Our Origin Your Story

We saw the gap, and we're here to fill it.

Cynthia and Jessica have spent years in leadership roles, and they kept noticing the same pattern: the higher you climb, the lonelier it gets. Leaders face complex challenges navigating organizational politics, leading through transformation, making high-stakes decisions yet they have fewer places to turn for genuine support and honest feedback. Traditional networking feels transactional. Mentorship programs taper off. And admitting you need help can feel risky when you're expected to have all the answers. Add to that today's challenging market layoffs, restructures, economic uncertainty and the need for real support has never been greater. They created The Phoenix Collective because they believe leaders deserve better. A space where vulnerability is strength, where peers truly understand the weight of responsibility, and where real growth happens through authentic connection. Cynthia and Jessica are here to provide the career support that's been missing because they've needed it too.
