Why SLC Exists
SLC wasn't built in a boardroom. It was built by three senior executives, Kruti Kapadia, Maya Larson, and Cindi Johnson, who needed this room before they could offer it to anyone else.
Each had built something substantial as a woman leading through an industry disruption that hit their businesses without warning, and without the safety nets some of their peers had. What they found in each other was the kind of honest dialogue that doesn't exist in most professional spaces. They built it for themselves first. Now they're building it for the leaders who need it just as much.
What SLC Offers
A Personal Advisory Board
A closed door space where consequential leaders can think out loud, challenge each other’s assumptions, and engage in the kind of strategic dialogue that organizational life rarely permits.
The Collaborative Intelligence Protocol
Every session runs on SLC's proprietary, trademarked facilitation framework, which was developed where decision science and neuroscience converge. When you are too close to a problem, your thinking narrows. The Protocol is designed to interrupt that pattern and unlock solutions you simply could not access alone.
Structured Follow-Through
Every member walks out with customized session notes, a personalized action plan, and access to a dedicated app that keeps the momentum going between one session and the next.
Invitation-Only. Closed-Door.
What is said in the room stays there. And the intentional design means every new member makes the room more valuable for everyone already in it.
Who Belongs Here
SLC is designed for C-suite and senior leaders at minority- and women-led organizations operating between $1M and $15M in annual revenue. Leaders who are managing complex deals, building teams, battling burnout and who are ready for a room that takes them seriously.
Leaders who have outgrown what conferences, associations, and peer networks currently offer, who want depth over visibility and decisions over dialogue, are exactly who this room was built for.
Membership is by invitation. We think you'll understand why.
