Women Leading the Way

The Women Leading the Way™ (WLW) program is based on the Action Learning Model focused on values-based leadership for advancing leaders. WLW offers a distinctive, hands-on, year-long leadership training program for women who want to have an impact in business, politics and social change.

The program elevates the visibility, influence, and contribution of women leaders by providing the vital tools, techniques and connections to expand their leadership abilities and enabling them to move into the next phase of their leadership journey. It is the third step in Minerva’s suite of leadership programs.

Who is it for?

Women Leading the Way™ participants, whom we refer to as advancing leaders, include a diverse group of women from varied backgrounds and sectors from throughout BC. Candidates possess a combination of previous leadership experience (7-10 years), post-secondary or technical education, and extensive work experience which may include community and volunteer/service work. Participants may also be “unsung leaders” who have yet to be recognized at a higher level.

Depending on their experience, emerging Leaders from Minerva’s Follow a Leader will be invited to attend as part of the next step in their leadership journey.

“After my 12 month’s participation in the Women Leading the Way program, I received my best performance evaluation at work, EVER!”

How it works?

The Women Leading the Way™ program is based on an action-learning and values-based leadership model and combines classroom learning, reading, research and a hands-on project that will apply learned leadership skills to make a difference in communities across BC.

In addition to gaining information from subject matter experts in print and online, participants will meet business and community leaders, who will share their experiences and offer their perspective of what makes a successful leader today.
