In this circle, we will focus on: 1) Knowledge sharing: People from across departments and generations can learn from one another, expanding the tribal knowledge pool. 2) Expanding awareness of career development opportunities: People looking to get into specific careers can network with those who have done so, or connect with departments that offer a version of what they’re looking for. 3) Building intra-organizational personal relationships: There’s a reason Gallup asks the question “Do you have a best friend at work?” as part of their annual Q12 engagement questionnaire. Making friends with people at work contributes to retention, and circles can help people find those with common interests. 4) Improving innovation: Solve challenges in unique ways by connecting people with varying skill-sets who are interested in solving the same challenge.
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.
