receive targeted coaching. According to research, only a small fraction of professional development programs cater to underrepresented groups, leaving systems-impacted women without the resources to develop leadership skills that can catalyze change in their lives and communities.

Supporting the Amplify Fellowship means investing in the leaders of today and tomorrow. This program not only empowers individual women but also drives forward a more equitable and interconnected community. Your involvement helps women overcome barriers, build lasting networks, and step confidently into leadership roles that inspire and influence positive change.
The Amplify Fellowship is a transformative 6-month leadership program designed to empower women by fostering leadership skills, expanding networks, and building social capital. This fellowship uniquely brings together two distinct groups: half of the participants are marginalized women, while the other half are women currently in or aspiring to leadership positions. This dynamic creates an enriching environment where diverse perspectives converge, fostering mutual learning and growth.
Leadership pathways often lack inclusivity and diverse representation, making it challenging for women, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds, to access the skills and networks needed for advancement. The Amplify Fellowship bridges this gap, equipping women with the tools, confidence, and connections to lead effectively and inspire change within their spheres of influence.
