Flip the Fear.
If your business plan looks like duct tape, sticky notes, and sleepless nights… you don’t need more hustle — you need a system.
Most women don’t fail in business because they lack passion — they fail because they’re piecing it together with random strategies, free advice, and “hope marketing.”
BoldLEAP Collective changes that.
Building a business isn’t a one-and-done event — it’s an ongoing process of learning, experimenting, and growing.
BoldLEAP Collective is where women solopreneurs come to do exactly that — with the community, tools, and expert guidance to make it happen.
The program value and differentiator: Charissa Gant.
I’m a change leadership strategist with 30 years of experience helping Fortune 500 companies and small businesses navigate growth.
In my past life, I launched over 120 programs every year with adoption rates over 80%, and I know that real success doesn’t come from working harder — it comes from building smarter, with people in your corner.
I am a Certified Executive Coach and have mentored and coached hundreds of women.
The Secret Sauce: Here, you’ll find a powerhouse network of women entrepreneurs, practical strategies you can test in real time, and ongoing support to help you refine what works for your business. You don’t have to have it all figured out — you just have to be willing to take the next bold leap.
Because in BoldLEAP Collective, experimentation isn’t risky — it’s the fastest way forward.

Charissa Gant
CEO, Gant C&C and
Owner, BoldLEAP Collective
I’m a change leader with nearly 30 years of experience guiding Fortune 500 companies and small businesses through transformational growth. From launching over 120 programs a year at Cisco to serving as a Principal Director at Accenture, I’ve built a career centered on helping people navigate significant, meaningful change—with clarity, heart, and a people-first mindset.
My most rewarding work has always been about impact: coaching women through Women Unlimited and the United Nations, creating scholarship funds in my hometown, and launching a community garden to feed families in the heart of Silicon Valley.
As the CEO of Gant C&C with a Master’s in Organizational Leadership and a Certified Executive Coach, I bring structure and energy to every space I lead. BoldLEAP Collective is the program I wish I had when I started my business—and now, I get to help other women discover their Superhero powers, passions, and personal North Star.
“I’m here to help women get stuff done—with purpose.”
“I built BoldLEAP because building a business takes more than a template or a two-hour program. It takes community—real, lasting, ride-the-highs-and-lows-with-you kind of community.”
— Charissa, Owner of BoldLEAP Collective
