Mission: Identifying and Connecting WINners
WIN partners with not-for-profit organizations (NFPs) committed to amplifying the businesses of professional women through microfinancing and education. Participants have a unique opportunity to learn from experienced coaches who have already broken past barriers, started their own businesses, and have a wealth of insights they are willing to share.
As part of this vital mission, the Women Innovators’ Network will:
- Show women in business their individual power through coaching and training
- Build on the efforts of NFP partners by providing laser-focused leadership programs
- Provide a virtual meeting place for coaches to pass on the torch to the next generation of leaders
- Galvanize women with ambitious professional and personal goals
Values That Make the WIN Possible
- Stewardship for the love of women’s wisdom and empowerment
- Partnership with organizations helping women through education and microfinancing
- Leadership that inspires and ignites women into action
- Ownership that includes a commitment to growing the confidence, economic success, and well-being of women
How Does WIN Work?
WIN recruits coachees sponsored by their NFP employers or supporters. These exceptional women have the innate ability to be successful business leaders and need the right support at the right time. Corporate Class Inc (CCI) provides this through WIN – coaching, microfinancing and leadership training.
WIN provides the platform for women to participate in the ‘WINnovation’ movement. The program falls under the umbrella of Corporate Class Inc., an international corporate leadership training company that’s been training leaders since 1984.
Coachees & Coaches
- Coachees get the training they need to achieve personal and business goals:
- Free training on leadership skills
- An hour of free one-on-one coaching with successful coaches
- A $5000 value
- Coaches also receive training, join a network of incredible women, give back to the community by coaching one of our incredible coachees for one hour a month for 6 months, and gain bragging rights for their personal brand.
NFPs
- NFPs can promote their philanthropic achievement by showing WIN participation on their websites, social media, and other marketing materials.
- Coachees are sponsored by NFP employers. Therefore, WIN presents an amazing opportunity for women staff members, or perhaps one of the women your organization supports, making the program a winning recruiting, development, and retention tool.
- Corporate Class Inc. donates 10% of all its program for women and its Online Leadership Presence proceeds to Opportunity International to help women with microfinancing.
- NFPs can invite other companies to donate or match donations.
- WIN lists NFP partners and other donor partners on its web page.
The Women Behind WIN
The story behind WIN starts with Diane Craig, President and Founder of Corporate Class Inc., and the brain behind the Women Innovators’ Network. Diane has developed corporate leaders for 30 years. She is a valued advisor to Fortune 500 companies, national and international media, and government agencies.
Diane’s resume includes a plethora of charitable work, from organ donation and fundraising to sitting on national and provincial boards of charities, and so on. In 2018, she stepped away from some of her activities, sensing she had another purpose to serve. It all came together in 2021, when she realized that she wanted to focus on helping women succeed in business. When women win, families win, and society as a whole moves a step closer to true equity.
Her distinctive approach is already considered “the gold standard for corporate training.” Now, she has poured all her drive, experience, and dynamism into the WIN. Her definition of Executive Presence goes beyond ability and talent.
“Executive Presence is neither exclusive nor elusive. It can be learned,” according to Diane Craig.
