A Conversation with Sarah Dale, Who Helps Women Build Badassery by Learning Outdoor Skills, Accelerating Female Leaders' Rise with Grace and Grit

Sarah Dale's love of nature and experiences in the wilds of Montana are what started her wish to get other corporate women to build their own badassery and confidence by learning outdoor skills. She moved from New York City to Montana after a solo vacation to Big Sky. Sarah started Project 1490 to provide the opportunity not only for women to have a unique, outdoor experience that helps them go beyond who they think they are, but they can also build their corporate networks and confidence and have a ton of fun in the process. Project 1490 is "an experience-based women's leadership community designed to accelerate the rise of female leaders--with grace and grit." Project 1490 is a membership community for high-performance women from manager to C-level that nurtures all sides of women and accelerates their rise to the top. It is a community of ambitious, open-minded, kick-ass women who support and encourage badassery in themselves and each other "and become the renaissance women they wish to be." She calls her work bringing city women to Montana a combination of "Outward Bound" meets "Oprah" type retreats. Women who attend "go beyond themselves, reconnect with nature and return to their lives with a new sense of who they were and what they were capable of." Project 1490 has an upcoming retreat in the Berkshires that will include leadership content, and expert negotiation skill speaker, wilderness survival skill training and, of course, a party. Project 1490 also hosts "Days of Badassery," some of which are open to nonmembers. You can learn more about their offerings at Project1490.com. Sarah has had an impressive career. After a 30-year career in advertising, Sarah created Project 1490 by combining her years in leadership with her experiences living in Montana. She's been fortunate to work at great brands like The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and Nativo where she led big teams and drove hundreds of millions in revenue. She's been awarded a Cannes Lions, two D&AD Pencils, Folio's Top Women in Media and the Stevies' Gold Maverick Award. She also has a company that does mobile glamping, called thecanvasexperience.com! As Sarah says, "We ride at dawn!" Learn more: Website: ⁠https://www.project1490.com/⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-dale/⁠ Instagram: @Project_1490
