Empowering Executive Women with Authentic Coaching
Creator of Red Opium unveils a transformational course helping executive women reclaim confidence, set boundaries, and speak with unapologetic clarity
Internationally recognized fashion entrepreneur and professional counsellor Sandra Rives presents Unapologetically Authentic: Assertiveness and Boundaries for Executive Women, a unique 90-day coaching program designed specifically for women leaders over the age of 35. Drawing upon her extensive 18 years in counselling, education, and personal experiences, this program serves as an empowering reset for women yearning to reclaim their voices and authenticity in a demanding corporate world.
Breaking Through Barriers in a Corporate Setting
Sandra is a true trailblazer. Without any formal training in fashion, she skillfully transformed Red Opium by Sandra Rives into a renowned global brand, showcasing collections across various countries. A notable highlight of her journey includes her collaboration with renowned Aboriginal artist Peter Farmer, where she turned paper-based artworks into a striking resort collection that combined cultural respect with modern style, garnering accolades in the fashion industry.
This collection marked a pivotal moment in her career by establishing her artistry as transcendent. The individual behind the project not only shared Sandra's groundbreaking work but also introduced her to legendary designer Jimmy Choo, who crafted a custom pair of shoes inspired by Sandra's artistic vision. This connection is a testament to the impact her work has had and how true expressions of culture and creativity can connect diverse communities within the fashion landscape.
A Shift from Fashion to Empowerment
As Sandra transitions from fashion to coaching, she offers invaluable guidance to women looking to experience profound emotional and behavioral changes. Utilizing a trauma-informed biopsychosocial framework, she helps women break free from societal constraints and lead with confidence.
"This isn't surface-level empowerment," Rives emphasizes. "It's about recalibrating how women present themselves across various aspects of life, including business and personal relationships. Just as I highlighted in fashion, you don’t have to seek permission to establish your presence and achieve your goals. Today, I guide other women to navigate their journeys with confidence and clarity."
The Need for Change
The urgency for such programs is palpable. Research shows that a significant percentage of executive women feel pressured to sacrifice their authenticity for acceptance. Reports from KPMG indicate that nearly 69% of these women believe they must compromise their true selves to gain respect and recognition in their roles. Additionally, studies by Harvard Business Review reveal that 44% of women encounter difficulties in setting personal boundaries, contributing to their struggles. Meanwhile, a study conducted by Deloitte highlighted that 53% of senior women face mental health challenges linked to feelings of guilt when declining requests or expressing their needs.
Sandra's program integrates trauma-informed teaching, practical exercises, and personalized coaching, all tailored to assist high-achieving women in overcoming their tendencies to over-apologize while reinforcing their ability to establish and maintain boundaries.
