"WIL is about finding your own leadership style and getting the space and the time to reflect on what kind of leader you could be. Not to make yourself into something else, but giving you the time to discover what you have inside of yourself." Norma Smith Olson, Minnesota Women's Press WIL has a particularly wonderful balance of structure, organic process, self-reflection, guidance, and space." WIL Participant "I have become more articulate in voicing my understanding of leadership and why I make the decisions I do." WIL Participant
Life changing!" Corrie Lapinsky, Attorney "I met 11 of the most amazing women I now have the honor of calling 'friends.' I learned so much from all of what each of us shared in those inspiring circles. I found my 'voice' which had been buried for many years. I am forever thankful and reminded daily of the growth, inspiration, courage and encouragement we all shared in four amazing retreats." Gladys Folkers
"I have come to see myself not as a fixed essence but as a multi-being, myself in continuous creation. Who I am has transitioned, first from leader as 'doer,' to a deeper search in community for my own authentic voice. Now my orientation is one of 'becoming,' embracing the multiple possibilities of who I am and can be. I am asking these questions: What do different contexts evoke in me? What is most generative in this situation? Where do I want to contribute? What’s possible for us to create together?" Ginny Belden-Charles, Co-founder of Women in Leadership "WIL helped me to feel more centered and confident in exercising my own style of leadership, which happens to come more naturally to me as well." LouAnne Koerschner, former Marketing Director, 3M
"Before I went to WIL, I used to get really caught up in the flurry of day-to-day communication, interruptions, changing priorities and shifts in direction. I would get pulled into panic mode very easily. Now, I can hold my own and not be so reactive in stressful situations. My boss can see how much more effective I am as a leader." Marketing director |

"The longer the time lapses from my first year in WLC to now, the more powerful it becomes. I think there's not a day that goes by that I'm not aware of the impact of my experience in the Women's Leadership Community." Kate Maple |
