No one built a leadership playbook for the moments that derail female leaders at the peak of their careers.

Post-natal return. Caregiving. Perimenopause. Menopause. A $150B global productivity problem with no dedicated leadership capability response.

We did.

Gutsy is a practical performance playbook and leadership capability program for female leaders navigating these transitions. Built for women who refuse to slow down.

Not a wellness initiative. Not a standard leadership course. The playbook female leaders reach for when their biology is making it harder than it should be - and they still have to perform anyway.

Co-founded by Ariane Fricke and Belinda Thomas - two women who went looking for a solution, found nothing, and built it themselves. Between them they bring strategy, transformation, leadership development and coaching across some of Australia's most recognisable organisations. And the lived experience of navigating these transitions without a single tool designed for exactly this.

For individuals: The One Day Workshop and The Two Day Retreat
For organisations: The Playbook, The Masterclass, The Digital Toolkit, The Manager Module
