Making Room For You Salons
It’s an honour and a delight to be co-leading the Salons with my dear friend and colleague, Barbara Frensel.
The MAKING ROOM FOR YOU Salons are in-person gatherings dedicated to exploring all things curious, confounding, groundbreaking and expanding about being a woman in this time. We curate topics and generative conversations, held with a bold intention to create the conditions and possibility for enhanced wellbeing, connection to self and a deepened sense of purpose and leadership.
This is a permission field for exploration, a safe space to be seen and heard, a community of curiosity and enquiry, a sharing of what’s up in the books we are reading, the thought leaders we are listening to and our own musings and insights and how we can utilize them to resource and uplift us all.
Take a Seat at the Table
If you are like us, you are inspired and expanded by other women who are exploring new territory and on their own path of inquiry. We meet in curiosity and openness, with a willingness to deeply listen to ourselves and others. Whether sharing and expressing, or on an interior exploration, we collectively benefit and contribute, amplify connection, and hold space for a coming home to self, that’s nearly impossible without the witnessing of others.
If you feel called, we invite you to listen to your inner yes, and join us at the table (actually, in Milisa’s warm and welcoming living room). If you’re new to the Salons, we look forward to making room for you – please take no more than 5 minutes to complete this simple questionnaire here. Your answers will help us get to know you better and make the Salon experience as powerful as possible.
Meet Your Facilitators
The two of us share a deep devotion to supporting women in their growth and unfolding. Our work is informed by women’s centered coaching, and we are fierce ‘power partners’ in our own ongoing learning. We have joined forces to host coaching and learning environments that leverage and amplify personal and leadership development through the power of community. We have been facilitating women’s circles together for the past 3 years and are the co-developers of “Radical Resilience”, a corporate group coaching program designed to support women in their evolution as leaders and change makers.
Milisa Burns
I embody a gentle and fierce stand for professional women in stressful environments who want to live according to their own definitions of work-life balance, leadership and success. As a certified coach and award-winning certified facilitator, I guide my clients to live, work and succeed at their highest levels without sacrificing their well-being or their joy.
Barbara Frensel
As a business and leadership coach and entrepreneur, I am all too familiar with the "focus on results and edit out parts of me that are not value-add" productivity formula that burns out passion, presence and capacity and disconnects us from ourselves. I work with individuals and teams to challenge traditional models and expand their own formulas for meaning, success, fulfillment and impact.
