modern badass mastermind
unleash the leader you’re meant to be
What could you accomplish if you never again dimmed your light to make others comfortable?
Would your most distinctive traits – what others call ‘too much’ – become your greatest source of power?
How would your impact multiply if you were surrounded by other leaders who refused to play small?
What doors would open when your intensity was seen as a superpower?
The Modern Badass Mastermind brings change agents together for six months to create what’s possible.
Where are you on the Modern Badass curve?
There are only two problems people have speaking truth to power:
type 1
They speak loudly to the people in power and they cannot be heard.
Type 2
They speak softly to the people in power and they cannot be heard.
Type 1 are Modern Badasses.
You’re brilliant, driven, and unapologetic about it. And you should be. This mastermind isn’t leadership training—it’s a transformation for exceptional women who may have been labeled “too intense” while changing the game in their industries.
I’ve been there and have battle scars to show for it. In my corporate life, I knew something was missing but didn’t know what. My gut said I needed guidance. My brain said my leaders didn’t know how to lead people like me.
It’s the same with my clients. They’re often told to “tone it down” and be a “team player”. But, in the next breath, they are celebrated as bold, creative and visionary thinkers. It can feel like a contradiction. It can feel hurtful.
Welcome to the Modern Badass Mastermind.
This six-month program is an exclusive gathering of forces, shaped by my experience, expertise and the ambitions of those in the room. When you enroll, you’ll be joined by other powerhouse leaders who refuse to dim their light.
Have you ever been described as: bold, brash or difficult to lead? It can be frustrating to be so misunderstood.
Together, we’ll amplify your influence while staying ruthlessly true to who you are.
You are a woman making a mark in a demanding role and are tired of being told that a sow’s ear is a silk purse. You don’t accept status quo. You are here to redefine it and are ready to do it without dimming your light.
Are you ready for what’s next?
Is this program for you?
You’re tired of being misunderstood and told you’re “too intense” when your aim is to get everyone to join you on the journey to “what’s next.”
You might be a woman who is:
An executive driving results in competitive fields (e.g., law, finance, or medicine). Whether you’re in the C-suite or about to be, you take on challenges others avoid.
A founder, president, or senior leader reshaping how your organization operates. You see opportunities where others see roadblocks. You’re ready to scale your impact.
A respected voice who influences outcomes, regardless of title. People seek you out when stakes are high because you deliver results while bringing others along.
What we’ll cover together:
The art of owning your space.
Your brilliance isn’t up for debate. Master the art of commanding attention so others say, “Hell Yes!” when you describe the opportunity instead of heading for the hills. We’ll explore transforming resistance into recruitment.
Velocity versus Speed.
Speed is the rate of travel. Velocity is the rate of travel in a given direction. Velocity is purposeful movement (what a goal looks like). Learn to enroll others without them hitting the brakes. We’ll master creating buy-in while maintaining unstoppable momentum.
The power of vulnerability in leadership.
Vulnerability isn’t your weakness—it’s your secret weapon. We’ll talk about the courage needed to deploy it which helps build trust and inspire loyalty.
Embracing values-driven leadership.
Stop wasting energy on what doesn’t matter. Sharpen your focus like a laser on what drives real impact, and learn to say “no” to everything else.
Humanizing your leadership.
Transform from “brilliant but difficult” to “brilliant and indispensable.” We’ll explore how to maintain your edge while building deep, authentic connections and community.
Deploying strategic disruption.
Your disruptive force is a superpower. Learn to channel it into innovations that go beyond shaking the table—they redesign it with you at the head.
You’re ready. What are you waiting for?

She really heard me without a personal agenda and then coached me with insight and experience. It was truly magical, transformational and masterful coaching. I was off track and with her guidance I was back on track “just like that.” It snapped into place and the few subsequent sessions created a momentum that has changed my career and my life.“

I’m Parissa Behnia. I’m a change agent, a pattern interruptor and I speak truth to power.
I live on the other side of my own disruption. I’ve paid the price of the tension you feel when you ignore the calls and resist your own disruption.
But, here’s the good news. The other side of disruption is transformation. The work you do with me means you’re all in on your own transformation as a leader.
I can’t wait to work with you! See you soon in the group.
