Most women-owned businesses do not fail because of a bad idea; they stall because the foundation is not strong enough to support the next level of growth. The vision is there, the passion is undeniable, and the customer demand is often proven. Yet when it comes to scaling, cracks in infrastructure, lack of clear execution strategies, and missing confidence-building systems can stop momentum in its tracks.
Despite representing nearly half of all U.S. companies, women-led businesses generate a fraction of the revenue compared to their male counterparts. The disparity is not about capability—it’s about access to the tools, strategies, and frameworks that allow growth to happen smoothly and sustainably.
This is where Cerila Gailliard, PMP, CSM, founder of Orchestrating Your Success (OYS), steps in. With more than 15 years of enterprise-level project management experience, Gailliard brings the precision and discipline of corporate execution to the entrepreneurial space—specifically for women ready to scale with confidence. She helps her clients:
- Build scalable systems that work under pressure
- Turn strategy into execution without wasted resources
- Lead high-stakes initiatives with clarity and confidence
“Scaling is not about working more,” Gailliard explains. “It is about building the right foundation so growth is sustainable.”
OYS: Enterprise Discipline for Entrepreneurial Growth
OYS is not about theory—it’s about execution that gets measurable results. Before launching her company, Gailliard successfully led large-scale, multi-million-dollar initiatives for organizations where alignment, timing, and precision determined success or failure. This background has given her a unique vantage point: she understands how to break down ambitious goals into practical, manageable steps without sacrificing vision.
Now, she channels that expertise into helping women entrepreneurs who are ready to move from reactive, day-to-day survival into proactive, strategic scaling. Her OYS Project Management Frameworkis designed to help business owners prioritize initiatives, align teams, and finish projects strong—even when unexpected challenges threaten to derail progress.
It’s not uncommon for her clients to walk in feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities, only to walk out with a clear plan, defined milestones, and the tools to stay on track. “I’ve seen what happens when leaders try to scale without structure,” she notes. “You burn out, you lose customers, and you compromise your vision. I make sure that doesn’t happen.”
The ‘Manage Your Projects with Confidence’ Podcast
Gailliard’s mission extends beyond her one-on-one work. Through her podcast, Manage Your Projects with Confidence, she offers a platform for women entrepreneurs to gain the knowledge and skills they need to scale smart.
Each episode blends practical project management principles with the day-to-day realities of running a business. Topics range from staffing and productivity hacks to navigating legal requirements, cultivating the right mindset, and ensuring customer retention. Her approach is both structured and relatable—offering not just theory, but steps listeners can apply immediately.
“I want women to hear a voice in the scaling conversation that is grounded in structure and results, not just motivation,” she says. “Motivation will get you started, but systems and strategy will keep you going.”
Listeners often share how the podcast gives them clarity they didn’t even realize they were missing. For many, it becomes their go-to resource for keeping projects on track while still protecting the creative energy that fuels their business.
The Confident Collection: Strategy You Can Wear
While the podcast equips women with strategies, The Confident Collectiontransforms those ideas into tangible reminders. This curated line—featuring apparel, notebooks, and other essentials—is more than merchandise. Each item is designed as a visual and physical cue to stay focused, push through hard days, and follow through on commitments.
“Confidence isn’t a feeling. It is a statement,” Gailliard says. “You don’t wait for it to show up. You build it with consistent action.”
The collection acts as a form of daily accountability, reinforcing the mindset shifts needed for sustainable growth. For some clients, wearing a message from The Confident Collection during an important meeting or keeping one of the notebooks in their workspace becomes a powerful, personal ritual—one that keeps them aligned with their goals.
Why This Matters
Gailliard is not just talking about closing the gap for women entrepreneurs—she is actively building the bridge. Through OYS, her podcast, and The Confident Collection, she provides women with the tools, strategies, and mental frameworks to move from merely surviving to truly scaling.
“When women-owned businesses scale sustainably, they don’t just grow revenue,” Gailliard emphasizes. “They create opportunities, jobs, and lasting change in their industries.”
Her work is part of a broader movement to redefine what growth looks like for women entrepreneurs—rooted in structure, fueled by confidence, and built to last. For women ready to take their business to the next level, the message is clear: scaling is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
