What started as an umbrella network uniting women’s organizations soon became a vibrant global community and a pioneering leadership initiative, preparing leaders and companies for the future and introducing feminine, authentic, and global leadership as a way forward.

Though rooted in serving women, WIN has always been about more than women. It is about shaping the future of the world, work, and life itself.

November 6, 2024: A Note from Cynthia de Lorenzi, founder of the international women’s networking group Success in the City, and Hope Katz Gibbs, founder of Inkandescent® PR & Publishing Co., and producer of the Truly Amazing Women show

Dearest friends — We welcome you to a new series in our Truly Amazing Women show. It is born from conversations that we had with dozens of our friends following the results of the November 2024 election. Understandably, many women are feeling deeply unsettled, anxious, or fearful. The planned changes carry significant implications. So we are expanding Cynthia’s Success in the City project and launching a group to bring all of us together in a caring community — Empowered Together

Our goal: We are creating a safe space to bring together Calm, Connected, Compassionate, Changemakers. We believe these are the new 4Cs of millions of beautiful diamonds we will send out to sparkle, shine, and keep peace in the world.

To start us off, we hosted our first Zoom Mastermind meeting on Saturday, Nov. 16. These will be held monthly, and each session will be a safe space for reflection, solidarity, and empowerment. The forum will be open to sharing concerns that we plan to channel into meaningful action, personal growth, and positive change for their communities.

Have questions? Connect with Hope and Cynthia. We want to hear what you are thinking, feeling, and dreaming about the future.
