Compose your life, career, or business today–it’s time to Live Your Opus!
Do you share any of the secrets experienced by high-achieving, fiercely independent, and impactful women?
Despite all of your success and impact, deep down, do you believe you could generate more impact & achieve even greater success?
Do you sometimes wonder what all of ‘it’—your experiences and expertise— add up to?
Do you dream about articulating confidently - and then packaging to sell - the value and impact you bring on the job - or with your clients - into your signature IP, offering, or menu of products/services? Or take that IP and scale it further?
Do you regularly sit at the edge of your comfort zone just because you can?
It’s taken you a long time (and a few reinventions) to figure out & refine your superpowers; do you sometimes feel like you’re in a race against time?
You’re not lonely—but do you occasionally feel alone?
Are you filled with spark and energy but have been told to tone it down? Just like you think big but sometimes end up playing small?
You’ve accommodated others, so wouldn’t you love to focus on yourself now?
You love your work—but aren’t you ready to work your way? Sustainably?
You’re proud of your accomplishments, but do you sometimes wonder what it all adds to?
I GET IT. ME TOO.
I’m a high achieving woman. I’ve reinvented myself plenty of times: higher education, nonprofit, corporate, entrepreneurship, motherhood, moving across borders & more. I’ve researched and studied high achieving women. And created, led, and advised communities of top performers throughout my career. Being a high achieving woman is an identity filled with contradictions that most people don’t see.
The Paradox of Success
The more successful you become, the harder you’re likely to fall. That’s because everything you’ve done to achieve your current level of success is holding you back from attaining your next level of success.
High-Quality Challenges
To be an extraordinarily high-achieving woman can mean that you’ve often overworked to prove you could do it and pushed yourself just a little further to see if you can. Or, maybe things that seem hard or impossible to others come easily to you. Perhaps you’ve succeeded in one area but struggled in another. Or maybe, despite your success, you feel like something is missing.
Only now you’ve decided that you want more from it all:
You’ve stepped into entrepreneurship—the holy grail of challenges for high achievers. The place where all of your strengths will be revealed, alongside all of your demons. (And, yes, if you’re a “solopreneur” you’re an entrepreneur, so this includes you!)
Or, you’ve set yourself a next-level challenge: to stay in the traditional workforce and build your own (not so secret) agenda, bringing an entrepreneurial mindset to your career, ensuring you generate impact and achieve success in a specific area.
You will need new powers to get to your next level of success. To acquire them, you must risk all of the success you’ve become. There’s no blueprint; you can’t copy anyone else.
What if you could examine the qualities that have made you successful? What if you could discover which ones might hold you back the most as you reach higher?
And, what if—as you consider and go after your deepest desires as an entrepreneur—you could be surrounded by other high-achieving women doing the same? Women who have honed their expertise, put in the miles, and are as invested in their purpose as you are in yours?
This is Project Opus.
Project Opus is a hand-picked group of high-achieving, kick-ass women!
We are experts in our respective fields. And we’re new entrepreneurs. We don’t just want to grow our careers; we want it to deliver impact and income. After all, this is our Opus.
So, we’re coming together for 10 weeks to accelerate our growth.
The Transformation
Together, we will unlock new freedom, discipline, and confidence to soar.
In 10 weeks, we will travel through the four distinct stages of the Live Your Opus Method—Connect, Dream, Compose, and Embark—where each member will:
develop a clear vision, strategy, and plan for our life and our work or business,
explore & adopt critical skillsets, mindsets, energy, and habits to support,
cultivate our ability to communicate these to others and take them into the world with a newfound confidence and spark, and
prepare to navigate potential barriers and opportunities with ease.
This transformation process is anchored in your strengths. It draws on elements of peer-reviewed, evidenced-based methods and proprietary tools I’ve developed and used successfully with individuals and teams.
I’m Janine Matho
an award-winning leader, founder, expert coach, consultant, and advisor to high achievers who are elevating their lives, careers, or businesses; people who understand that to keep raising the bar, they must continue to grow.
For over two decades, I’ve been a trusted advisor to exceptional leaders in world-class organizations seeking reinvention, growth, or innovative solutions in the face of challenges—including extraordinary global corporate leaders, start-up founders and leaders, and non-profit, academic, and education leaders.
Nearly four years ago, I left corporate due to burnout and the sudden death of my mother. After recovering from burnout and taking my first-ever career break to study wine & gastronomy at Le Cordon Bleu London, I dove headfirst into entrepreneurship, creating not one business but two!
I learned the hard way that the experiences and ways of working that brought me great success in my career did not serve me well as an entrepreneur. To improve my chances of success, I hired coaches and therapists and invested heavily in my learning. To turn the corner, I had to let go of the old me and learn new skillsets, mindsets, habits, and daily practices; it’s been a humbling ride, and I continue to learn and grow each day.
As I build my life's work, I am drawn to other women doing the same. As part of my practice, I've interviewed and spoken with nearly 100 female entrepreneurs & solopreneurs, activists, authors, artists, and more.
I've learned that our shared experience—creating our Opus—is unique and unites us. Pursuing—and achieving—your life's work is a massive ambition, more than most of us realize as we're doing it.
It means waking up every day to take the road less traveled and relying on yourself as your guide. Engaging in ongoing personal development, fuelling continuous creativity and confidence, and establishing ruthless self-discipline and focus while enjoying the ride! This journey isn’t done best solo.
I don't know about you, but I want more and better company on this journey. Better inspiration. Better camaraderie. I want more wins to celebrate than my own and better support when in a rut. I’m excited to be surrounded by and to learn from women who, like me, are called by an invisible force to pursue and achieve their life's work to catalyze a unique impact in the world.
If this is hell-yes for you, please join me in making this new effort soar. I look forward to welcoming you to the inaugural cohort of Project Opus.
Your Role
To transform your life, career, or business requires commitment. There’s no special fairy dust to sprinkle—you’ve got to do the work. So, if you’re saying ‘yes’ to Project Opus, you’re all-in, which means you’re saying ‘yes’ to you and me and to all of what I expect of you:
When you commit to the program, commit to yourself: accept all of my calendar invites and block the time. Show up ready to play.
Show up eager and curious to up your game.
Enjoy and continuously choose support, coaching, and community.
Get ready to play full out while learning to live and work in a manner that supports your mind, body, spirit, and heart.
Enjoy being in the company of, and inspired by, like-minded women who are sustained by their purpose.
There will be challenging moments for each of us on this journey; show up with compassion - for yourself, for others - and authenticity.
Check your judgement of yourself & others at the door; your judge will likely still follow, and we’ll handle her together with utmost care and conviction.
Be a peer and fellow learner, not the most intelligent person in the room.
By choosing Project Opus, you understand that although the road less travelled is often travelled alone, you want to travel with others.
Program Details
The group will meet live starting in January of 2025.
We will dedicate two sessions to each of the four transformation stages.

You will receive support to cultivate the skillsets, mindsets, and energy required to achieve your vision.
Members can connect via a community portal between sessions, sharing their progress and experiences through regular prompts and with their accountability partner.
