“The WICxWellness Campaign and Summit represent a significant step toward empowering women to become the Chief Well-Being Officers of their lives, families, and communities. By focusing on executive functioning, WIC aims to inspire transformative change and drive societal and economic gains to contribute to the $1 billion in economic access by 2030”.
(1888PressRelease) January, 2025: Women in Cloud (WIC) is proud to announce the launch of the #WICxWellness Campaign and Summit. This comprehensive initiative aims to champion well-being and optimize executive functioning among women leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals.
Rationale for #WICxWellness Campaign
Recent studies from Mckinsey & Company reveal that women spend approximately 25% more time in poor health compared to men, often enduring an average of nine years in diminished health throughout their lifetimes. This decline in health significantly impacts decision-making, focus, and productivity, further limiting their contributions at home, in the workforce, and within their communities, especially in high-demand roles. Tailored wellness solutions targeting hormonal health, stress management, and mental well-being are essential for professional women to thrive. Closing this gap has the potential to drive significant economic and societal gains—potentially adding $1 trillion to the global economy by 2040. #WICxWellness will feature four key activations designed to drive wellness transformations throughout the campaign:
#WICxWellness Summit 2025
Building on the success of previous events, including setting a Guinness World Record in 2024 for the most users in a vision board video hangout, the #WICxWellness Summit 2025 is a 2.5-hour interactive event dedicated to helping women master executive functioning—the ability to manage oneself and one’s resources effectively to achieve goals.
Key Highlights of the Summit:
– Expert-Led Sessions: Engage with thought leaders and health experts who will share actionable insights on optimizing executive functioning through wellness strategies.
– Interactive Workshops: Participate in sessions focused on critical areas such as hormonal health, stress management, mental well-being, and time management.
– Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded professionals and build a supportive community committed to personal and professional growth.
