Empowering Without Pushing
At Poise, we embrace a philosophy and build strong communities around soft leadership and slow living. We offer corporate women and female entrepreneurs who are tired of the relentless hustle culture a new approach to life and leadership.
Soft Leadership
Soft leadership is an approach that emphasizes qualities traditionally associated with the feminine, such as empathy, inclusivity, and collaboration. These values are crucial for effective leadership and benefit everyone, regardless of gender.
Soft leadership is about creating a culture of respect and inclusion where every team member feels valued and heard. It promotes teamwork and collective success, all while setting clear goals and expectations.
At Poise, we believe that effective leadership integrates both soft and hard skills. This balanced approach means focusing on long-term goals and short-term results, considering the company’s social responsibility and its impact on society.
It’s about making decisions with a holistic perspective that considers all stakeholders—employees, customers, the community, and the environment—not just shareholders.
Slow Living
Slow living is about embracing a more mindful, intentional approach to life and work. It’s about prioritizing well-being over business and quality over quantity.
For corporate women and entrepreneurs, this means creating a work-life balance that nurtures creativity, reduces stress, and promotes overall health. By slowing down, we can connect more deeply with our values and intuition in leading ourselves and others.
Why Poise?
The word "Poise" was chosen because it embodies balance, grace, and calm. Poise represents a state of being where one can navigate the demands of life, womanhood, motherhood, leadership and entrepreneurship with confidence and serenity.
It reflects our mission to help women find their own equilibrium, achieving success without sacrificing their well-being.
Join us at Poise, where we are redefining what it means to lead and live with intention and balance.
Meet Iselin Larsen, founder of Poise.
Welcome to my soft and feminine world.
Do you mainly operate with your masculine qualities, constantly in doing mode? With little or no contact with your feminine sides? I've been there.
With a background in male-dominated industries like sales and tech, before starting Poise in 2018, big parts of my life have been filled with stress and long work hours, with a stiff jaw, neck and poor sleep. I put all my worth into my performance and was unable to rest and relax.
Until I decided to make a change. Continuing like this would not be sustainable. Even though I loved my job, I wanted a meaningful life where life was more than work.
Today, I lead myself in a softer, feminine, and balanced way. I follow the ebb and flow of my inner and nature's cycles, set healthy boundaries and find value in who I am as a woman, not only in what I do.
I teach other women to do the same through our Poise mentor groups, leadership and frequencies.
Community, abundance, co-creation, love and family are some of my strongest values, as well as living life MY way — slow, soft and feminine.
If you’re looking for something in this realm, you’ve come to the right place.
