“Most leadership programs treat the symptom. We address the source.”
Financial insecurity affects more than what women do with their paycheque. It shows up as stress, a distraction, and second-guessing — in financial presentations, in executive rooms, and in moments that matter.
The organizations pulling ahead on female leadership aren’t endorsing another confidence workshop. They’re building the financial fluency that turns promising talent into leaders who influence decisions, command rooms, and drive results the C-suite can point to.
Why Saij Elle
Not Another
Leadership Program
Most female leadership programs are heavy on soft skills and light on outcomes. The Strictly Money Collective builds the pipeline companies are missing — emerging leaders equipped with the financial fluency, business acumen, and presence to move into senior roles and stay there.
Led by Saijal Patel, CFA charterholder and former CNBC and BNN anchor — and a roster of leading experts in their field.
Pipeline Ready
Built for emerging leaders, the talent tier where early investment pays off most before they stall or walk out the door.
Champion Support
Sponsors gain branding opportunities and assessment tools to actively support their women's leadership goals.
Measurable Outcomes
Reports and data that show leadership progress — a program you can demonstrate ROI on.
Targeted Skillset
Financial fluency, negotiation, business acumen, and presentation skills — toolkits that move the needle.
Corporate Sponsorship
The Strictly Money
Collective
The SM Collective is a membership program for career women in the U.S. and Canada that combines financial fluency with leadership development — building the skills your organization needs and the financial confidence your employees deserve. When you sponsor women into the program, you invest in outcomes you can measure.
Sponsored employees will
- Make financial decisions with confidence — at home and at work
- Present financial cases with authority in the rooms that matter
- Understand the financial language of leadership and strategy
- Show up fully present with financial stress no longer the distraction
What sponsorship includes
The Program
Two tiers designed to meet female employees where they are. SM Core builds the personal financial foundation — debt management, investing, retirement planning, and wealth protection. The SM Collective adds the business layer: P&L literacy, financial decision-making, and the executive presence that separates managers from leaders.
Community & Expert Access
A curated network of women leaders, live Q&A sessions with industry experts, and member events that foster meaningful conversations and extend learning beyond the curriculum.
Employer Impact Reports
Ongoing reporting on engagement, program completion, and financial confidence benchmarks so you can demonstrate impact internally.
Champion Visibility
Co-branded content, event presence, and thought leadership opportunities that position your organization as a genuine advocate for women’s financial leadership.
