Women Inspiring Success and Empowerment

As Pinnacle and Synovus close out Women’s History Month, we salute women who excel in their work while also inspiring, mentoring and lifting up others along the way. These are women who generously share what they’ve learned, lend an ear to fellow professionals and recognize and nurture potential in others.  

The Women Inspiring Success and Empowerment Employee Resource Group at Synovus is filled with team members who have hearts for serving in this way. Their annual WISE summit, streamed firmwide, shed light on the value of this work. Below are highlights from speakers’ remarks.   

Strength isn't built in comfort; it's built in challenge, in growth, in being stretched beyond what we thought we could do and honoring the road we have walked. 

Charity Keller 
Senior Securities Operations Coordinator 
WISE Chair 

 

 

Our group is a safe, honest space where we share our experiences, joys and hard moments. Women in WISE saw potential in me that I hadn’t yet claimed for myself. I stepped out from behind my fears into a leadership role.

Audrey Black-Williams 
Senior Trust Specialist 
Vice Chair of WISE

 

 

Membership in this network has changed how I show up as a leader, helping me slow down and listen more intentionally. I’ve learned how important it is to include every voice.

Miriam Cleary 
Enterprise Business Analyst 
Secretary of WISE

 

 

 

I’m lucky that two trusted mentors saw what I was capable of and recommended me for a new opportunity that I didn’t know I was ready for. I’m a firm believer in saying yes and stepping into that discomfort, because that's where the magic begins.
