I recommend becoming a WIBN member to anyone who is looking to boost their business through being a part of a strong, supportive, and thriving network!’ -Kamara Toffolo, Resume Writer
“I had the pleasure of meeting Leigh in the fall of 2016 when a mutual friend introduced me to WIBN and the Thriving Mentor Mastermind Meetings. I became a WIBN member and money mentor for the mastermind group and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Leigh has a wonderful energy about her and in every interaction, you can see her focus and dedication to creating the best member experience. If you are a woman in biz, I recommend checking out WIBN and attending a Thriving Mentor Mastermind Meeting to experience this first hand. You will walk away with a sense of community, connectedness and as much help as you want to solve any challenge you are facing – personally or professionally!”

“Building great partnerships works when you are able to partner with smart, creative and motivated people who will see the concept through. Leigh (and WIBN) is one of those people. I worked with Leigh to bring Young Drivers of Canada a positive onsite and online experience for the WIBN Conferences. What I loved was not only her help in each part of the YD activation but also the results package she sent to me after the conference. The results speak volumes and I have happily worked with Leigh for a couple of years now.”
– Suzanne Vukosavljevic, Director of Public Relations, Young Drivers of Canada
“I love working with Leigh Mitchell and the Women in Biz Network! Leigh is whip-smart – she is like a firecracker in most ways (energetic and illuminating, but you don’t get burned if you get too close). Random House of Canada has worked with Leigh for years, programming authors into their special events, as well as creating a book recommendation portal for their fast-growing network of members. I respect and admire very much what she sets out to do, what she accomplishes year after year, and what she strives to accomplish tomorrow. I know WIBN will continue to be a great success in Leigh’s hands.”
-Randy Chan, Director of Strategic and Consumer Marketing, Penguin Random House
