The more I worked with these smart, funny and often sad and misunderstood individuals, the more intrigued I became with psychology and the role that emotions play in our personalities. Rather than telling people what to do, supporting them to take action and move forward in those tasks they'd been avoiding turned out to be half the magic.
I came up with principles and processes for applying the same "find your own way" concept to business productivity and growth. I saw incredible changes in the way that people were able to streamline and grow their businesses.
In the last decade, neuroscience has caught up with a lot of my observations and explained them scientifically, such as how shame measurably interferes with decision-making, creativity and higher level problem solving.
The effective programs, memberships, and consulting that are offered by CEO Rise are all a direct result of my lifetime of work, years of education and experimentation, and natural business intuition.
Not only have I pulled from my own varied business experiences, but have also seen behind-the-scenes of dozens of other businesses and hundreds of entrepreneurs that I've consulted for - continuously perfecting my product suite.
One thing that sets CEO Rise apart from the rest is that we honor the fact that we are working with individual humans and brains. While our programs are created with strategic processes, they have a built-in flexibility that allows you to define how you do business, your way!
CEO Rise is here to help you clear the clutter, pave your own path, and gain the tools to problem solve in a way that resonates with your unique brain & spirit, calm your nervous system, and support your team.
Hi, I'm Leah, the Founder of CEO Rise and philanthropist co-founder of Cultivar Cartagena, otherwise known as the Jewish Mother Dominatrix.
Growing up, I was a messy kid with "lots of potential" that I never seemed to live up to, and it never sat well with me. I knew there had to be a way to tap into the natural gifts of non-linear thinking and still be as successful as those neat, organized people.
For the first 10 years of my business I worked as a Professional Organizer ultimately specializing in hoarders threatened with eviction in New York City. I learned, very tangibly, how to help people cut out the things they don't need, get clear on the things they do, and work with their unique way of thinking to make changes for the long term.
