Women Worth Following Institute
Worth Following. Worth Investing In.
This program changed how I show up, with more candor, more intention, and more trust in my own voice. The women in the room are extraordinary, the investment in our growth is genuine, and the lessons will stay with me throughout my career.
Some of the most important investments we make aren’t in organizations. They’re in people.
The Women Worth Following Institute was created to accelerate the growth and influence of exceptional women across sports and entertainment.
For years, the Institute has operated quietly, growing through relationships and the recommendations of women who have experienced it firsthand. Today, it has become one of the most sought-after leadership development opportunities for women in sports and entertainment.
The Experience
Over nine months, selected participants receive:
- A comprehensive leadership assessment and personalized development report.
- Unlimited individual executive coaching.
- Seven interactive, three-hour leadership workshops exploring the psychology of leadership, executive presence, influence, decision-making, culture, and organizational effectiveness.
- Two immersive, multi-day retreats in Traverse City, Michigan.
- Access to accomplished leaders and executives from across sports and entertainment as guest educators and assigned mentors (yes, you’ll have a formal mentor from a previous cohort).
- Lifetime membership in an extraordinary community of women committed to supporting one another.
Amanda Blanck, Ryan Blanck, and Angie Clark volunteer their time and expertise because we believe these women and their futures are worth investing in. Yes, you read that right. Our professional services are provided at no charge. Selected participants pay only their share of program expenses, including lodging, meals, and materials.
Before WWFI, leadership development felt like just another task at work. They’ve showed me what it truly means to grow together as thoughtful leaders. I’m incredibly grateful for the genuine connections, meaningful relationships, and shared experiences that have made this journey so impactful.
A Remarkable Community.
Women Worth Following Institute participants and alumni have represented organizations including:
Selected by the Women Who Came Before You.
Every year, the women in the current cohort select the women who come next. It’s one of the things that makes this community extraordinary.
Applications open each April. Participation is extremely limited, and selection is intentional. Eligibility is limited to women working directly in or adjacent to the sports and entertainment industries.
