What We Do
We provide training and personal success coaching to help women reach their potential.
Women’s Leadership Program
For Women Who Have Overcome Adversity

We help women build self-confidence, self-esteem and their leadership potential with an enriching empowerment and leadership program. Designed for women overcoming serious adversities including domestic violence, homelessness, and addiction, we provide a powerful professional development experience that helps women transform and create the lives they were meant to have.
Our innovative program is a combination of coaching and training and is taught by women experts who nurture and support women to wholeness and strength. The first 10 weeks of the program is called the Intensive. We hold weekly classroom sessions and become a supportive team of women working together to bring out the best in each other.
Would you benefit by:
- Coaching from your own personal success coach to help you identify and work towards reaching career and life goals?
- Developing public speaking skills to be more comfortable and confident in your career, social, and life situations?
- Learning assertive communication skills to set healthy boundaries, say “no” and be able to ask for what you want and need?
- Caring for your physical, emotional, and spiritual health?
- Image consulting for your personal best style of dress and colors?
- Developing teaching and leadership skills?
How You Can Participate in the Women's Leadership Institute
Women may be nominated by one of our partner agencies to attend the Women's Leadership Institute on a scholarship (if available). Women are usually nominated by a program manager, case manager, or therapist. Nominated women will go through an interview and selection process to determine if they will be invited to participate.
If you are not receiving services or counseling, please see our resources page, or contact one of our partners.
If you have not suffered adversity and would like to attend a program like this please see below for the Women's Leadership Experience.
To become a nominator, please email: info@speakforsuccess.com
The Women's Leadership Institute is also available to be delivered inside of a partner agency.
