You cannot access what you know from a dysregulated state.

Lead Elevated is the leadership and sales operating system for women in enterprise revenue roles. Alignment, with values, purpose, and actions in one line, is the root system. Elevation is what grows from it.

What We Believe

We hold every woman creative, resourceful and whole.

Regulation isn't soft. It's how you access everything you've earned.

The frameworks were built without us at the design table. We're not asking for a seat. We're building the table.

Receipts over theory.

Perfection is self-harm. Alignment is the standard.

The Gap

You have read the books. You have done the frameworks. You can explain every one of them and still walk out of a pipeline review knowing you had the answer and could not reach it.

Built by women who carried the number.

For 120 years, the frameworks that run organizations were built without women at the design table. Lead Elevated closes that gap: leadership and sales training for women in enterprise revenue, taught by women who carried the quota, not concepts about them.

What We Offer

Leadership · Sales · Coaching: designed by women, for women

COHORT ONE · TORONTO · OCTOBER 2026

The Elevated Cohort

Six weeks. Two days in the room, four weeks online. Twelve to twenty women who carry a number: founders scaling a business, and women in enterprise revenue roles. Week one names what a hundred years of sales and leadership training left out, and shows you the physiology of why you can't access what you know when you're depleted. Weeks two through five run the five moves. Week six sets your terms: money, time, scope, and a 90-day plan you can hold when you're tired.

Week-0 / week-6 diagnostic. You leave with a measured delta, not a feeling.

CA$7,500 per person

What the Frameworks Left Out

Calm is not the opposite of revenue. It's the condition for it.

The frameworks measured men under achievement stress. Nobody measured women under evaluation stress. Women lose sleep first, deplete first, and are told to push through. We teach the mechanism and the five moves that reverse it.

The Five Pillars

A living root system.

The leadership and sales operating system for women in enterprise revenue roles. Five pillars. One diagnostic. Measured twice: week 0 and week 12.

Root

Regulated state. You cannot access what you know from a dysregulated state.

Forge

Care personally, challenge directly, from state. Vulnerability and strength off the same ground.

Clarity

See the asymmetric data underneath the tools, the evaluations and the AI systems that judge you. Bias is data, not opinion.

Network

Relational power built deliberately: sponsorship, coalition, making leaders of others.

Terms

Negotiate the structure you and your people stand on. Outcomes, conditions, legacy.

Built across 25 years running enterprise data-stack revenue teams: Talend, Qlik, TIBCO, Information Builders. It holds up against the peer-reviewed physiology.

The Missing Half

Feminine Leadership as a Performance System

Leadership and sales frameworks were built for one temperament and taught to everyone. Tara spent 25 years carrying enterprise quota inside those frameworks. This talk shows what performance looks like when you add the half they left out. It is a performance system with receipts, not a values talk. You cannot access what you know from a dysregulated state.

Best for: Women-in-leadership summits, ERG and leadership conferences, CRO and CHRO offsites

The Quota Receipts

Sales Leadership and 25 Years of Carrying the Number

The sales-kickoff talk. $24M ARR preserved through a live acquisition at 100% retention. 268% of quota in a restructure. What the number teaches about how women lead and sell. Receipts, not concepts about them.

Best for: Sales kickoffs, enablement summits, revenue leadership teams

The Coherence Advantage

Why Regulated Leaders Outperform

Strategy fails when the leader's inner state is out of line with it. For executive and mixed-leadership audiences: a repeatable way to regulate under pressure, align identity with decisions, and lead teams that move without friction. Organizations are nervous systems.

Best for: Executive summits, leadership offsites, high-growth tech

Base Camp Is the Summit

Growth Through Fear, Doubt and a Finish Line That Moves

Tara was never trying to summit Everest. Base Camp was the goal, and she got there on two hikes of training and one sentence: one foot in front of the other. The same discipline carried $24M in ARR through a live acquisition where the finish line moved weekly. Growth when the market shifts and the obstacles arrive anyway. Fear came with her the whole way. It never got a vote.

Best for: Company-wide events and conferences, teams in a hard stretch, women's leadership and growth programs, retreats

Half-Day Workshop

Terms: Negotiating the Structure You Stand On, Not Just the Number

The fifth pillar, taught as a working session. Runs standalone or inside the Elevated Cohort and Corporate License.

Formats: 45–60 minute keynote · half-day workshop · leadership offsite · 3-day retreat. Keynotes & corporate training CA$12K–$20K.

The Founder

I built this because I needed it.

For twenty-five years I carried a number. Talend, Qlik, TIBCO, Information Builders. Regional VP roles, restructures, an acquisition where we held $24M in ARR and lost no one. I was good at it. I was also, for most of it, running on a nervous system that was quietly on fire.

What I understand now is that I was not underperforming when I was dysregulated. I was performing beautifully and paying for it somewhere else. The bill always comes.

Lead Elevated is what I wish someone had built while I was still climbing. Not a mindset course. The operating system. Five moves, measured twice, taught by women who carried the quota rather than concepts about them.
