BOLD Leadership Program

For women entrepreneurs in Alberta who are trying to scale in an increasingly digital marketplace, building the right leadership skills and online strategy can be just as critical as access to capital. The BOLD Leadership Program, delivered by Alberta Women Entrepreneurs, is designed to help established small and medium-sized businesses strengthen their digital presence while developing the confidence and strategic mindset needed to lead growth.

Rather than traditional funding for equipment or hiring, this program offers subsidized access to expert-led training and advisory support valued at several thousand dollars. Participants work through practical frameworks focused on digital strategy, branding, storytelling, and online visibility, with guidance on how to translate those tools into real business results. The program is offered in a cohort-based virtual format as well as an on-demand option, making it easier for busy business owners to participate while still benefiting from mentorship, peer learning, and one-on-one expert advice. It is particularly well-suited for women-led businesses looking to streamline operations, expand influence, and adopt more sustainable and scalable digital practices.

The BOLD Leadership Program is currently accepting participants on an ongoing basis, with new cohorts offered throughout the year. For Alberta women entrepreneurs who want to work on their business—not just in it—this initiative can be a powerful step toward long-term growth. Exploring the full program details can help determine whether it aligns with your leadership and digital strategy goals.
