Women in Leadership Course
Empowering Women Through Heart-Centred Leadership
Whether you’re guiding a person or team, growing a business, nurturing a family, or championing change, Women in Leadership helps tap into inner strengths and redefines leadership through psychospiritual nature-based methods.
For those inspired to take this work further, understanding women’s leadership through Story Image Therapy is also a vital step toward becoming a certified SIT® coach, counsellor, or therapist.

Success with SIT Shadow Work
Unlocking the Leader Within
Every woman whether at home, in the workplace, or running a business—carries a deeper story. Beneath the surface are quiet doubts, forgotten dreams, and powerful strengths waiting to be discovered. Jungian psychology calls this “shadow” not something to fear, but something to explore.
Dr Toula Gordillo’s Story Image Therapy Shadow Work for women in leadership invites women on a journey inward. Using story-based tools—like symbolic images, books, and archetypal cards—SIT Shadow Work™ helps women of all ages and cultural backgrounds to gently uncover the parts of themselves they’ve pushed aside: old beliefs, emotions, or patterns that quietly shape their lives.
As women reconnect with these hidden parts, something powerful happens.
Authenticity rises. They begin to lead and live from truth, not perfection.
Emotional intelligence deepens. Stress, conflict, and relationships become easier to navigate.
Confidence grows. Fear no longer holds the reins.
Creativity awakens. New insights and solutions flow more freely.
Resilience builds. Challenges become turning points—not setbacks.
Through SIT Shadow Work™, women in all walks of life unlock their inner leadership—not by doing more, but by becoming more of who they truly are. And from that place of wholeness, they lead with strength, clarity, and heart.

Balanced Heart-Centred Leadership
- Flow Over Force – Taoist Wu Wei teaches effortless action: move with the current, not against it. Stoicism echoes this by focusing only on what we can control.
- Embrace Inner Harmony – Balance your ‘frog’ (gentle) and ‘scorpion’ (fierce) sides. Both Taoism and Stoicism honour opposites, helping you lead with wholeness.
- Trust the Process – Growth takes time. These philosophies encourage patience, acceptance, and trust in your unique path.
