Wall Street Courtesan was formed in January 2009 to provide non-credit, university  quality, classroom and on-line courses. Our students come from all over the world and, although they have diverse backgrounds, have the same goal: to be one of the world’s extraordinary women.
WSC offers a highly flexible curriculum with a range of core and elective course units that focus on women achieving a brilliant life.
Our expert facilitators drive our mission of educating women who make a difference in the world by ensuring that WSC remains at the forefront of transformation research and development.
The Leadership Initiative serves as a catalyst for cutting edge research and course development about leadership and leadership development, both within Wall Street Courtesan and through collaborations with authors, practitioners, the gifted and others.
Courtesan? Really? Isn't that a prostitute? Well, not so much. Courtesans were some of history's most influential and accomplished women who, despite their lowly origins, used intelligence, beauty and wit to scale the formidable social and economic barriers of the time to obtain wealth, influence and status. Sensational creatures in difficult circumstances.
Wall Street is the centre of business in New York & is known as the financial centre of the world. The words "Wall Street" engender notions of power, influence and status.
The WSC Transformation Programme© draws directly on the practices of those extraordinary women, the courtesans, and honours their beauty, sass, gaiety, brilliance, power, grace and charm.
Wall Street Courtesan is the practical application of the intelligence, arts and abilities of the courtesan and the skills of today's most accomplished women and invites our students in - to a lush and fascinating world of talents, skills and transformation.
Values
Wall Street Courtesan is concerned with the advancement of women.
We educate women leaders who make a difference in the world and we do this by ensuring that WSC programme content remains at the forefront of transformation initiatives for the 21st century. The Transformation Initiative serves as a catalyst for cutting edge course development for women achieving everything they want, both within Wall Street Courtesan and through collaborations with other organisations.
If it's in the WSC programme it works. No fads, no hype, no endorsements. Our success is tied to the success of our students so our programme is, and must be, brilliant. And we ensure that it is.
Helping women to achieve a brilliant life is our philosophy and our passion. We believe that all women – mum-at-home to corporate CEO to professional musician, sportswoman, astronaut, anything – can achieve everything they want provided they have the requisite skills, behaviours and strategies.
To develop sensational women who make a difference in the world demands a company built on authenticity, integrity and excellence. Our mission is one of of purity of concept and real foundation, not only for our students but for all women.
WSC believes that life transformation and integrity are inseparable. The teaching of ethics here is explicit and our approach to living a brilliant life built on the values of mutual respect, honesty, integrity and personal accountability.
Our values are a set of guiding principles for all that we do, wherever we are and with everyone we meet and are three-fold:
Integrity: In all of our approach, we subscribe to the simple credo of saying what we do and doing what we say.
Courage: We hold ourselves and our students to very high standards of accountability, ethics and participation.
Transparency: In our dealings with students, alumni and faculty we strive to align our actions with our stated values and we do this in an environment of transparency.
Philosophy
WSC goes far beyond creating educated tourists. Each day at WSC starts with the question: "Whatcan you do?" Our students are proud to be Wall Street Courtesans, proud to be defining the next wave of feminism, proud to be one of the world's most extraordinary women.
In every class, social activity, real life scenario and out in the world, you are asked to not only advance your own life, but advance the lives ofother women.
In short, WSC is a place where women want to work and is an offering in which women can wholeheartedly participate. We encourage our students and our faculty to focus on what is achievable and positive and to approach challenges and difficulties with an open mind and a problem-solving approach.
Implicit in that is the student's willingness to embrace a flexible, committed-to-change mindset and to rapidly identify, validate, articulate and act on life transformation initiatives.
At the core of the WSC concept is the advancement of women - all women. We are interested in your views on these matters and can be sent to us here!
WSC School Publishing
Life transformation is difficult. The world is increasingly competitive with now unprecedented demands on women to use their greater social mobility, access to financial and career opportunities, commercialisation of the 'female' economy, emphasis on networks as a result of globalisation and plurality of discourse to achieve their life's goals.
WSC believes that for women to achieve a brilliant life they need a trusted source of research and knowledge about life transformation.
We cultivate thought leading authors who provide a deep understanding of the unique challenges that women with brilliance in mind face, who help our students to acquire new skills and behaviours and who provide practical applications and solutions in the of their lives.
Because finding and selecting the right books is difficult, we provide readers the guarantee of Wall Street Courtesan that all books meet the standards for quality set by our Curriculum Board. This WSC seal of approval assures our students that every topic is timely, relevant, important, conceptually sound or empirically based and can be implemented.
WSC grants approval for texts or publishes its own work based solely on the experience of its students and the endorsement of its facilitators.
To put it baldly, if it don't work, we won't use it.
