EMC Southern California Women of the West meet regularly to learn and grow together. The intention is to offer an environment where our group of like-minded individuals can talk about areas of common interest for development, professionally and/or personally. We all share the common goal of learning together and do this by following the Circle Fundamentals: Communication: Commit to share openly and honestly—and to listen with empathy. Why it matters: Research shows that sharing begets sharing. As we share with one another, we will feel more connected and better positioned to offer helpful insights and ideas. Confidentiality: Trust is critical. What happens in our Circle should stay in our Circle. Why it matters: Members won’t want to share real issues if they don’t feel they can trust everyone in the Circle. Commitment: “Everyone should be invested in our Circle’s success and be fully present at meetings.” Why it matters: The more everyone participates, the more we’ll all get out of our Circle—the expression “groups are only as strong as their weakest link” is true.
We’re always looking for new members. Join today to be a part of Lean In’s global community.
Circles are small groups of women who come together—online or offline—for real talk and peer support.
We all need a safe space for real talk, inspiration, and support. Right now, we need community more than ever.
