Overview
Leading with Purpose (LwP) is a one-day retreat experience for women in leadership to build their capacity to effectively and sustainably lead in the modern world of work. We know how hard and lonely it can be at the "top" and how many demands women in leadership have to juggle. Within a supportive and extraordinary community of like-hearted humans, our goal is to help you realign your priorities, (re)claim your power, build confidence, share knowledge and tools, and find solutions to your biggest leadership challenges.
Above all, at LwP, we commit to creating a container where you feel seen, heard, and cared for, and we can't wait to be on the journey with you.

"The best part was the bond that we were able to create in just one day with other women in leadership. It was incredibly humbling and impactful to be in the presence of so many individuals who are doing amazing things professionally and personally. I loved the different activities that were put in place for us to be vulnerable, problem solve and get to know ourselves and each other."
