“I didn't think of myself as a leader before the Leadership Academy.”
We’ve heard this from many of our incredible participants – they didn't consider themselves leaders until they joined the NAWIC Leadership Academy. The Leadership Academy helped them uncover and embrace their unique brand of leadership.
Once you realize that you already have what it takes to be an impactful leader, things start to snowball. Join the NAWIC Leadership Academy and watch as you gain the recognition, influence, and opportunities you deserve.
Join us for an upcoming Info Session to hear real success stories from women who embraced their inner leadership skills through the NAWIC Leadership Academy.
