Each year, #GirlsClub honors a standout Protégé who has shown exceptional growth, confidence, and leadership. And this year… our Top 5 Finalists are nothing short of inspiring.

They’ve stepped outside their comfort zones.
They’ve leaned into mentorship and community.
They’ve grown into leaders before our eyes.

Now, it’s time for you—their peers, mentors, colleagues, and cheerleaders—to help us select our 2025 Protégé of the Year!

Select the Protégé you're supporting and share a few words about why she deserves this recognition. Your words matter and will be shared with the nominee!

You do not need to be part of #GirlsClub to vote. This is about celebrating visible growth and rising leadership—something we can all admire.

Nominations close September 5th.

“She embraced feedback with grace and humility, turning every insight into immediate action… The change in her confidence, clarity, and leadership presence over the past few months has been undeniable.”

“She's the type of woman and professional that has a ‘spark’ you want to pour gas on and I believe this should be recognized.”

“The version of Jax who graduates this cohort is not the same woman who started – She’s still a stellar human and mom but now post-#GirlsClub, she’s more courageous, more visible, bitch-badge wearing and undeniably ready for what’s next.”

“She goes out of her way to connect—friending on LinkedIn, reaching out on Slack—and is always one of the first to contribute. She absolutely deserves to be recognized for her impact and leadership.”

“She has been vulnerable in these sessions and sharing experiences from the heart—whether personal or professional.”

“She was tasked with demonstrating empathy while delivering feedback on a sensitive personal, yet professionally impactful, issue… were this real life, I would've been so grateful to have Jessica as my manager and leader as she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of others.”

“She has truly come alive and stepped into her confidence over the course of the program… Now she is literally GLOWING every time we talk.”

“What sets her apart is her calm presence and magnetic energy. She brings a grounded, positive vibe to every conversation and truly leads by example.”

“Nida shows up with energy, curiosity, and commitment in every session — not just to grow herself, but to uplift others around her.”

“She has been able to apply these learnings to both her professional career and her personal life… leading to client success, larger bonuses, and even two prestigious Canadian Marketing Award nominations.”
