What Makes Wil So Unique

Gain Data-Driven Insights from an Advancing Women Leaders Assessment

Your personal growth starts with data. Every attendee of the Women in Leadership Institute™ will gain access to key insights from an assessment designed specifically for women leaders. Taken in the weeks ahead of the Institute, the assessment lays the groundwork for the learning experiences during the conference and empowers women leaders to take charge of their leadership journeys. All-Access pass holders gain insights from their peers for a 360° view of their leadership. Virtual Keynotes PLUS and Virtual Keynotes pass holders can see how they measure up via a self-assessment.

Unlock Deep Learning in Small Teams of Women Leaders
