Soccer Legend Abby Wambach to Keynote at Linkage’s 20th Annual Women in Leadership Institute (WIL)

May 14, 2019 Kristen Howe

I am thrilled to announce that soccer legend, best selling author, and activist Abby Wambach will join us at the 20th Annual Women in Leadership Institute (WIL) on November 11-14, 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona.

This year, 900+ extraordinary women leaders will join us to hear from Abby as she shares insights into what bold leadership looks like and the importance of leading with confidence.

I am continually inspired by Abby’s tenacity, drive, and laser-like focus.

Here’s what makes her so inspiring: She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, FIFA World Cup Champion, and the highest all-time international goal scorer for male and female soccer players. She was the United States’ leading scorer in the 2007 and 2011 Women’s World Cup tournaments and the 2004 and 2012 Olympics. An activist for equality and inclusion, Abby is the author of New York Times bestsellers Forward: A Memoir and WOLFPACK

Abby is also co-founder of Wolfpack Endeavor, an organization which is revolutionizing leadership development for women in the workplace and beyond through her champion mindset, individualized coaching, and team-bound focus.
