SHE: The Leadership Workshop for Women Who Lead & Live Big.
No Apologies. No Holding Back. No More Playing Small.
You are powerful. You are brilliant. You are leading in ways that change lives. And yet, even at the top of your game, something feels… off. Like no matter how much you do, you’re still failing somewhere.
SHE is a transformational leadership experience designed for women like you—executives, entrepreneurs, managers, and visionaries—who are done playing by rules they didn’t write. This is where you reframe failure, redefine power, and reclaim the way you lead. No more second-guessing. No more compromising. Just unapologetic, world-changing leadership
Is this YOU?
If any of this resonates—welcome
SHE was built for you.
And yet…
The reality?
The system is still patriarchal, the expectations are still wack, and strong, successful women—women like you—still feel like they’re failing on the daily. Success in one area seems to mean failure in another. The pressure is relentless. The burnout is real.
The big question is,
How do you thrive inside a system that you are simultaneously working to dismantle?
SHE isn’t about “fixing” you.
This is about unpacking the layers of conditioning, expectations, and pressures that have been stacked on top of you—in order to access CHOICE. With agency, we can rewrite the narrative.
This is a deep-dive leadership curriculum built by women, for women. It’s about powerful conversations, real reflection, and tangible strategies for leading boldly in a system that still needs reforming.
A leadership framework
Designed specifically for women navigating power, risk, and visibility.
A space to be real
Honest conversations about failure, fear, and success in a way that isn’t sanitized for corporate comfort.
A powerful community
Of women leaders who are done pretending everything is fine when it isn’t.
Practical tools
For managing stress, setting boundaries, and stepping fully into your power.
The FSDI Archetype Assessment
A groundbreaking tool that helps you uncover your unique leadership style, strengths, and growth areas. This assessment provides deep insight into your behavioral patterns and helps you navigate your leadership potential in a way that aligns with your values and strengths.
The Secret? The FSDI Archetype Assessment.
The Failure, Stress, & Discomfort Index (FSDI) helps you uncover how you instinctively react under pressure—so you can stop defaulting to unhelpful habits and start learning your patterns and tendencies.
The FSDI Archetype Assessment is our proprietary leadership framework, designed to help you master the three essential elements of effective leadership:
Understanding Self
Leadership starts with understanding how you instinctively respond to failure, stress, and discomfort. The Failure, Stress & Discomfort Index (FSDI) reveals your default reactions—so you can regulate emotions, recognize patterns, and lead with intention instead of reactivity.
Understanding Others
Leadership isn’t just about you—it’s about the people you lead. SmartStart teaches you how to manage different personalities, stress responses, and team dynamics—so you can handle tough conversations, set boundaries, and lead effectively without micromanaging or people-pleasing.
Understanding Interaction
Leadership is about how you show up in relationships, communication, and culture. The FSDI helps you see how your leadership patterns impact your team, shape workplace dynamics, and influence your personal growth—so you can lead with clarity and confidence.
Instead of relying on outdated management tactics, SHE rewires how you process leadership stress—so you don’t just act like a leader, you become one.
SHE is uniquely designed around The Human Solution’s Tactical Emotional Intelligence™ framework, giving you a clear leadership blueprint because leadership shouldn’t cost you your well-being.
So you can finally lead without sacrificing what matters most.
Your life.
What’s Inside SHE?
SHE isn’t just another leadership course—it’s a complete leadership transformation system built around Tactical Emotional Intelligence™ and the FSDI Archetype Assessment.
The FSDI Gives You a Clear, Personalized Leadership Archetype
The FSDI Archetype Assessment is more than just a personality test—it’s a catalyst for transformation and the foundation of everything we teach.
By identifying your default reactions to failure, stress, and discomfort, you’ll gain critical self-awareness, adaptability, and resilience—key skills for handling tough leadership moments with clarity and confidence.
Which Archetype Are You?
Your assessment results will sort you into one of six Leadership Archetypes—each with unique strengths and challenges when it comes to handling stress, failure, and leadership under pressure
The Warrior
Emotionally intense, action-driven, fights through failure with raw passion. (Hello, temper flare-ups and rollercoaster emotions.)
The Happy Denier
Optimistic, keeps things positive at all costs. (Warning: avoidance of hard conversations ahead.)
The Obsessor
Analytical, detail-focused, replaying failures on a loop. (Perfectionism, anyone?)
The Survivalist
Solution-oriented, strategic, always has a plan. (Aka: can’t sit with emotions, must fix things immediately.)
The Deflector
Quick-witted, master of redirection. (The real question: what are they avoiding?)
The Professor
Deep thinker, overanalyzes, plans everything to death. (Paralysis by analysis is real.)
Your archetype is not good or bad—it’s just your default.
The goal? To understand it so well that you can master it.

Leader Impact Stories
I signed up for SHE to grow my network of motivated and powerful women. That was accomplished, and I learned so much along the way! The workbook exercises and the facilitators enabled (forced?) me to take the time for true introspection. Investing in the 90 minute sessions each week gave me the time to pull away from all of my commitments and devote deep thought to who I am and how I can better navigate my world. The discussions resulted in some revelations for me that have already sparked change. I have been part of several different kinds of empowerment groups and leadership trainings over the years, but SHE gave me tools I didn't have before, and it reinforced my confidence to take action and lift others up along the way

Anna Baeten
Anna Baeten is the founder of The Human Solution, a leadership evolution company dedicated to helping leaders navigate discomfort, complexity, and the human side of leadership—without losing their minds (or their weekends).
With over 20 years of experience in organizational scaling, program development, and human-centered leadership, Anna has worked with founders, executives, and high-impact professionals across industries to build organizations that thrive—not just survive.
A passionate advocate for justice-forward systems change, women & BIPOC leadership amplification, and participatory curriculum design, she’s spent her career proving that better leadership isn’t about authority—it’s about creating cultures where people can actually do their best work.
Anna holds two degrees—a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences and a Bachelor of Arts in Professional & Applied Ethics—because apparently, choosing just one was too easy. She sees her educational journey as proof that a liberal arts education is still one of the most valuable assets a leader can have.
When she’s not helping leaders stop over-functioning, start setting boundaries, and actually enjoy leading, you can find her:
iiiii Devouring audiobooks at 2x speed
iiiii Hoarding fine-tipped ink pens like they’re currency
iiiii Sneaking nutritional relevance into her children’s food
iiiii Learning what makes people tick—and how to help them do better and be better
One thing’s for sure: if leadership had a cheat code, Anna would have already designed the playbook.
