Women In Leadership Foundation WIL’s story begins with WIL’s Founder & President, Maya Kanigan, a commerce grad following her life’s passion and founded WIL at the age of 28.

Women in Leadership Foundation is committed to advancing diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces by elevating women into leadership and creating opportunities for growth, connection, and impact. For Maya, WIL was created because she believed that featuring female role models and their success stories would inspire others and make a difference in the lives of the next generation. She felt that by doing so, we would see a ripple effect with more women in leadership roles. To learn more please visit our website: http://womeninleadership.ca

Your body is your greatest leadership asset. Are you giving it the attention it deserves?

We invest so much time developing our careers, building our leadership skills, and supporting others—but how often do we take the time to understand the body that powers it all?

Hormones influence our energy, focus, resilience, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. Yet most of us were never taught how they work.

Join us TODAY for this FREE Women in Leadership Wellness Session featuring Nikki Schubert, Hormone Health Educator and Founder of Hormive. Nikki has generously volunteered her time to help women better understand their hormonal health and provide practical, science-based insights you can apply in everyday life.

You'll learn:
• How estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone affect your daily life.
• Common signs of hormonal imbalances.
• Practical ways to understand your cycle and hormonal health.
• How to recognize your body's signals and make informed decisions about your well-being.

Whether you're early in your career, leading a team, navigating motherhood, or preparing for menopause, this session offers valuable knowledge for every woman.

Free to attend. Everyone is welcome.
