Cressence provides next level leadership support to women on the cusp of something new, bigger, or different.
Because the new, the bigger, the different can be wildly exhilarating, and ... it can also be daunting.
Founded by Betsy Fleming to harness the power of next for women, Cressence aims to remove barriers and open up pathways to ensure a thriving community of female leaders, entrepreneurs and individuals in the Carolinas and beyond.
Committed to expanding the narrative of what’s possible for women and girls, Cressence raises up the stories and voices of women leaders tied to the Carolinas. Cressence also empowers women to develop their own stories and skill sets in the service of crafting meaningful and impactful lives.
We do this through:
Championing Women
We highlight phenomenal women who are reshaping the narrative of success and power for women and girls of the Carolinas through our podcast Kick-Ass Women of the Carolinas. We believe in the influence of role models and mentors to fuel courageous actions and decisions.
Empowering Women
We develop women as leaders, entrepreneurs, and individuals through coaching and access to social capital. We emphasize the cultivation of a creative mindset that prioritizes learning, adapting and taking action. Our interactive, activating approach helps women to transform challenge into opportunity.
