Female* Leadership Circle

On April 24th, Sogol and Lara from My Protectify are hosting a conversation about a sensitive yet crucial topic: the risks of violence against women. Whether you've been personally affected, know someone who has, or simply want to learn more about the topic, we invite you to join us. Together, we'll discuss how to recognize potential signs, explore effective ways to swiftly exit such situations, and support those at risk for their safety and well-being.

What is Female* Leadership Circle (F*LC)?

Female* Leadership Circle is a supportive community 🤝 of women* and people defining themselves as such who share their path of being self-employed, founders, leaders, seekers or more...

...A community where you can show up the way you are - with no need to "pretend", "perform", "pitch", "compare", "compete" or anything like that.

...Where you can be real and authentic and still help each other to grow in a professional and personal way.

How often do you meet?

Every last Wednesday of a month.

Where do you meet?

This varies each time and depends on the location we find. If you have any ideas or potential locations for us we are happy to hear from you!

What is an F*LC event like?

There is no conventional agenda and no professional networking / startup event to be expected!

💃 🌺There will be impulses served to create a space where we can open up our mind, heart and will to share whatever we want to share (fears, doubts, success, joy, or just listen), learn from each other or just simply enjoy our time together.

Who is it for? 🌞

Women* of all ages, skin colours, religions and belief systems, cultures, abilities, orientation, education and socio-economic backgrounds are welcome. Share this invitation with women* who will benefit from being a part of supportive community.

We want this community to be an inclusive one, so that women*, especially the ones from underrepresented backgrounds, feel that this group is for them. 🦋

At F*LC we co-create a space with you, where we can

• open up our minds, hearts
• are willing to share whatever we want to share (fears, doubts, success, joy, or just listen)
• learn from each other
• or just simply enjoy our time together

F*LC ranges around anything that concerns...

• Female* Leadership and how we define it
• Female* Entrepreneurship
• The Female* Career and Work/Life Experience

Topics of past F*LCs were...

• "Kick Off - Creating and defining the Female* Leadership Circle" (February '23)
• "Female* Leadership - What does it mean to you?" (March '23)
• "Scary Spaces in Business - How do we enter and rewrite them?" (April '23)
• "Scares, Struggles and Starting over - How our personal stories shape us and ignite our potential to unlock our hidden strengths" (June '23)
• "Summer renewal" (July '23)
• "The Female* Power of Mastering F**k-Ups" (August '23)
• "Authenticity: Re-Connecting" (September '23)

• "Closings & New Beginnings" (November '23)
• "Role Models of Female* Leadership: Who are they and how can we become one?" (January '24)
• "Stand up for your worth: Money Conversations" (February '24)

How can I co-host a F*LC get together?

At the end of each event/ get-together/meet up 2 participants volunteer as co-hosts for the next F*LC. Ideally the hosts have therefore attended at least one previous F*LC event.

If you haven't attended the F*LC before and still would like to co-host, please contact us at [email protected].

The co-host-volunteers will be then accompanied in 1-2 initial sessions (online or hybrid) by one of the co-coordinating team to take the next steps in designing the next F*LC content.

Administrative/ event-organization related tasks will be taken care of by the team, so the hosts can primarily focus on hosting the topic of the next F*LC.

We want to ensure that F*LC is a space where we all can co-create what the F*LC is about, as a participant or a co-host and where we continue to explore what matters to those who attend.
