Our Path
Our journey began in 2009 as the Global Women’s Leadership Forum®, dedicated to equipping and connecting women leaders. Through our curriculum and community, we empowered leaders of Employee and Business Resource Groups (ERGs/BRGs) in major corporations worldwide—driving both personal and organizational growth.
By 2018, our impact was undeniable. Our clients saw the value in our approach and asked us to expand beyond women-focused leadership. We listened. We evolved. We became the Global Wisdom & Leadership Forum, broadening our reach to accelerate the advancement of all transformational leaders. Today, through the Point of Light Leadership Curriculum, we continue to equip leaders with the wisdom, resilience, and confidence to thrive in an unpredictable world.
