TESTIMONIALS

Thank you for the invite to the conversation with Jen from Cheekbone Beauty (pictured above) on The Empower Hour for ChangeMakers Event/Podcast. It was one of the best entrepreneurial interviews (with some sensational wisdom) I have seen in years. I am a big fan of Jen, her products, and her work for both the environment and the First Nations communities. Knowing that great women like you and Jen lead the way for many others gives me great optimism for the future. Cheers! Natalie

Leigh Mitchell, CEO of the ChangeMaker Collective has been an invaluable partner in delivering meaningful content at Retail Council of Canada events in 2023 and 2024. Her expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion, combined with her ability to customize content to align with the unique needs of our organization, made her sessions both impactful and highly relevant.
Her collaborative approach and exceptional customer service made the entire process seamless, from planning to execution. We recommend her as a trusted and skilled trainer for organizations seeking to embed inclusivity into their culture and customer experiences.

– Stephanie S. Lear, CMP, Manager of Events, Retail Council of Canada

Not only do I have abundant opportunities to gain visibility in front of my ideal clients, but I’ve received numerous referrals. I recommend becoming a WIBN member to anyone who is looking to boost their business.

-Kamara Toffolo, LinkedIn Global Voice & Resume Writer

Leigh had an answer for every tough question, and she was so engaging throughout that not one participant later said they got distracted or lost interest! We received positive feedback from all our participants, and Leigh got rave reviews.

– Serah Gazali, Director at Women’s Economic Council

Your commitment to lifting women up shines through in everything you do — from how well you organize events, to how you use your own life & work story to inspire so many. Working with Women in Biz Network is always a pleasure.
