RISE

You were never meant to fit the system.

Scale the company you are meant to lead, on your own terms. 

You know how to make things happen.
You’ve hit the milestones, grown the revenue, built the team, closed the deals.
But deep down, you know it’s costing you.

We live in a business ecosystem that wasn’t built for women.
Not for our cycles.
Not for our seasons.
Not for the way we birth ideas, build companies, and carry vision.

You don’t need another course on strategy or hacks.

You need a space where you can scale in a way

that feels right in your body,
where you stop pushing so hard and start attracting the right team, customers, and investors,
where your leadership expands without compromising who you are.

WHO RISE IS FOR

RISE is for founders scaling past €250k - and well into seven figures - who are done doing it the old way.

It’s for the women who are:

  • Building climate solutions, circular models, ethical value chains, or redefining their product categories.

  • Leading companies that challenge systems, not just chase market share.

  • Hungry for growth - but on their own terms.

Women ready to lead with more alignment, more spaciousness, and more power, without becoming one of the guys.

What you’ll get

Over four months, you’ll move through a transformative experience,
online and in person (optional), alongside a curated group of women who get it.

You’ll:

Align your growth systems (yes, including AI) with your mission

Build a team that takes true ownership

Integrate feminine and masculine energy in how you lead

Expand your business from a place of clarity, ease, and deep alignment

Shift from hustle to magnetism

Get access to community and a support squad for life

This isn’t just about scaling your company.
It’s about becoming the leader your next chapter needs.

MEET YOUR GUIDES

Elise Vroonland is a highly experienced leadership facilitator and embodiment expert, with 15+ years in corporate for clients like Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, and Philips. After leading high-stakes marketing teams and global projects, she made a radical shift - choosing to leave the restrictive corporate world to focus on supporting female leaders reconnect with their intuition, bodies, and true power. She understands not just the tactical side of growth and team culture, but the emotional and relational stakes behind it. She is also the co-founder of OneMillionWomen.

Rupda is one of the world’s most sought-after transformational facilitators. She even trained Tony Robbins (no kidding) and has over 35 years of experience guiding leaders through breakthroughs they didn’t even know they needed. Her gift? Getting straight to the heart of what’s holding you back, and moving it.

When Valerie experienced a retreat with Rupda, she knew two things to be true:

  1. She was the real deal.

  2. We needed her in RISE.

TESTIMONIALS (1:1 ELISE)

  • “What a journey our program has been over the past six months. Thank you for being there; there were deep lows and fantastic highs, and I learned so much from both. My biggest lessons are to trust my body, that not everything needs to come from my head, and that I can allow more softness in all aspects of my life. The combination of the sessions, which I found intense but very valuable, and the in between guidance ensured that I truly got everything I could out of this program and myself. You were constantly able to challenge me in the right way. I have truly been able to grow in every aspect as a person.

    Annet v. O, the Netherlands – Managing Founder

  • “I started my journey with a clear intention: I wanted to connect more deeply with my body and feelings. During the program, I learned a lot about recognizing the signals in my body and grounding myself in moments of tension or unease. I discovered how to connect, stay connected, and express myself earlier and more authentically in situations I previously wouldn’t.

    Elise is an amazing coach who challenged me at the right moments and guided me to see that it’s also okay to be gentle and kind to myself. It was a journey of self-discovery, transformation and heigtened awareness.”

    Dorian, the Netherlands & Sweden – Country Manager Nordics

  • “As an entrepreneur and coach, I can get in my own way. That’s why I love working with Elise. She gives me the space to reconnect my mind with my body, allowing me to feel, even when it’s uncomfortable. In that space, something magical happens. Pieces fall into place, and new insights are discovered. I find the answers that enable me to go far beyond my limitations.”
