Elia Marku is a Grade 12 student and youth advocate who brings a perspective from inside senior year, with a passion for writing, human rights and creating change in her community.

Sabrina Strang is an Employment Specialist who helps students build career confidence, strengthen their job search skills and navigate the transition from education to employment.

Marina Saleeb brings experience across banking, advertising and financial literacy, helping young people build the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their future.

Join us for an honest conversation about senior year, university, careers and everything no one tells you about what comes next.

📣 ELPP is launching something new!

This September marks the beginning of a new webinar series dedicated to the ELPP community!

First up: senior year of high school. 🎓

The final year of high school can bring excitement, uncertainty and a lot of questions about what comes next. On September 28th, we’ll be exploring how students can make the most of senior year while preparing for the transition to university and future opportunities.

Think university planning, professional skills, confidence and getting ready for that next chapter, but we’re saving the rest for the 28th! 👀

✨ Not every reaction needs your response, and not every opinion needs your energy.
Sometimes leadership is less about doing more, and more about knowing where your attention actually belongs.

That’s why the shift from “Let Them” ➡️ “Let Me” is such an interesting one for leaders. Instead of getting caught up in what someone else thinks, says or does, it brings the focus back to a much more useful question: what can I do from here?

Our latest WIL blog takes inspiration from Mel Robbins’ The Let Them Theory and looks at what this mindset can teach us about showing up as more intentional leaders at work and beyond. 💙

📖 Visit our Linktree in bio to read the blog and discover all 6 leadership lessons.
💬 Can letting go sometimes be a greater act of leadership than stepping in?

#WomenInLeadership #LetThemTheory #LeadershipDevelopment #WomenLeaders #Leadership #WILCommunity

💙 Who are the people behind Women in Leadership? Our "Meet the Team" series is giving you a closer look at the people whose ideas, experiences and passion help bring WIL's work to life.

Up next: Supriya Daswani, Marketing Lead & Placement Coordinator! 👋

With a passion for connecting people and opportunities, Supriya brings a unique perspective to WIL and the communities we support.

We're keeping the rest for the blog. 😉

🚀 The future of equality starts with the opportunities we create today. Today on Women’s Equality Day, we’re celebrating progress while looking ahead to the work still to come.

At the Women in Leadership Foundation, we’re committed to supporting women as they build confidence, develop their voices and step into leadership. So, we asked our team:
💬 “Equality means…”

Their words reflect a shared vision for a future where women have the opportunity to participate, lead and thrive. Here’s to continuing the conversation, creating opportunities, and moving equality forward together. 💙

#WomensEqualityDay #GenderEquality #WomenInLeadership #FutureLeaders #LeadershipDevelopment

💬 “If you are considering volunteering through the program, go for it!”
That’s the message from Tianne Nan, ELPP Youth Steering Committee Co-Chair, after eight months with the program. 🌱
