OUR STORY
Courtney and Kimberly met serendipitously through a mutual friend, brought together as mothers of energetic young boys on Manhattan's bustling Upper West Side. They quickly recognized in each other a shared restlessness and a deep yearning for something more meaningful than a typical 9-to-5 career or the conventional life of a stay-at-home mom. United by their passion for helping others find genuine joy and fulfillment, they embarked on a friendship defined by support, laughter and mutual growth.
Courtney, already thriving as an entrepreneur in real estate, had cultivated an enviable ease in her work-life balance. Kimberly, after welcoming her third child, was navigating her own purposeful pause, exploring life beyond traditional professional boundaries. Together, they discovered that they'd both been lifelong coaches, guiding and uplifting others from a young age, deepening their skills and insights along the way.
A few years into their friendship, the duo launched their first women's coaching circle, dedicated to supporting women entrepreneurs on the Upper West Side. This circle not only helped members flourish professionally, but it also fostered a vibrant community grounded in authentic connection and mutual encouragement.
When moving to Stockholm proved unexpectedly challenging, Kimberly relied on supportive friends who turly saw and believed in her, including Courtney, to reconnect with herself in this new place. She found her footing and rebuilt her community across continents and time zones. Their shared experiences led them to a powerful realization: seasoned professional women don't need to settle for "good enough" in this chapter of life. It can be a transformative opportunity to connect more deeply with themselves, their purpose, and others also seeking authentic connection.
Inspired by their own journeys and the profound connections they witnessed among the women in their circles, Courtney and Kimberly founded The Green Room. At the heart of The Green Room lives The Success Studio, a vibrant global community where seasoned professional women gather virtually and in-person for authentic connections, curated experiences, and intentional growth. Beyond the community, The Green Room offers executive coaching, leadership development, and transformative workshops for organizations seeking to cultivate authentic, purposeful cultures.
Together, they're creating spaces where accomplished women can move beyond conventional networking to forge the kind of deep, meaningful connections that spark joy, inspiration, and remarkable personal and professional growth.
