Our Story

Founder and visionary Dana Bristol-Smith, who discovered that her corporate Public Speaking and Leadership training had life-changing impact for professional women, woke one night with an idea and wrote the curriculum that became the backbone of our programs.

After learning of the huge unmet need for domestic violence victims to build their self-confidence to avoid returning to abusive partners, Bristol-Smith gathered experts—therapists, coaches, and trainers—to create a leadership program which she initially launched as a volunteer project with 6 participants.

These women have subsequently taken their message out to the community and have spoken to over 7,000 others in homeless shelters, schools, and other organizations.
