Attendee Testimonials:

“Very interesting content with practical applications. Was good to see a leadership program that delved deeper into what is just the basics of leadership.”

“The program really supported us to grow as an individual and that’s the best way to go. We focus a lot on leadership development, but it needs to start with personal development and the program delivered that perfectly.”

“Attending the leadership program was an incredibly enriching experience for me. The presenter was not only knowledgeable but also delivered the content in a way that made it engaging and applicable to real-world situations. I appreciated the focus on practical applications, going beyond the basics of leadership. What I enjoyed the most about the program was its depth in exploring various aspects of leadership. It provided valuable insights and strategies that I could immediately implement in my current role. The content was not just theoretical but had a strong emphasis on practicality, making it highly relevant to the challenges faced in leadership positions. The breakout sessions were a highlight for me as well. They allowed for interactive discussions and the opportunity to learn from the diverse perspectives of fellow participants. Overall, I would highly recommend this program to fellow WiBF members, and I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a valuable learning experience.”

Your participation and support have been instrumental in making these achievements possible, and for that, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. WiBF would not be the thriving community it is without each and every one of you.

As we approach the holiday season, please note that the WiBF office will be closed from December 20th to January 15th.

Our team will be taking a well-deserved break during this time.

We look forward to reconnecting with you in 2024 for more exciting endeavours and opportunities.

Wishing you a joyful, restful, and safe break,

The WiBF Team
