Lean In Circles combine a leadership curriculum designed specifically for women with the power of women coming together to learn, connect, and grow—all at no cost to you.

98% of Circle Leaders attribute a positive change in their life to their Circle, and 81% say being in a Circle helped their career.

When you start a Circle, you join a community of women from all around the world who support each other, host local and online events, and push for change.

“The women in my Circle have championed each other, pushed each other to get vulnerable, and celebrated as members earned promotions and took on new roles.” – Laurie, Circle Leader, Lean In Michigan

When you bring together friends or coworkers, Circles create a space for women to share their experiences, give and receive advice, and tackle challenges together.

85% of Circles also connect outside of meetings to celebrate each other's accomplishments and share personal updates and helpful resources.

The most effective Circle names include some basic information—such as your company, city, industry, or the career stage of your Circle’s members. The name you choose helps prospective members know if this Circle is a good fit for them to join.

You’re joining one of the largest communities of women in the world—where you’ll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded women, learn new skills, and feel the power of women coming together.
