Spark Sessions are one time, 60 minute coaching sessions with me that will happen via phone for a totally hands free, eyes free call from my end. The session costs $100 USD (payment plans available).

Let's spark something new!

What kind of support can a Spark Session be used for?

• Explore ways you can include more liberatory approaches into your leadership
• Analyze how internalized oppression and systemic oppression is at play and what you can do about it 
• Understand why a conflict is happening and how you can navigate it more productively
• Troubleshoot how you can share feedback in a way that is likely to be heard and taken seriously
• Learn how to manage your emotions so you're able to ride the wave of uncertainty instead of allowing those big feels and fears to stop you
• Prepare to set boundaries or make requests so you feel more energetically supported
• Pick my brain about social justice, supervision and team management, program development, communication, training, healing, facilitation, social work practice, or entrepreneurship.
• Dive deeper into what came up when you downloaded my resources like the Shaping Change Workbook or Feel Good Feedback Guide.

Who's the person on the other side of the phone?

Holllaasss! Petra here! 👋🏽 *waves*

I’m a Black, Queer Puerto Rican raised in a mostly White, tiny town in Upstate, NY. I grew up believing that I should be seen and not heard at home and the world pretty much agreed. 

In college, I became politicized by learning about the multi-layered systems of oppression that were operating within me as an individual and outside of me in institutions. It’s very “the personal is political” over here!

The healing-centered community organizing work I was doing at that time allowed me to resist my oppressive upbringing and reclaim my voice as power. 

I started Create More Possibilities, LLC because I believe that those of us on the margins have an important role to play towards collective liberation—starting with taking back our power with our voices. 

As a Liberatory Leadership Coach, I work with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ leaders who want to speak up during crucial moments and meetings (whether that's in your job or your business) without self-doubt keeping you silent and stagnant.

My specialty is in bridging the gap between personal change and systems change by weaving an anti-oppression lens, healing tools and playful possibility into WHO we are and HOW we lead.

What should you know before you book a session?

• These sessions are not recorded.
• During the call, I won’t be looking at a screen at all.
• I'll be walking around as we chat and I invite you to move as well, if that feels good to you.

P.S. If the session goes well, I’d love to get a testimonial from you. This would help me sell future Spark Sessions to those who are curious about what's possible between two focused humans.

P.S.S. Please be on time. I will call you twice: once during the scheduled time and the second time after 5 minutes. After that, I will move on with my work and your session is forfeit. If you’re not going to be able to make it or think you’ll be late, please reschedule your session in advance.

Let’s spark a new idea, awareness, understanding or action!

What folks like you had to say after our Spark Session

"A huge awareness I made is that I am the embodiment of what I teach and facilitate, and (1) reaching to Petra meant that I am committed to this work (2) by speaking about the incident that came up, meant that I am practicing what I preach. I moved through my emotions while also staying in integrity with my values." ~ Nisha Mody, Life Coach, Writer + Speaker

"I appreciated being seen and heard so authentically. I could tell you were listening from all dimensions. I’m walking away with the understanding that I’m not the same person I was before. I’ve evolved to this point and I will continue to grow as I face the unknown and evolve as my new self". ~Laura Matteson, Service Designer, Founder of OIC Membership, Artist + Mom

"Initially, I was struggling with doubt, fear of failure, and imposter syndrome. Petra helped me realize my strengths and how those strengths have already prepared me for any new opportunities that are coming my way. My favorite part was the encouragement, transparency, collaborative partnership and problem solving." ~Patrease, Personal Development Coach, Therapist, Consultant

"I felt able to be vulnerable and talk about how I was really feeling but also felt challenged in the best way to reframe some of them. I was able to process in conversation, but also ended the conversation with so much more to keep thinking about, which led to an incredible breakthrough on where my mind was truly stuck." ~Samantha, Chief Encouragement Officer, Enthusiastic Neighbor

"Initially, I wanted to set healthy boundaries for myself in the workspace to protect my time and energy. Now, I'm reframing boundaries as an act of love rather than an act of protection. This is really important to me as an organizer because I want to inspire others to do the same!" ~ Ryann, Non-Profit Manager focused on environmental & social justice

"I wanted to brainstorm ways I could get more involved in social change work, and Petra was overflowing with ideas! The focus on "Small is good. Small is all" helped me feel more hopeful about the future because I know what focusing on the small actions can look like in practice. I haven't felt this hopeful in a while. I can't recommend working with Petra enough!" ~ Kristy Black, Strategic Brand Designer & Coach, Kristy Black Creative

NOT SURE IF THIS OPTION IS THE RIGHT CHOICE? LET’S TALK THROUGH IT.

I know if we decide to work together, that we’ll be doing some big shit together. My priority is that you feel like this is the best way to get the support you’re needing or wanting for the kind of impact and change you’re seeking.

If it turns out I’m not the right fit, I will let you know that too. The last thing either of us wants (I imagine) is to get into a relationship we don’t actually want.

Reach out below and let’s get closer to finding out if we’re a good fit:
