2023 GWI Women in Wellness Leadership Survey

Welcome to the second edition of the Women in Wellness Leadership Survey, created by the Global Wellness Institute’s Women in Leadership Initiative. If you identify as a female wellness leader, we want to hear from you. We want to know more about you and how we, as an initiative dedicated to Women in Leadership, can support you.

To begin, we define a wellness leader as a woman who works in some capacity in the wellness space, has a vision, and shares it with others. 

The results of this survey will be used to help us create resources, programming, and more that address your needs and help you evolve in your leadership roles. 

This is a confidential survey. If you choose to provide your email address to be notified of future news, updates, and more from our group, it will not be used to identify your responses. You can only take the survey once.

This survey closes on November 1.
