4WORD PROGRAMS
Collaboratories
You Were Never Meant to Navigate Your Career Alone.
Every Christian working woman wants to grow in her leadership without compromising her faith—but let’s be honest, the path is often lonely, unclear, and full of competing priorities. 4word Collaboratories are intentional communities for Christian women who are ready to stop compartmentalizing and start leading from a place of wholeness, wisdom, and alignment.
The Problem
You Want to Be a Leader Who Integrates Her Faith With Her Ambitions.
- How do I build a life and a career that aligns with my faith and values?
- How do I live and lead without compromising what matters most?
- How do I stay rooted in Truth when tensions rise around me?
- Where can I find a circle of faithful, committed women who will sharpen and support me as a leader?
We took some of the leadership principles taught in the Collaboratory and turned them into a 3-day devotional for you to try.
The Solution
Introducing 4word Collaboratories: Where Faith and Work Intersect with Purpose
A Collaboratory is not your typical leadership development program.
It’s a safe, guided space where women like you – ambitious, faith-driven, and called – come together to grow as leaders and tackle real-world workplace challenges through the lens of Scripture and collaboration.
Each Collaboratory offers:
- Authentic connection across ages, industries, and life stages
- Faith-centered conversations that go beyond inspiration and into integration
- A values-based leadership curriculum designed to help you live, work, and lead with clarity and conviction
You’ll leave each session:
- Encouraged by the wisdom of other Christian working women
- Equipped with practical tools for your career
- Stronger in your leadership ability

“God’s care for the details of this process and providing me what I needed at each step of the way was such a sweet reminder of His mercy for us each and every day. I’m so thankful for the women in the Polished Collaboratory and the opportunity to walk with a community of believers as I am navigating different situations at work!”

“Each time it has been exactly what God wanted to use in that season of my life. And, this time that TIMING has felt urgent. I am often amazed how the material that we cover for that month, has applied at work and in my personal life. I have enjoyed being a part of a group of great leaders that have been very vulnerable and have shared so much knowledge and wisdom.
It has been worth the time, the financial investment and the very applicable teachings, so that I can be the bold, courageous, Holy Spirit lead leader not only in my workplace, but also in the community.”

“This group of women have been life changing for me! During this time I have had personal obstacles and professional changes. Both times, it has seemed the discussion and lesson was right on the nose of what I was going through. From the material we studied to the discussion of the group, there hasn’t been a session yet that I haven’t walked away feeling inspired. My daily habits, how I approach situations, and my perception on how others view situations are all better because of this Collaboratory! Thank you Catherine and everyone woman there for being open and vulnerable and real. ”
