The FIRE Circle
For female CEOs, Founders, and Leaders elevating their game.
You are a capable and effective leader. You know this.
So why does it feel like you—and, as a result, your team —aren’t doing enough?
The answer for women in senior leadership at small- to mid-sized organizations is a lack of support.
The FIRE Circle is your chance to get the support you need.
Why the FIRE Circle?
The FIRE Circle is grounded in these four tenets:
Focus: Attract and retain the right team aligned with your vision for success.
Intentionality: Develop a leadership style about purposeful growth—yours and your team's.
Resilience: Change is the only constant, especially in growth. Build a culture ready to face any challenge.
Energy: Inspire a motivated, engaged, and innovative team environment. Your passion and vision are the fuel that drives your organization forward.
The challenges are unique for women in top leadership roles—but so are the opportunities. Leadership isn't just about guiding others; it's about creating a culture where your team excels, and your vision comes to life.
Regular meetings with a small group will allow you to meet, learn from, and share your expertise with other high-performing women leaders who have built successful cultures and are committed to continuing growth.

A lack of support.
This can mean a lack of people support—the right people on your team, or in your corner—or a lack of tactics and strategies.
Either way, you’re not alone. Here’s what I am hearing from women leaders like you:
“I want my business to be successful, but…
I’m unsure who I need on my team or how to find the right person.”
I’m not sure I’m leading my team the right way.”
I have too much to do all the time.”
I think I made a wrong hire even though I thought I did all of the screening right. How can I be sure?”
I don’t have anyone I can talk to that really understands.”
How The FIRE Circle helps.
Beyond Networking and Courses
This is about deep connections, not surface-level networking. We will use more than just tools and templates—you'll explore new strategies and receive personalized guidance to apply them effectively.
A Community of High Performers
Connect with women who excel in the art of building successful cultures but are still on a learning journey. This is an opportunity to learn from each other.
Tailored for Your Success
This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. There is a map we’ll use to guide our journey together, but we’ll plan the actual stops and detours to help you on your journey.

Who runs The FIRE Circle?
I’m Melissa Carson. I am a leader like you. The CEO of my own business, a former senior leader of teams, and a woman trying to figure out how to do everything I want to do, I bring more than two decades of HR experience to the FIRE Circle.
I am the leader my team wanted to follow, and I’ve been the leader who showed up imperfectly more often than I would have liked.
Too often, I chose not to ask for or accept support, believing that I could or should be able to do it on my own.
I’ve learned to embrace my imperfections and turn them into my superpowers. You can too!
