AUSTIN, Texas - s4story -- SharpHeels today announced the line-up for its annual summit empowering the next generation of women leaders. The IWD Making an Impact Summit will bring together industry executives and aspiring female leaders to discuss strategies for overcoming common obstacles women face in the workplace and fostering more inclusive corporate organizations. Over 1,000 professionals have already registered for the virtual event on Friday, March 7, 2025. Tickets are available online with options to sponsor college students and save with a family bundle (for mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, etc.) offered.

For women in the workforce, the climb up the corporate ladder is often hindered by challenges like underrepresentation in leadership, unequal pay, and biases. These hurdles impact women's financial stability, career growth, and well-being. Despite numerous studies showing that women's prioritization of inclusivity, collaboration, creativity, and compassion are valuable for driving innovation and business growth, organizational and leader commitments to gender and racial diversity are declining.
