The 2020 Collective

When women gather, magic happens

Combining conscious community, accountability, learning, and transformational coaching, The Collective is strengthened by the diversity and pursuits of its members—multi-faceted, ambitious women playing big and making waves, including...

Entrepreneurs, authors, directors, thought leaders, producers, painters, photographers, bloggers, coaches, actors, dancers, choreographers, copywriters, teachers, activists, playwrights, professors, podcasters, movement makers, healers, philanthropists, graphic designers, founders, speakers, course creators, and many intersections in between…

You can find plenty of industry-specific communities where you are surrounded only by people on a similar path as you, but our community is specifically for women across disciplines who thrive at the intersection—of art and business, of change-making and entrepreneurship, of creating and leading, of being and doing—where you can be all of who you are and integrate all of your multitudes in one place.

Because when creative women are given a safe and flexible space to bring all of who we are to the table (especially the parts the world told us were too much), we become unstoppable. 

Meet your guide...

Certified Transformational Coach, entrepreneur, and award-winning creator, Liz Kimball (MFA, CPC) has more than a decade of experience empowering thousands of women to actualize their creative visions.

Liz's clients include Broadway performers and directors, film and TV writers and actors, founders, coaches, business leaders, producers, choreographers, authors, and thought leaders.

She specializes in empowering multi-faceted women to integrate their unique skills and talents to do the work they were born to do, and she is on a mission to bring more women-driven stories, leadership teams, art, and ideas into the world.

Part-catalyst, part-high-performance coach, part-creative collaborator, Liz is unabashedly devoted to your aligned success, and an expert at lovingly getting you to do the next brave thing. 

Here is the most important thing: you are exquisitely whole. 

Right now, in this moment. Exactly as you are. 

Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise — that their 10 secrets are the answer, that their way is THE way, that you will never be who you’re supposed to be without first buying this or eating that or joining here — is part of a cultural structure designed to profit off of your not-enoughness.

And that framework is rooted in a system that was not designed for your highest success.

When we have the bravery to stop listening to the tsunami of scarcity that our society relentlessly reinforces, we start to hear things.

Ideas. Intuitions. Inspired action. The sound of ourselves.

And this is the sound that will build a new world. 

But it can be challenging to forge your own path.

The doubt gets loud, the imposter syndrome eats you for breakfast, and the perfectionism–even though you have read all the books and listened to all the podcasts—can still feel unbearable.

This is because those disruptive messages of unworthiness and insecurity belong not to you, but to the culture that made you.

And we can't heal what isn't ours to begin with.

It's time to release the old smallness so you can devote your energy to the creations and visions that you were born to bring forth.

Let this be the year that you...

• Start the project you have been dreaming about
• Do less and receive more
• Become so addicted to the flow of creativity that you don't have time for comparison or giving all the f*cks
• Spend more time generating and less time responding to others' needs
• Let yourself want what you really want and go all in
• Develop a spiritual practice that expands your life
• Name, claim, and package your ideas
• Ethically expand your visibility so your work can find the audience it's meant to find
• Create support systems that will allow you to grow (and rest)
• Ditch trying to squeeze yourself into someone else's system, tune into your rhythms, reclaim your time and flow, and surprise yourself with a year of prolific output
• Find a constellation of women who inspire you, and allow yourself to feel supported by community. Maybe for the first time ever.

Because being this kind of creative visionary (and thank goodness you are) can often feel lonely, confusing, and scary.

It can be helpful to have a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without needing to have your ducks in a row, the perfect soundbyte, or all of the answers about your life—and experience the real kind of support that will empower your next becoming.

The Womanfesto

(Or :: Why I started The Collective)

​1. We are in need of a seismic shift. The Future is female. Nonlinear. Nonbinary. Creative. To reclaim peace and integrity the world and our creative industries need more woman-driven stories, ideas, leadership teams, and art.


2. We cannot break through alone. The only way we will get where we want to go is to radically support each other like we've never before been supported, consider each other's victories as our own, and whole-heartedly commit to our collective rising.


3. Most of the ways we have been taught to think about achievement are based on a Patriarchal operating system that was not designed with our success in mind. We must cultivate bravery in discovering and articulating our own path to rising, which will begin with a reclamation of our visions, intuitions, voices, desires, emotions, and bodies.


4. It is time to start asking for - and if that doesn't work, demanding - what we really really want. Let's start going for the no and see how many yeses we get.


5. It is important to stop letting our limitations be what make us unique. We need to let go of being really hard on ourselves, feeling like frauds, constantly comparing ​or being chronic worriers as the things that make us special. We are much more special than those labels. 


6. History and legacy are equally important; we must share our stories and also our dreams. 


7. Worth is our birthright. To do the work we are here to do, we will need to cycle out of the multi-generational patterns of shame and unworthiness. 


8. We need to talk more openly about money and its relationship to how we value ourselves (and also how we will make more of it).


9. We are inherently multi-faceted and multi-dimensional. Breaking through demands we throw out the narrative about doing only one thing and respect our intersections and multitudes like the superpowers they are.


10. Saying no is an empowered, strategic, and spiritual practice we need to hold ourselves accountable to more regularly.


11.  We must do the difficult work to prohibit our internal dialogues from mirroring the same bullies we are protesting against. We need to demand justice and respect internally so that we are walking our talk when we are fighting for it externally. We must make the sound of our collective purpose louder than the fear. 


12. No. More. Apologies. The best thing we can do for the world is replace pleasing, sacrificing, accommodating, and carrying others' burdens with playing big and unabashedly committing to our own greatness, creativity, and expansion.
