"As a trailblazer and leader of the IWF Women, I am thrilled that IWF and its Leadership Foundation is championing the development and mentoring of Elite Women Athletes transitioning from sport to new career paths and post-sport profession. We are in our 5th year and we have almost 100 exemplary world record holders, Olympians, medal winners in 24 countries and in a variety of sports. Each of them has ambition and passion and are looking for guidance in becoming stronger leaders. It is such a thrill and privilege to be in the presence of these women from all over the world."
