The Lead Her with Purpose initiative and the Certified Women’s Leadership Practitioner (CWLP) Program were born out of over 25 years of leadership experience, development, and training. Through years of mentoring, coaching, and equipping women in leadership, Gena B. McCown recognized the need for a structured, high-impact program that provides both practical leadership development and flexibility for busy professionals.

This cohort was designed to fill that gap—offering expert-led training, personalized coaching, and a strong community of like-minded women. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your leadership skills or earn an official certification, this program provides a curated, results-driven experience to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

For advanced leaders, who are looking to go further, the Kaizen Executive Function coaching is unlike any other coaching program available.  It is an infusion of methodologies, each having proven success but never brought together in full integration as offered by LeadHer with Purpose.

 

Great leaders are not born; they are developed. Step into your potential, refine your skills, and lead with purpose.

"The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership."

– Harvey S. Firestone
