GWEN | Women in Motion

The GWEN Program workshops empower women and help them navigate life transitions. These workshops help women explore ideas and expand in their personal and professional goals, impacting their communities in positive ways.

Leaders aren’t just born—they’re made. Leadership isn’t about a title; it’s about how you show up, communicate, and build connections that inspire action. Whether you lead a team, or a project, or simply want to strengthen your voice, this two-part program is designed to equip you with the communication strategies to do just that.

At the Truist Leadership Institute, you’ll engage in an interactive experience that helps you recognize your own leadership potential and develop the skills to communicate with confidence and purpose.
