What past Forum Participants are saying:
“This (Forum) group of women is unlike anything else in the business world, the church world, or the women world. It is a refreshing reconciliation in Christ Jesus of all things we face as women in executive levels of business leadership. It is lovely, powerful and energizing!”
“There is truly something special about being in a room of Christian women leaders with the same experiences of navigating professional and personal lives as we lean into our faith to build Gods kingdom!”
“You cannot find a group of women like this anywhere. This is truly your community if you are a Christian executive woman.”
The world needs women leaders.
As a leader in your field or industry, you know the impact of outstanding female leadership. You also know that women leaders are often in short supply. This can leave a leader like you feeling alone and unsupported.
We believe you shouldn’t have to navigate work, life, and faith on your own because God designed you for community. You are worthy of being surrounded by loving and supportive women who understand the unique challenges you face as a woman at the highest levels of leadership.
4word’s EW4C is a community of influential Christian women leaders who elevate each other spiritually, relationally, and professionally to make a bold difference in the world.
Once you’ve received an invitation to the EW4C community, you can find your tribe in two ways:
Connect with an EW4C Community Group. These groups of 6-10 influential leaders meet either every-other-month or once a quarter to share challenges, pray and grow together.
Attend the life changing EW4C Forum. The forum is an opportunity to hear from and interact with world-class speakers who address the spiritual, relational and professional challenges unique to influential women leaders. It’s also a time to be refreshed and reenergized through Master Mind sessions and quality R&R. Registration is limited to 55 executive women.
