Our story…
WomenCentric began in 2005 as a speaking group to spark new opportunities for five dynamic women. We gave corporate training and entrepreneurial workshops, and met countless amazing women and men.
In 2011, I launched a beta online directory, providing a positive space to discover new work and career opportunities via stories of other women’s journeys and discounted business conferences. Our motto: ‘get listed, get found’ appealed to many – and within several years our roster included talented, ambitious women from 31 countries.
Today, WomenCentric is about empowering a fulfilled, more balanced work/life through inspirational stories, tips, and consulting.
Here’s to your success-
