IGNITE: Design Your Creative Purpose – A 12-Week Program for Female Leaders & Professionals 

IGNITE is the best program I've ever taken. My creative confidence grew in leaps and bounds!

Listen, I've taken multiple online courses, but none have come close to the level of engagement, support, learning, and personal growth I experienced in IGNITE. When I started, I wasn't sure what my creative idea was or whether I was ready to fully dive into a new project. It all felt overwhelming and big. Majo encouraged me to jump in anyway. The promise of a structured program, combined with the accountability of the group, was different from any previous coaching I had done. I believed I could get more results with that level of support and attention. And I was right! I led multiple workshops which were a huge success and garnered praise from my client, all while spending less time preparing and stressing than I normally would. By taking action, and observing my emotions and resistance around that action, I was able to articulate clearly where I get hung up. I learned how to move through those hang ups so I actually put my ideas and creativity out into the world. Majo does a superb job of creating a container for women to play and grow. The growth we all achieved was astounding.

I gave myself permission to invest in making something, not for the sake of putting it on my LinkedIn, or having it be a tech career accolade, but for the sake of realizing a vision I wanted to see in the world.

I had many doubts before enrolling in IGNITE. Mainly, “Should I be spending this much?” I never spent that much on personal development before. My company had always paid for coaching! I also wondered, “Is this where I should focus my time and energy for the next couple months?” It’s not related to climbing my career ladder and I had always done things to gain that credential. But  I felt a calling to help people find connection and romance. The idea wouldn’t leave me alone, and I knew deep down, it was something that needed expression, so I said yes even though I was in the middle of job-interviewing. All I can say is that IGNITE was worth the investment. I was worth the investment. I gave myself permission to invest in making something, not for the sake of putting it on my LinkedIn, or having it be a tech career accolade, but for the sake of realizing a vision I wanted to see in the world. Through IGNITE, I ran three successful prototypes, culminating in afinal experience that reflected my authentic vision (one person even said it was the best experience they had ever attended in NYC!). I ignited a service I am continuing, and am even partnering with a dating app to bring it to the next level. I gained courage around my voice, and built a habit of talking about my idea in public. And bonus I didn’t expect: IGNITE helped me become a more creatively confident leader at my full-time job too. I am better at processing feedback, and am taking more risks because I just know I’ll figure it out. I know it can feel scary to take the plunge (trust me, I’ve been there–!), but I have absolutely no regrets.

I reached out before I was ready and got a literary agent. 

I joined IGNITE because I had a flicker of an idea to write and illustrate a graphic novel memoir for kids. But I found that working a full-time job while trying to fulfill your creative purpose is ridiculously challenging. I tried to make time for the novel on my own, but work always won out at the end of the day. Then I heard about IGNITE, but to be honest, I had never done an online group coaching program so the investment felt like a real stretch. Putting that deposit down and saying yes to myself was the first step in truly committing to this little dream (no more excuses!). Thanks to IGNITE, I reached out to literary agents for feedback before I felt anywhere close to "ready," and actually landed an agent I’m so excited about! And trust me, I felt BIG time resistance before sending out those outreach emails. Who am I to bother these awesome people, what should even I ask them, will this seem offbase and tactless? The program provided the coaching and accountability to take that crucial step I wouldn’t have done on my own. It also provided me with a deeper understanding of my own resistance, fears, and how some of my good girl conditioning was holding me back from sharing my truth and story. As part of my final prototype, I ended up sharing drafts of my work with friends and family and coming out to them about family secrets I had never shared. It took a lot of bravery and I wouldn’t have done it without the support and encouragement of other women in IGNITE. I feel proud and happy to have pushed myself to play at that edge because I've now seen that work pay off. If you want to learn ways to overcome resistance and have real accountability around your creative purpose, take IGNITE.

I am now creating the event I had dreamt up for years.

I was initially hesitant about committing to IGNITE because of the time commitment. As a product leader at a tech startup, there were already not enough hours in the day, but the longing to launch a women’s leadership event was building inside of me, and I thought if not now, when?

 I had worked with Majo one-on-one in her coaching practice, and trusted her as I was embarking on this process, but could not have ever imagined the level of excellence in which she executed this program. The flow, curriculum, and rhythm were perfect, and she managed to fulfill a role of both empowering leader to push us to our edge, while maintaining warmth, kindness, and well, fun. I’m forever grateful for this experience and know it’s just the beginning of a journey.

 I am now creating the event I had dreamt up for years with female leaders from around the country coming to attend. It’s a really cool and exciting feeling!

I went from zero to coaching 4 women and launched my new event series. 

 I was initially worried if I had enough time and energy to put toward this program. It's intense, and designed that way for a reason! As someone who works around the clock, I couldn’t imagine dedicating a few hours a week to something outside of my full-time job. But then I realized I needed to prioritize it. What could be more important than your creative purpose? In fact, I ended up asking my company to sponsor me to take IGNITE as a way to jumpstart my creative juices and hit "reset" since I had been feeling overwhelmed and burned out. 

 And thanks to IGNITE, I stirred up those creative juices and went from zero to coaching 4 women and launching a new event series. If I hadn’t said yes to this opportunity, I would still just be talking about and daydreaming of my idea instead of making it happen. 

 IGNITE works because it strikes the perfect balance between holding space and pushing you to live on your creative edge. Majo provides a much-needed environment for women to share, grow, learn and be seen. Whether you're starting a new business, designing a product, making art, hosting an event or working on a new creative purpose project, IGNITE will give you a community of support and the accountability to turn your creative dream into reality.
