THE CORPORATE OPTIONAL COLLECTIVE
A business-building membership for women ready to turn their ideas or existing businesses into a viable path beyond corporate.
THE FOUNDING GROUP IS UNDERWAY
Tomide's background
Where you may be now
You may be choosing between several ideas, working on one promising idea, or already running something that needs a clearer way to make money. We’ll help you decide what to focus on, find out what customers want, and take the next steps in a way that fits your goals and the time you have.
You can see more than one business you could build. You want help comparing the options and choosing which one to try first.
You have a strong sense of what you want to build. Now you need to find out who would buy, what they would pay for, and whether the numbers could work.
People may already come to you for your expertise, or you may have customers, a product, or a community. You want to get clearer on what you’re selling, what to charge, and how to bring in customers consistently.

Work out what to sell, create what you need to start selling, and begin reaching potential customers—with guidance along the way.
Your progress will depend on your starting point, the time you can give the work, and what you discover along the way.
Your first three months follow a step-by-step plan for building your business. Work through the recorded lessons at your own pace, bring your work and questions into coaching, and use feedback to decide what comes next.
STAGE 1
Choose what you’re building and make sure it fits the life and business you actually want.
What you’ll do
You’ll work through your ideas, strengths, experience and goals to choose a direction you’re ready to move forward with.
STAGE 2
Turn that direction into something people will actually pay for.
What you’ll do
You’ll get closer to your intended buyer, understand the problem you’re solving, test your assumptions, and develop your offer, pricing and business model based on what you learn.
STAGE 3
Take what you’ve developed into the real world.
What you’ll do
You’ll start putting your offer in front of people, learn how to reach potential buyers, gather real feedback and use what you learn to refine your business and build a focused 90-day plan.
Already underway? Bring what you’ve built and what you’ve learned so far. Focus on the parts of your business that need attention.
“But the true value add was your direct feedback during the weekly calls. I appreciate your steer and practical advice.”
How support works
You can bring an unfinished offer, a pricing question, feedback from a potential customer, or a business decision you need another perspective on. You’re not just getting lessons; you’re getting experienced strategic guidance on the actual decisions you’re making as you build your business.
Get direct feedback from Tomide on what you’re building. Work through questions, examine your options, and clarify your next step. Learn from the decisions other members bring, too. Calls are recorded so you can catch up when you cannot attend.
Share work in progress, questions, and thoughts in the private community as you apply what you’re learning. Tomide reviews and responds to community submissions Monday through Friday, with responses typically within two business days.
Use the recorded curriculum and exercises to develop your thinking, then bring your work into coaching for feedback on your specific situation.
Compare experiences, share what you’re learning, and build relationships with women making room for a business of their own.
“Being surrounded by other people building at the same time expanded my mind, and helped me stay motivated and feel less alone.”
Whether you’re choosing between promising ideas, validating an offer, or working toward consistent revenue, the Collective is built for you. You don’t need to have your business figured out before joining. You do need to be committed to building one.
You may still be in corporate, be on leave or in transition, or have already left. You may also choose to return. The goal is to make corporate an option, rather than your only source of economic security.
$297/month with a three-month minimum ($891 total). Public enrollment is currently closed.

Tomide Awe helps accomplished women build businesses that give them more choice about how they work and earn. Her experience spans products and services: a multi-six-figure handbag company built alongside corporate work, a group coaching business helping others start their businesses, and her own consulting practice.
She brings 12+ years across strategy, business, and entrepreneurship, including Product Strategy at Meta, Revenue Strategy & Operations at Twitter/X, and a Wharton MBA focused on Entrepreneurship.
Through On Your Terms, she helps women decide what to build, shape what they’ll sell, work through the numbers, and take practical steps toward finding customers—all with their goals and available time in mind.
$297/month
$297/month for 3 months ($891 total, paid monthly). After that, you have the choice to continue month to month at your founding rate.
You should have the chance to experience the Collective before deciding whether it’s right for you. For founding members, your 14-day guarantee begins when the Collective opened on October 19, 2026, not when you paid.
If it isn’t the right fit, contact Tomide within those first 14 days. Your first payment will be refunded, future payments canceled, and you’ll be released from the three-month commitment. No completed exercises or attendance requirements are needed to request the refund.
Our founding group is already underway. Join the interest list to explore opportunities to join. It’s free and does not commit you to purchase.
Frequently asked questions
You should have a direction, possibilities you are seriously considering, or something already underway. You do not need a finished offer or a fully worked-out business model. The Collective helps you decide what deserves your focus, test whether it can work commercially, and identify what comes next. It is not primarily an idea-generation program.
No. The curriculum is self-paced, and members do not have to reach Decide, Develop, and Deploy at the same time. The pathway is designed for your first three months, but you can spend longer on a stage when the work requires it. If you already have an offer or have learned from potential customers, use that work to identify the decisions and tests that matter next.
Plan for a few focused hours each week for the recorded material, decision work, market conversations, and coaching calls. You will need consistent time to apply the work between calls, with priorities that reflect your current capacity and other commitments.
The Collective is for women building a business around a product, a service, or their expertise—including consulting.
You might be choosing what to build, developing your first offer, or improving something you’ve already started. We’ll work through who would buy, what they would pay for, how you’ll find customers, and whether the business can work for your goals and available time.
Your business doesn’t need to look like mine. The guidance and feedback will focus on what you’re building.
Yes. You will examine who would pay, what they would pay for, and whether your pricing, costs, and capacity support a credible path to revenue. The aim is to make better-informed decisions before investing more time and money. You may strengthen the direction you have, change the offer, or decide that a particular model is not worth pursuing. The program does not promise a specific income or salary replacement within three months.
Yes. Bring your work and questions to the three monthly group coaching calls, and share them in the community between calls. Tomide reviews and responds to community submissions Monday through Friday, with responses typically within two business days. This is group coaching with feedback on your individual work; private one-to-one sessions are not included.
Calls are recorded, so you can catch up afterward. You can also submit your work and questions in the community between calls. Tomide reviews and responds to community submissions Monday through Friday, with responses typically within two business days.
I understand the hesitation. I’ve kissed plenty of frogs in the coaching industry myself—paid for support and come away disappointed. Those experiences have made me particular about what I offer and how I deliver it.
Inside the Collective, you’ll have a clear business-building pathway, three live coaching calls each month, and a place to submit your actual work for feedback between calls. You can bring an offer, a pricing question, a draft message, or a response from a potential buyer. We’ll work through what it means for your business and what to do next.
I care about each member getting practical value from being here. That means helping you apply the work to your stage, giving you thoughtful feedback, and being honest when something needs more testing or a different approach.
You can also read what previous clients have said about working with me. The 14-day refund guarantee gives you time to experience the support for yourself.
I’ll poll founding members about their availability before setting the schedule, aiming for times that work for as many members as possible. There are three live group coaching calls each month. All calls are recorded, and you can submit work and questions in the community between calls if you can’t attend.
You can continue month to month for coaching, feedback, and community support as you keep building, selling, and refining your business. As a founding member, your price remains $297 per month while your membership stays active. You can also choose to leave after the initial three-month commitment.
No. Our founding group is already underway. Join the interest list to hear about opportunities to join. Qualified prospects can book a fit call after submitting their interest.
Yes. Founding members have 14 days from the Collective’s October 19 opening to decide whether it is the right fit. Contact Tomide within that period to receive a refund of your first payment, cancellation of future payments, and release from the initial three-month commitment. There are no completed-exercise or attendance requirements.
