Lean In Circles will enable both female and male service members and DoD civilians to come together to share experiences and advice on overcoming challenges in the military and the Department, and create a safe and confidential place to discuss gender issues. Per the DoD Directive, Lean In Circles are allowed to meet monthly, for a reasonable duration before, after or during work hours, and to make reasonable use of DoD spaces such as conference rooms, meeting areas, and break rooms. Service members and civilian employees alike are encouraged to participate in these peer mentoring relationships and believe that doing so will improve the retention of women and support them in their career development and growth
Networks connect groups of Circles and individuals that share a common location, company, affinity, industry, or interest area.
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.
