About Us – Purple Orchid

Purple orchid INSTITUTE

A leadership formation platform dedicated

To raising women whose character earns trust, whose competence creates value, and whose credibility commands enduring influence.

The Institute was founded on a simple but powerful conviction: that leadership influence is not built by visibility alone, but by the formation of women whose character, competence, and credibility naturally command trust in rooms they may not yet be in.

Through structured leadership programs, thought leadership, and convenings such as The Referral-Worthy Woman Conference, the Purple Orchid Institute exists to cultivate women who lead with integrity, deliver measurable value, and build reputations that outlive their roles.

The Vision Ahead

The Purple Orchid Institute

Over the next five years, The Purple Orchid Institute seeks to evolve into a continental leadership institute that develops and connects credible women leaders across Africa. Beyond that horizon, the long-term ambition is to become a global leadership platform contributing to the formation of women whose leadership strengthens institutions, communities, and marketplaces.
The Institute envisions building:

● a respected leadership platform
● a pipeline of credible women leaders
● a network of principled influence across sectors and nations

At its heart, the mission remains simple but transformational:To make the world a better place — one woman at a time.

Faith Foundation

Inspired by Biblical Principles

While the Institute operates in leadership and marketplace contexts, its philosophical foundations are inspired by biblical principles emphasizing stewardship, fruitfulness, and influence. The vision draws inspiration from Genesis 1:28, which calls humanity to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and steward influence.

The aspiration for excellence reflects Daniel 1:20, where individuals distinguished by wisdom and understanding were found to be ten times better than their contemporaries. The Institute’s long-term ambition reflects the global vision described in Matthew 24:14 and Acts 1:8, envisioning transformative influence reaching across nations.

These principles shape the Institute’s belief that leadership should be both competent and principled, capable of transforming systems while preserving values.

ORIGIN OF

The Purple Orchid

The Purple Orchid was founded in response to a pattern observed repeatedly in professional and leadership spaces.

Despite possessing talent and capability, many women continue to play small, constrained by limiting beliefs, cultural conditioning, and an underdeveloped understanding of the leadership capital required to access significant opportunities.

At the same time, the founder, Ijeoma Nwakuche, experienced a different trajectory in her own professional journey.

Testimonials

Feedback From Participants

Referral code is a box of goodness that I keep drawing from even beyond the classes. The experience gave me deeper insight into my identity, provided me with deeper knowledge and helped me identify my core values.

Olabimpe Adesesan

This is one of my major accomplishments for this year. It is amazing how people around me (home/work) have made a comment or two about how I seem more in control of things around. This is a pleasant experience for me.

Ebele

After I joined The Referral Code, three things really stood out for me, my uniqueness, my identity, and my value. And it repositioned me. I love the things that we learned about value, identity, ethics, etiquette, etc.

A Better Future Starts Here

Website.com began in 2005. After years in the web hosting industry, we realized that it was near impossible for the average Jane or Joe to create their own website. Traditional web hosting services were simply too complicated, time consuming, and expensive to manage.

A Classical Education for the Future

We created the Website.com Site Builder with the user’s perspective in mind. We wanted to offer a platform that would require no coding skills or design experience. We keep it simple, so users can focus on creating an amazing website that reflects their brand. Best of all – it’s free. You can get online, showcase your brand, or start selling products right away.

A Journey to Excellence

After seeing an increased need for eCommerce solutions, we developed one of the only fully-featured, free and commission-free online store builders, allowing business owners to launch their online business.
