Coaching & Connection in a Safe, Small-Group Setting

Empowerment communities are curated groups of 8-10 individuals who align on purpose and values and aspire to grow in their life, work, and leadership

Communities meet regularly either virtually or in-person to reflect, learn, share, and grow together in pursuit of empowering the individuals within and elevating them in their restored leadership journey.

Tap the button below to register and submit your deposit for our next cohort of Empowerment Communities. Our team will follow up with you to align you with your community and provide an overview of the next steps.

“Thank you so much for the conversation this morning and being able to hold space for each other. Having conversations like this are one of the things that make me feel tethered, and know that I am on the right path…”

The Power of No

Learn to say no with clarity, kindness, and confidence so you can make your most aligned yeses.

This intimate, facilitated group of no more than 8 people will explore your relationship with “no” and what’s been quietly shaping it. Using Brooke’s Power of No online course and her PEAR framework as our guide, we’ll work together to break free from overcommitment, guilt, and patterns that keep us stuck.

This is a space to reflect honestly, grow courageously, and reclaim your energy for what matters most.

Expectations and Agreements

Inspired by brene brown

Because Collective Change Starts with Individual Change

in order to successfully lead others, we must first lead ourselves. This is what we ask our empowerment community members to commit to:

  • I will show up with an open mind and open heart.
  • I will be authentic and honest – these sessions are a safe, judgment-free space.
  • I will set boundaries and keep confidentiality.
  • I will actively practice gratitude.
  • I will embrace vulnerability to grow by leaning into discomfort and tough conversations.
  • I will operate from empathy (connection and compassion) vs. shame (fear and blame).
  • I will embody the core values of The Restoration Project during the next five months inside and outside our community: understand yourself and honor others, live with courage, lead with love, act with integrity, connect to something greater.
