The Women’s Leadership Initiative meets in-person once a month over five months in downtown Greenville. Each day runs from 8:30 am–4:30 pm, with breakfast, lunch, and refreshments provided. We meet in Furman 101, Furman University’s exclusive learning space located just steps from the Main Street of the city.

In between those in-person meetings, we also provide an online communication space where you can connect with your fellow cohort members and share ideas, and reflect on the content available exclusively to your cohort.

More information and dates for upcoming cohorts can be found at the top of the page.

We host the WLI every Fall and Spring, and each group consists of a single cohort of 24 participating individuals. The limit of 24 creates a unique opportunity for those involved, and with this size we’ve found that it creates a safe space for sharing, growing, and listening to each other over the course of five months

More information and dates for upcoming cohorts can be found at the top of the page.

The WLI is $2,495, and that cost includes the location and refreshments, the carefully designed course content that is shared by our incredible team of experienced facilitators, and all the small things. Also included is a separate CliftonStrengths coaching session with our Gallup Certified Strengths coach, and two separate executive coaching sessions to follow up after your cohort has concluded.

Pay in full or pay as you go with a deposit. The further in advance you are able to register for the course, the automatic payments will be smaller and over a longer period of time.

The Center for Innovative Leadership is also proud to be able to offer a 20% discount to representatives coming on behalf of their non-profit or government organizations. (Please email us for more information.)

We also offer a merits-based scholarship application for each cohort, more information on this can be found at the top of the page. To learn more, visit the registration page for each cohort.
