The story of the pearl inspired the creation of the community-focused PEARL Academy to develop women entrepreneurs into Purposeful Engaged And Resilient Leaders.
In partnership with the Georgia Chapter of the International Coaching Federation, The PEARL Academy provides a community-focused leadership development program for women entrepreneurs that is focused on four foundational pillars: Life, Health, Wealth, and Leadership. Participants in the PEARL process received specialized coaching, training, and collegial support as they explore and expand their personal and professional leadership abilities. It is supported by micro-businesses, community organizations, local businesses, and institutions supporting a common goal–a commitment to the success and empowerment of women-owned businesses.
