Catalyzing the future of women’s leadership
Unlocking the potential of the next generation of women leaders
Women consistently face three key barriers that restrict their potential:
- Limited access to business networks
- Inadequate leadership training
- Lack of mentors
IWF directly tackles these barriers through our Leadership Fellows Program and Leadership Intensives.
Leadership Fellows Program
IWF’s Leadership Fellows Program accelerates women’s path to the C-suite across all sectors. For more than 30 years, the Program has provided unique development experiences custom-built for women leaders 3-5 years away from the most senior roles in their professions. The Program features:
Custom Curriculum
A 3-day initial immersion; a 4-day Program at INSEAD; a 5-day experience at University of Cambridge; and virtual masterclasses with IWF thought leaders across the program year
Bespoke Mentoring
Best-in-class, one-on-one mentoring by IWF members whose exceptional leadership matches Fellows’ professional objectives
Global Networking
Opportunities to network with preeminent IWF members from around the world, powerful Fellows Program alumnae, and a Fellows cohort of high achievers
Paying It Forward
Fellows complete a Legacy Project designed to leverage the fellowship experience to expand the continuum of women’s leadership
Leadership Intensives
Corporations seeking to develop high potential leaders often seek content to supplement their internal training programs. IWF’s Leadership Intensives are an excellent way to augment existing programs for mid-level leaders. The Intensives feature IWF members sharing their experience and expertise on leading through diverse and complex challenges.
Tailored Content
Programs feature IWF members who are authorities on topics such as allyship, influence and persuasion in the workplace, and transitioning to leadership
Meeting Company Needs
IWF collaborates with corporations to determine the optimal structure and content for greatest results
