Is EW4C a good fit for me?

If you are a follower of Jesus and a recognized high-level leader in your industry, the answer is probably “yes!” Find the EW4C criteria here, and then click below to tell us about yourself.

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.
