Women Rising Leadership Academy (WRLA) Application

Instructions

Your Next Level Starts Here: The practical tools and strategies that help talented women move up.

Over the years, we've met hundreds of talented, hardworking women who believed that if they consistently delivered great results, advancement would naturally follow.

Many were surprised when it didn't.

What we know about career growth is that it isn't based solely on doing a good job. While performance matters, advancement often depends on other factors that many women were never taught—factors like increasing visibility and influence, developing strategic relationships, overcoming bias, developing executive presence, and knowing how to position yourself for opportunities.

The good news? These frequently overlooked factors are not reserved for a select few. They are the skills and strategies that we teach in the Women Rising Leadership Academy (WRLA).

For more than 11 years, and founded in academic roots, WRLA has helped women understand the unwritten rules that shape career advancement and develop practical strategies to increase their impact and opportunities. Graduates have reported promotions, salary increases, expanded responsibilities, more profitable businesses and greater confidence in pursuing their next level of success.

If you're ready to take a more intentional approach to your career, we encourage you to explore WRLA and apply soon. Applications are open now and will be accepted until August 31st or until we are sold out. Space is limited, so apply now.

If you know a talented woman who is ready for her next step, please consider sharing this opportunity with her. Sometimes the most important career opportunities come from someone who simply says, "I thought of you when I saw this."

The next level doesn’t happen by accident. Take the first step with WRLA.

Because of the generosity of our funders, this transformational experience is intentionally accessible. While similar programs often range from $6,000 to $10,000, WRLA is offered at just $447.

But the true value goes far beyond cost. WRLA delivers results. Many participants experience promotions, increased compensation, and expanded leadership opportunities before they even complete the 8-month program.

This is your moment to invest in yourself, your future, and your leadership.

Space is limited. We encourage you to apply now.
