“The prouty i•will program is a completely different approach to leadership growth. It is an immersive, transformational experience that gives attendees confidence to accomplish and pursue new areas that they may have historically been apprehensive to try. The program allows attendees the time and space to look within themselves to understand their ‘why’ and tools to apply that to the environment they live and work in. It helped our leaders think deeply about their leadership brand and what changes they needed to make to ensure they show up authentically as a leader every day.”

“The prouty i•will program was very well done by the Prouty team and I can’t say enough good things about it. The program was very comprehensive, and I was both surprised and impressed by how the learning modules flowed and tied concepts together to help each individual in the program grow from the experience. It included quality speakers, activities to stretch your comfort zone, and a great team of impressive women who put it on. It was fun, insightful, and rewarding to be a part of the program – something I looked forward to with each event.”
Your prouty i•will Guides
prouty i•will is the realized vision of Adrienne Jordan, Kristin Jonason, and other Prouty Project team members who saw the opportunity to provide something different to women leaders seeking to be their best whole selves, not just their best selves at work.
Backed by Prouty Project’s 30+ year tenure in strategic planning and leadership development and their belief that women can be successful in multiple fields, they created prouty i•will. Adrienne and Kristin are honored to be your guides for this transformational program.

They have all shaped and informed her life and 20+ year career journey with multiple organizations including General Mills, Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee.
Recognizing those women’s powerful and positive force in her life, Adrienne is a strong champion for women’s empowerment, as a mentor for young girls and women, and through boards and committees of women-focused organizations such as WomenVenture, WithAll, and Play Like a Girl.
