CEO Sanctuary Mastermind
Experience the power of peer-to-peer mentoring in our elite mastermind for women entrepreneurs.
Do you ever feel alone in your business?
If so, you are not alone.
Regardless of the size of your business or team, you are the de facto leader and woman in charge. And that means you’re responsible for the direction of your business and for making all the big decisions.
But those decisions aren’t always easy or straightforward, are they?
Nah, they’re complicated and often keep you up at night playing what feels like a mental game of chess.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone to bounce those big decisions off?
Damn right it would! And that’s just one of the reasons mastermind groups are so powerful for business owners.
The Benefits of Masterminds for Business Owners
Expertise & Wisdom
You get to tap into the collective knowledge & wisdom of other business owners, which can be helpful as you navigate challenges and big decisions in your business.
Accountability
Being part of a mastermind group creates a sense of accountability, which can motivate and inspire you to stay committed to your goals.
Cost Effective Coaching
The cost of participating in a mastermind group is more affordable than one-on-one business coaching as the cost is shared among the participants.
Shared Learning
You get to learn from the experiences and insights from other business owners. This can help you broaden your perspective and help you see situations through a different lens.
Encouragement & Support
Entrepreneurship isn’t all sunshine & rainbows and your mastermind peers can help lift you up with emotional encouragement and support, especially during challenging times.
Leadership Development
You get real-time feedback and coaching that can help you develop essential skills around strategic thinking, communication, and leadership.
Networking
You get an opportunity to build real relationships with like-minded people, providing a valuable opportunity to expand your network inside the group and beyond..
New Ideas
Brainstorming with a diverse group of fellow business owners can spark new ideas and solutions that you might not think of on your own.
Celebration
You can also expect to have fun, share laughs, and celebrate the journey. A great mastermind group celebrates both your progress and your wins!
Digging these vibes?
Then it’s time to join the CEO Sanctuary Mastermind!
Welcome to the CEO Sanctuary, an elite mastermind group for women business owners.
The support and friendships from this group were totally unexpected but absolutely needed. In a world where sometimes I feel isolated as a female CEO its a blessing to know I'm not alone.
Alex Watson | Salon Alexandria
Joining the mastermind was the best business decision I've made in years. Having a group of vetted peers from different backgrounds as a sounding board for ideas and challenges has given me a refreshed sense of direction.
Stacy Smith | Smith Spencer Real Estate
The counsel from other badass bosses has been so insightful and I really appreciate the accountability that the group provides.
Melissa Wildstein | The Matchstick Group
I love your authentic vibe! You’re doing a great job helping me set goals, have accountability, and know what outcomes I’m going after. Thank you!
Jessica Nemecz | Two Roads Wellness Clinic
I like hearing from the others in the group as we all tend to have similar struggles. This is also forcing me to spend some time thinking about my business -- which I tend to put off. So the accountability is helpful!
Holly Fisher | Fisher Creative Marketing
I've loved our mastermind. This program has been incredible! I feel like I gained a whole new support system of talented, motivated entrepreneur friends.
Nadine Kenney Johnstone | Writing Coach
It's a place where I can ask for help, offer support and be around like-minded women while being facilitated by a true leader, Hilary. Her ability to curate these groups & facilitate these conversations are meaningful & powerful.
Melissa Miller | The New Primal
You are a great facilitator in so many ways. You listen well, always have constructive feedback and do a solid job of holding space for all of us.

The advice and counsel I’ve received and witnessed is unparalleled to any business podcast or book out there. These women genuinely care about facilitating growth in one another and their businesses.
Erin Spencer | Smith Spencer Real Estate
The women in the group have been instrumental in helping me make difficult business decisions and I love the intimate and thoughtful communication we have.
Whitney McDuff | Speaker Consulting & PR
I like the routine and having the space to step back and think about working "on" the business rather than "in" the business.
Cheryl Heller | Pillar One Consulting
I so appreciate your knowledge and wisdom as well as your friendship and encouragement. I know I would not be where I am right now without you and my future in business would not look as bright.
Katie Throckmorton | Distinct Builders
The mastermind is refreshing because I get a chance to talk to other women who can actually understand what I do and can help me problem-solve in a way that other people that are not a part of this world would never be able to do.
Kalena Baker | Teaching Made Practical
The Mastermind has become a group I depend on. It’s a safe place to share the highs and lows of being a business owner, and the wisdom I glean from the group is incredibly valuable.
Hope Caldwell | KLH Group
I am so thankful for you and for the team. I am a better leader and a better advisor as a result of your help!
Marielle Klapp | Stellar Bookkeeping
I built confidence in myself, my business, and the potential I have, and I made lasting friendships with these women that are strong, supportive and exactly the kind of women I want to be around. They push me, help me see that I am not alone, and assure me regularly that I can do anything I set my mind to.

Yes! We used to call this program the CEO Society but someone trademarked it right out from underneath us and we didn't know. Lesson learned...we should have trademarked it when we started using it!
But the truth is we also outgrew the name. We no longer felt like "Society" really conveyed our vibe.
The word "Sanctuary" is meant to evoke a feeling of being inclusive, embraced, of being safe, of being AOK to be exactly who you are. And that's precisely what you can expect in this mastermind.

If you’re new to masterminds, you may be wondering what they are and if it’s the right fit for you. Masterminds are an incredible experience for business owners, but they differ greatly from traditional business coaching & programs.
“Courses” are educational in nature and tend to lead you on a path from point A to Z. Programs tend to be impersonal and lack the personalization that so many business owners really need.
“Business Coaching” is when you work directly with a business coach, in a one-on-one or small group setting, to create a specific transformation in your business. This work is highly personalized, but often comes at a very high price.
“Masterminds” are a whole other thing! When you join a mastermind you get access to the “collective”, a group of fellow entrepreneurs & business owners who regularly come together for collaboration, accountability, networking, personal growth, access to resources, and support and encouragement.
Our mastermind members often say just how supported they feel in a mastermind, because they're finally in the company of other successful, smart, and supportive women business owners. But it’s so much more than support. It’s access… access to ideas, resources, brainstorming, connections, and people who truly want (and will) help you succeed.
