LEAD for Growth

On International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and leadership of women—and commit to #AcceleratingAction for an even more inclusive future. At LEAD for Growth, we believe that when women thrive, organizations thrive. That’s why our team of Associates and Coaches are dedicated to creating cultures where women can lead with confidence, have their voices heard, and unlock their full potential for growth. Through mentorship, leadership development, and meaningful action, we’re not just supporting women—we are very honoured to work along side our clients to shape workplaces that empower them to succeed. Let’s move beyond conversation and keep driving real change. Because accelerating action starts with all of us. #IWD #AccelerateAction #WomenInLeadership #InclusiveCultures

Kerry Ramsay, Founder of the Fresh Idea Collective puts on the best events... and IYKYK. The part I appreciate and admire most is creativity in supporting female entrepreneurs. She’s a master connector and enabler — always finding ways to bring women together, highlight their brilliance, and create opportunities that wouldn’t exist otherwise. Because let’s be real — success isn’t a solo sport. We rise when we’re surrounded by people who believe in us, challenge us, and cheer us on. And because I believe my journey is full of amazing people who helped me, I am so excited to lead a portion of this event to support other female leaders own their leadership. Can't wait - Leisse Wilcox & Cranla Warren Ph.D. !
