New program aims to help ambitious women succeed
Edmonton Unlimited has launched Wired for Potential, a free, year-long program for women who are tech founders or senior leaders and want to increase their impact, resilience, and entrepreneurial confidence. "This program supports women navigating a pivotal phase of organizational growth — where leadership demands extend beyond execution to strategic direction, team performance, and sustainable long-term scale," the organization says.
Delivered in partnership with Lori-Ann Muenzer — an Edmonton-based Olympic gold medallist with two decades of coaching experience — the program will accept 10 to 14 participants who will learn to delegate non-essential work, sharpen their judgment, and transition to higher leadership while growing their companies. The selection committee consists of Ashlyn Bernier, COO of Samdesk; Christiana Manzocco, director of investments at the Alberta Enterprise Corporation; Claudia Durkin, principal at The51; Kristina Milke, general partner at Sprout Fund; Tiffany Linke-Boyko, principal at Flying Fish Ventures; and Yasmine Al-Hussein, investment manager at Yaletown Partners.
Applications are open until March 25, and shortlisted participants will undergo interviews at the beginning of April. Monthly in-person sessions will begin in May. Edmonton Unlimited said applicants should be ambitious, values-driven women who are "ready to engage fully, contribute meaningfully, and commit to a shared standard of excellence."
