Care-Oriented Resilience & Excellence

Lead deeper. Sustain longer. Rise higher.

The RARE Leaders CORE is a high-touch leadership accelerator for women of color who are managing people, strategy, and purpose-driven pressure—and who want to build their capacity and culture in a meaningful way.

If the RARE Leaders Lab helps you define your leadership, CORE helps you embody it—under stress, in systems, and through change.

The RARE Leaders CORE is the advanced offering in our development ecosystem—a space to move beyond survival mode and into strategic mastery.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about purpose.

You’ve already claimed your voice. Now it’s time to build your systems, deepen your impact, and lean in to a resilience that doesn’t require self-sacrifice.

In this leadership accelerator, we delve deeper into the dynamics of Competence, Courage, and Capability to build and balance your capacity to lead powerfully. This experienced is grounded by a solidarity of peers walking the same tightrope: holding care, conflict, and complexity through their work.

CORE Capacity
