What 5 Months in GirlsClub Taught Me About Leadership

What 5 Months in GirlsClub Taught Me About Leadership

Over the past 5 months, I’ve had the opportunity to take part in the GirlsClub Emerging Leader Certification Program, a journey designed to help women grow their confidence, sharpen their skills, and step fully into leadership roles.

The program blended training, mentorship, and community in a way that was both practical and transformational. 

Through workshops, exercises, and real-world applications, I learned how to:

  • Own my voice — speaking up with confidence in client and team settings.
  • Lead with clarity — turning uncertainty into action by breaking down problems into manageable steps.
  • Balance growth with authenticity — recognizing that leadership isn’t about having all the answers, but about staying curious and genuine.
  • Build a strong network — connecting with women across industries who are navigating similar challenges and wins.

What stood out most was the balance of professional development and personal reflection. It wasn’t just about learning tactics; it was about examining mindset, uncovering barriers that hold us back, and practicing new ways of showing up as leaders.

GirlsClub is more than a certification. It’s a reminder that leadership is a skill you can build, a muscle you can strengthen, and a journey you don’t have to take alone.

As I wrap up this chapter, I feel more confident, better equipped, and already putting these lessons into practice. And I can’t wait to see what comes next.
