About us
At She Goes High, we support the human behind the business, not the human as a business.
We want to know who you are... not just what you do. Ditch the elevator pitch and join our community of women and non-binary leaders!
She Goes High is not your average networking group. We're not even really a networking group.
What makes us different?
We're a community of women and non-binary humans empowering, educating, and encouraging each other as we grow in life and business.
Women and non-binary people are excellent leaders and cycle-breakers- yet, despite how far we've come, there still aren't nearly as many women and non-binary people represented in leadership roles, and finding success in business compared to cis men. To shift this dynamic, it is our belief that we need to be advocates for each other, first and foremost.
That's where we come in. At She Goes High, we don't focus solely on either our personal or professional lives. We've created a community that helps women rise together, in all areas of life, so that we may gain confidence, step into greater leadership roles, take up more space in the world, and make an impact in our communities.
With local groups and events around Northern Colorado, She Goes High is empowering women and non-binary people in Fort Collins and beyond!
- Building relationships, not transactions
We believe building community is the best way to build ourselves. Ditch the elevator pitch and join a community of humans who care about who you are, not just what you do.
- Accessibility for all women and non-binary folx
We're all in different phases of business and career, and it's important to us to offer support for people in all walks of life. Our regular monthly lunch and learn events are always free! For those wanting more of what this community has to offer, our Impact Membership is for you!
- Encouragement to show up just as you are
Authenticity is a beautiful thing. At She Goes High, we invite you to show up just as you are - no need to fake a smile or "put on your game face!" We know you are enough, just as you are- masking not required.
- Business, career, and personal development
At our free monthly events, our presenters cover a wide range of topics, from marketing to mental health and beyond - because taking care of business also means taking care of ourselves! We support the human behind the business, not the human as a business.
- Created by introverts, for introverts
Not into the schmoozy stuff? Neither are we! That's why we focus on creating a safe and welcoming space for introverts ( because let's face it - the extroverts will show up anyway)!
- Neurodiversity is welcome here!
Most of our leadership team and many of our members are neurodivergent. Our events are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for neurospicy and neurotypical folx.
- Queer safe space
We're queer founded and operated, and our space is safe for LBTQIA+. We're here to welcome and celebrate YOU, just as you are! (Yay!)

She Goes High Retreat: Support Through the Shitshow
YMCA of the Rockies, 2515 Tunnel Road, Estes Park, CO, USYou've got a lot going on. While life keeps on "lifing", you're expected to keep on adulting, even on days when you misplaced your keys yet again (hello, brain fog), you can't ignore the seam on your socks rubbing against your toes, and you really wish you'd get a snack and nap like a toddler.
We get it. We're feeling it, too. Let's come together to support ourselves and each other by combining the collective wisdom, heart, and expertise of a community of like-minded fun and scrappy leaders!
With support you can create a business that doesn't rely on you being "on" 100% every day - a business that allows for you to be the human behind your business, not the human as a business.
Create a fun and actionable for your success and join She Goes High for our 9th annual community retreat!
During this two-day getaway, you'll enjoy guided sessions designed to support you in creating a plan for business that accommodates your life and business, receiving support and guidance from like-minded leaders, and enjoying a break from your day-to-day to rest and refresh YOU!
You'll receive coaching and support from Chrysta Bairre, founder and CEO of She Goes High. Chrysta offers specific, actionable tools to help you clarify your goals and actions for the year so you know how and what to do next, and support and community to motivate you through the year!
This retreat is great for women and non-binary folx who thrive in collaborative settings and want to align and reconnect with their purpose in life and business.
In this two-day business retreat, you will:
- Learn to approach your business and life with ease, flow, and fun;
- Develop your personalized action plan for the coming year so you know exactly what to do to show up in your business with more alignment, authenticity, flexibility, and joy;
- Identify and address limiting beliefs that get in your way and understand how to set yourself up to succeed when you return to your regular habits and routines;
- Belong to a community of motivated, inspiring entrepreneurs who will empower you to succeed;
- Enjoy a rejuvenating “work-cation” from your day-to-day life at a beautiful cabin in the Rocky Mountains.
If you are ready to start moving forward with grace and flow in your life and work, this is an expansive experience that includes mentorship, resources, and a community all in one place.

ABOUT OUR PRESENTATION:
