About Ana Paula – Empowering Female Leaders with Clarity and Balance
Every woman deserves to lead with confidence and impact—without sacrificing her well-being.
Are you feeling the weight of constantly putting out fires, with your strategic goals always taking a back seat? If you’re overwhelmed by the pressures of leadership and struggling to maintain balance, you’re not alone. I know firsthand the demands of leadership in male-dominated industries, and I believe success doesn’t have to come at the cost of personal fulfillment.
Ready to Lead Without Sacrifice? Let’s Connect
My journey taught me that authentic leadership isn't about chasing excellence while enduring exhaustion—it's about creating harmony between powerful impact and personal fulfillment.
Hi! I'm Ana Paula, the architect behind the Harmony Journey™.
With over 20 years in corporate and educational leadership, I’m dedicated to helping women lead with clarity, confidence, and resilience. My approach is simple yet transformative: I design and facilitate expert-led collaborative sessions—including our Leadership Circles—where women connect, discuss, and learn about high-impact leadership strategies. These sessions empower you to stay focused on your vision while I handle the logistics, offering a streamlined path to leadership that enhances, not adds to, your workload."
My Story
Born in Rio de Janeiro and having lived in São Paulo, London, and now Colorado, I bring a global perspective to my work. I’ve spent my career navigating diverse settings, facing challenges, achieving milestones, and learning from setbacks. Through it all, I’ve witnessed how women in leadership face unique obstacles and are often held to double standards, with little support to thrive. This inspired me to create a solution tailored specifically to female leaders.
With Pathways Collaborative Solutions, I aim to provide women with the tools, community, and strategic support they need to lead without burnout. My programs help you explore growth opportunities, solve critical business challenges, and build meaningful connections—without being overwhelmed by going it alone.
