Empowering Your Leadership Journey
Women and girls make up nearly 50% of the world’s population, yet they remain underrepresented in key leadership roles. Studies show that when women lead, there are consistently positive impacts in areas such as peace-building, climate action, economic growth, and public health.
The Women’s Impact Alliance (WIA) addresses this gap by empowering women leaders in social impact, environmental action, and international development, advancing them into positions of influence to create a more equitable and sustainable future.

Meet Some of Our Change-Makers
"Although I felt confident in my leadership skills I was in a new position that required more from me. I entered the Empowered Leadership Program (ELP) not knowing what to expect but eager to grow and learn.
Being part of the ELP has been an incredible journey. I love the Leader Labs and the wealth of resources that have been shared. I've already started applying what I’ve learned, and the positive feedback from my school team has been amazing!
In my coaching sessions, I realized that I’ve often focused on supporting others, sometimes forgetting about my own needs. Gaining a deeper understanding of myself has been transformative. I now see how taking care of myself allows me to be a better leader and person for those around me.
Learning more about what truly matters to me, my values and what makes me happy, has not only helped me lead more authentically but also listen more deeply to my team’s values and what makes them happy."
