Enrollment FOR COHORT TWO - NOW OPEN

Enrollment FOR COHORT TWO - NOW OPEN

what’s a cohort like?

Each cohort’s programming starts by looking inward - thinking about your unique purpose - and slowly moves outward, focusing on skills such as emotional intelligence. We do this all in a space where everyone is encouraged to be brave and challenged to show up as their whole self…leaving egos at the door. No, it’s not some secret society. We don’t have a special handshake. But we do have real friendships. We do build professional support. And, YES, you absolutely grow during your time at The Thread.

Experience Community

We are a community of women creating space in our full lives to focus on growth. No matter our backgrounds, we can always find a common thread running through our experiences, making us stronger.

Hear from our Wichita Alumnae

Small Group Benefits Unit Leader, IMA

Taking the leap to join The Thread community has been one of the best decisions I have ever made professionally and personally. I have participated in several types of similar programs in self-help/self-improvement type of settings, but this community is SO much better than anything I have previously done or could have expected. Not only were we given so many tools to succeed in whatever our goals were, but we were welcomed with open arms into an incredible community of women who support each other unconditionally. The friendships and connections I've made are invaluable. I am SO SO SO thankful for this opportunity - it has been such an incredible experience.

I am beyond grateful for the personal and professional growth I experienced through The Thread. The intentional curriculum coupled with the diverse perspectives of the fellow participants, mentors and presenters aided in my holistic growth as a woman. Coming from a large, corporate environment, I especially valued the ability to build deep relationships and hear perspectives from the entrepreneurs in the room who oftentimes provided perspectives different than I had ever considered. The Thread is supportive and inclusive, and it fosters a camaraderie that I’ve not encountered elsewhere. Above all else, I’ve honed my leadership skills and also discovered a newfound confidence in my role as an HR Leader, a community leader, a mother, a spouse and a friend. I wholeheartedly recommend The Thread to any woman inspiring to build her network and make connections that will help catapult their career or business.

I had the privilege of being a participant in Cohort 3 of The Thread, and I can wholeheartedly attest to the transformative and empowering experience it offers to women seeking to excel in their professional and personal journey. This remarkable group goes beyond the conventional scope of networking; it nurtures a supportive environment that fosters personal growth, leadership development, and lasting connections.

The structure of The Thread is meticulously designed to offer a holistic approach to leadership development. The curriculum covers a spectrum of relevant topics, including effective communication, team building skills, personal branding, and work-life integration. What sets this group apart is its emphasis on actionable takeaways that participants can implement in their professional (and personal) lives immediately.
