about Dr. Shakkiah Curtis
Strategic Innovation+ Tech Consultant | Women's Power Coach | Industry Disruptor
I'm Dr. Shakkiah Curtis
And I Don't Just Teach Leadership—I Live It
"While others theorize about women's leadership, I've spent 15 years researching it, proving it as a Fortune 500 CEO, and transforming ambitious women who refuse to wait their turn."
Here's What You Need to Know About Me
I don't follow conventional paths—I create them.
When everyone said you needed decades of experience to become a CEO, I combined my doctoral research with strategic partnerships and built a company that manages Fortune 500 relationships. When traditional leadership development failed women like us, I created The Curtis Method™—the only system backed by both peer-reviewed research and current executive practice.
I don't just talk about emotional intelligence—I discovered its secrets.
My doctoral research revealed the specific EQ patterns that predict C-suite success for women. While others guess about what works, I have the data. While others share outdated strategies from their past roles, I apply these insights daily as a sitting CEO managing millions in partnerships with BMO Tech, Urban League Technology Initiative, and WWBIC.
I don't just promise transformation—I deliver it.
Named among Wisconsin's Most Influential Black Leaders, I've proven that authentic leadership creates measurable impact. My clients don't just feel more confident—they get promoted, land board seats, and increase their salaries by 40-60% because they're using strategies that actually work.
Why I Do This Work
Because I've been where you are. The high-achieving woman who knows she's ready for more but keeps hitting invisible barriers. The leader who's tired of watching less qualified people get the opportunities she deserves. The ambitious professional who refuses to choose between authenticity and advancement.
I cracked the code on what it actually takes for women to reach and thrive in the C-suite. Not through luck, not through playing politics, but through systematic application of research-proven strategies combined with real-world executive experience.
And now I'm sharing that code with women who are serious about accelerating their leadership journey.
What Makes Me Different
I am a consultant and leadership expert who is simultaneously:
A published researcher with peer-reviewed findings on leadership success
An award-winning leader recognized for influence and impact
A technology innovator creating AI-powered development tools
This isn't coaching—it's leadership acceleration based on proven methodology.
What This Means for You
When you work with me, you're not getting recycled theories or motivational speaking. You're getting:
✓ Real-time CEO insights from someone navigating executive challenges today
✓ Research-backed strategies that predict actual leadership success
✓ Fortune 500 network access that opens doors others can't
✓ Technology-enhanced tools that don't exist anywhere else
✓ Authentic leadership development that leverages who you already are
My Promise to You
I will show you exactly how to accelerate your path to the C-suite without sacrificing your authenticity. You'll learn the same strategies I use daily as a CEO, apply the research that reveals leadership success patterns, and gain access to networks that took me years to build.
Because your ambition deserves more than generic leadership advice—it deserves a proven system created by someone who's actually done what you're trying to achieve.
Ready to Stop Waiting and Start Leading?
If you're serious about reaching the C-suite, let's talk.
The women who transform their careers don't wait for permission, perfect timing, or someone else to recognize their potential. They invest in proven strategies, surround themselves with the right networks, and work with someone who's already achieved what they're working toward.
That someone is me. The question is: Are you ready?
