A Puerto Rican entrepreneur who rebuilt her life from food stamps to seven figures is revolutionizing how women in business approach leadership and wealth creation through her Woman of Power movement.
Linda Ivelisse, formerly Linda Hayles, has generated more than $1.5 million in sales organically since 2020 while guiding hundreds of women to restructure their businesses and command premium prices. As a TEDx speaker and self-mastery mentor, she has created a comprehensive ecosystem that transforms high-achieving women into what she calls “icons who shift economies.”
The journey to building her multimillion-dollar business began after Ivelisse left an abusive marriage and found herself raising children while working traditional jobs. At her lowest point, she navigated unemployment and relied on food stamps before deciding to rebuild her life completely. She authored a book, delivered a TEDx talk on courage and authenticity, and established herself as an authority in high-ticket sales.
“I stand for the economic empowerment of women, because courage, combined with financial independence, makes women unstoppable,” Linda said.
The Woman of Power movement targets women who have already achieved significant milestones—advanced degrees, successful careers, six-figure incomes—but sense untapped potential within themselves. Rather than focusing on traditional achievement checklists, the movement emphasizes self-actualization and embodied leadership.
Ivelisse’s business model includes private mentorship packages, VIP days, and The Woman Of Power Experience, a 12-month membership focused on high-ticket sales psychology and personal power development. The Power Table, her flagship 12-month mastermind, brings together high-achieving women ready to expand their leadership and build movements of their own.
Her approach differs from conventional business coaching by integrating psychology, feminine power, and persuasion techniques into what she calls the Sales Dominatrix™ curriculum. This methodology has earned her recognition among clients as “The Godmother of High-End Sales.”
“My clients are not looking for permission. They are leaders, the first in their families to break cycles, and they are ready to dominate in both business and life. I show them how to go from blending in to becoming icons,” Linda explained.
Client transformations extend beyond financial gains. One participant reported closing her first $30,000 client after working with Linda, crediting the program with helping her believe in her worth. Another described leaving the program “not only wealthier but freer,” while a third noted that “every conversation with Linda is power. She sees you bigger than you see yourself and pulls you into that future.”
The Woman of Power movement also includes signature experiences such as retreats, live events, and immersive masterclasses. Exclusive communities like The Champagne Room provide ongoing support and transformation opportunities for members seeking proximity to high-level mentorship.
Linda’s personal transformation from surviving out of necessity to choosing power deliberately shapes her teaching philosophy. She focuses on helping women who are often the first in their families to break generational cycles, guiding them to create wealth, legacy, and fulfillment simultaneously.
The movement represents a shift in how women’s leadership is conceptualized, moving away from hustle culture and survival mode toward embodied identity and unapologetic self-expression. Through her comprehensive programs and mentorship, Linda continues to expand her vision of redefining power for elite women entrepreneurs worldwide.
