DALISIA
Hi, I’m Dalisia...
I am a speaker, coach, consultant, and author with a passion for helping talented leaders return to their unique power and impact in our world. But I started in the trenches, quite literally, leading in military units and eventually corporate and federal organizations.
My mission now is to educate, advocate and rally support for the women who have what it takes to change their organizations and communities. I specialize in dissolving unconscious bias and resistance to women’s leadership and celebrating inclusive leaders and teams.

My Story
Perhaps like you, I’ve always been the strong one in the bunch, wherever I landed–whether in a classroom, in the military, in relationships, or in my career. I spent decades learning to soften and adjust for others–to the point of almost losing my true self.
I chose to stop that spiral and regain my unique identity by exploring the roots of resistance to female leadership and sharing how we can overcome it to change our world for the better. My work clarifies what’s really going on behind people’s labels and isolation of assertive women who lead.
Why I care... a lot!
Every global and local crisis could be solved by restoring women to their rightful place of co-leadership in our world. Confident women leaders must be allowed to lead without the social hurdles of resistance and conflict.
When the world tells us we are too outspoken, direct, driven, etc., we begin apologizing for ourselves, changing for others to earn their acceptance…and it’s never enough. Women leaders must overcome this cycle and change our world for the better!
