As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we are filled with enthusiasm reflecting on the journey of Women’s LEAD. Our mission, centered around championing the voices and stories of women in our communities who serve as role models and mentors to inspire others, lies at the core of our endeavours. As Co-Chairs, it's an honour to share highlights from our work and to encourage more to join the growing movement we call Women’s LEAD.
Since our inception in 2021, Women’s LEAD has blossomed into a thriving community, exceeding milestones beyond our expectations. Our journey has been marked by the resounding success of four signature events, each a testament to the remarkable support, engagement and enthusiasm we have received. From Vancouver to Toronto, these gatherings have served as dynamic platforms for storytelling, fostering meaningful connections, and celebrating the diverse achievements of women from various backgrounds and industries.
Last year marked a remarkable milestone for our initiative. Our signature events in Toronto and Vancouver reached full capacity within weeks, underscoring the tremendous demand, curiosity and enthusiasm for our platform. Additionally, we successfully launched our inaugural Women's Financial Mastery Series, a program we designed to bring a group of women together over a series of workshops designed to share knowledge, promote discussion and ultimately empower the participants to take charge of their financial futures. Moreover, we had the privilege of sharing the inspiring journeys of dozens of inspirational women from various stages of life, further enriching our community with diverse perspectives and experiences through our monthly feature articles and podcasts. Amidst these achievements, the number of Women’s LEAD subscribers has significantly expanded over the past few years, reaffirming the demand for platforms that foster the empowerment of women and connection among the community.
Women’s LEAD Signature Events
Following the resounding success of our inaugural events in 2022, we curated and hosted our signature events again last year in both Toronto and Vancouver, each centered around the theme of wellness. It was a privilege to witness both events reach maximum registration within weeks, a testament to the enthusiasm and support of our community. In 2023, we had the honour to host esteemed guests ranging from entrepreneurs to Olympic athletes, sparking conversations on holistic wellness that spanned financial acumen, career advancement, and mental and physical vitality. These discussions left attendees feeling empowered to prioritize their well-being, setting off a ripple effect of positive change.
Around the corner, invitations to register for 2024 signature events in Toronto (May 8th) and Vancouver (June 6th) will be communicated to our community and we invite you to join us. We look forward to introducing an amazing new group of women panellists to our audience.
Women’s Financial Mastery Series
The launch of the inaugural Women's Financial Mastery Series marked the beginning of an empowering learning journey tailored specifically for women. The program spans six months and comprises five modules, each finely tuned to address the unique needs and goals of its participants. Within the series, women find a supportive and non-judgmental space to take charge of their financial well-being.
Each module combines expert-led sessions, peer discussions, and practical exercises, offering a well-rounded learning experience. Facilitated by women professionals, these intimate gatherings serve as empowering environments, guiding participants through the intricacies of financial management with clarity and confidence. Together, women dismantle complex financial concepts and equip themselves with the tools needed to navigate their financial paths with assurance and resilience.
