???? The Final Edition of Cohort 5 Roundup ????

Dear followers and friends,

It’s a WRAP on Cohort 5! Over 12 transformative weeks, 17 women came together to learn, unlearn, and celebrate. Since our December 6th Closing Circle, we’ve been reflecting on this incredible journey. Here is what we’ve been up to:


?????? Workshop Highlights


? Peer Support Circles

A wmnsWORK favourite, our Peer Support Circle allow participants to come together to debrief and share follow-up questions on these value-packed workshops.

?? Closing Circle Reflections

December 6th marked the final day for our participants, and we wrapped the accelerator up with a wmnsWORK tradition: our Closing Circle Ceremony. Tears were shed, laughter was had, and powerful reflections and testimonials were shared. Here are a few…


“The word that comes to mind for me is expansion. I feel like I came into this program very limited in what I could see for my business and now I feel a definite shift. Even from yesterday’s [peer support] circle, I have another direction and view that I’m taking with me.”


“Amazing program, so lucky to have been through it and I feel elevated and a completely different entrepreneur because of wmnsWORK!”


“The workshops (both prerecorded and live) were excellent. You nailed (my mentor) match! She was exactly what I needed from a mentor. She was patient, smart, and present—and I loved that I could show up vulnerably without judgment. ”


“It was truly amazing to have a mentor show up fully, give advice, tools and guidance but led by me and my business needs. I enjoyed the diversity as we were on different continents and appreciated her experience in the travel space!”


Here's a shot of almost all of our Cohort 5 participants celebrating themselves at our Closing Circle!
