Your Coach
Led by someone who has
actually been there.
As the only female Vice President in a global technical organization, Nadine knows exactly what it costs to navigate technical leadership as a woman — and what it costs to do it without the right support.
Nadine Fakhoury is the founder of Insight Coaching Solutions and a former Vice President at Cisco, where she led a global team of 600 professionals with responsibility for $8B in annual revenue. As a first-generation immigrant who rose to the top of a male-dominated field, she brings hard-won clarity to every conversation.
She built EMERGE because she wished it had existed when she needed it most.
You spend your days removing obstacles
so everyone else can move forward.
Who is doing that for you?
Most women in technical leadership are too skilled at solving for others to ever stop and invest in themselves. EMERGE is where that changes.
Six months. Lasting Impact.
Find Your Voice
Stop shrinking in leadership conversations and start owning your seat at the table. You'll develop the presence to speak up, push back, and be heard.
Lead With Conviction
Stop spending energy wondering if you belong and start investing in the work that moves you forward. You'll build the strategies to lead experienced teams — including teams that will test you — with confidence and authority.
Accelerate Your Trajectory
Get clear on where you're going and build a concrete plan to get there. Whether you're positioning for promotion, navigating a transition, or redefining your role in the age of AI — you'll leave with a strategy, not just intentions.
Find Your People
Join a small, curated group of women in technical leadership who understand your world — the dynamics, the pressures, the ambitions. A peer network built here will extend well beyond the program.

Program Structure
Every element of EMERGE is designed to meet you where you are and move you to where you want to be.
Your 1:1 Interview with Nadine
Before the cohort begins, Nadine meets individually with each participant. You'll discuss your goals, your challenges, and what you most want to get out of the program. This shapes the agenda from day one.
Kickoff & Goal Setting
The cohort comes together for the first time to establish collective goals, set group norms, and align on the topics that matter most. From the first session, this is your room.
10 Bi-Weekly Live Sessions — 90 minutes each
Over six months, the cohort meets every two weeks for facilitated coaching sessions. Sessions alternate between structured teaching and open forum — always driven by the most pressing challenges you're facing right now. Recordings are provided after each session.
1:1 Coaching with Nadine — Premium option
For participants who want deeper, personalized support, a limited number of spots include private coaching sessions with Nadine scheduled directly during the program — customized entirely to your goals.
Closing Session
The final session honors the six months you've built together — the growth, the shifts, the hard conversations. You'll leave with clarity on where you're headed next and the peers to go there with.
