Standing out can be powerful. Explore ways to navigate being “the only” with confidence, community & purpose.
About this Event

Being the only one in the room, whether it’s the only woman, the only person of color, or simply the only person with your perspective, can be isolating and exhausting. The pressure to represent your entire group or prove your worth can take a toll, but you’re not alone in those experiences. By naming those moments, celebrating your achievements, and surrounding yourself with supportive peers and mentors, you can reclaim your confidence and sense of belonging. With the right tools and community, you can turn that feeling of being “the only” into a source of strength and visibility.

Sign up to join us for an open and empowering conversation on how to navigate these moments through shared stories, guided reflection, and connection with others who truly understand what it’s like to be the only one.

The Women at Work Collection

The Women at Work Lean In Circle invites women professionals to connect, share, listen, and support each other. This Circle is a space for like-minded women to cultivate new leadership skills and learn research-backed strategies to advance their careers, all while providing peer mentorship and support.

We understand the unique challenges and opportunities women face in the workplace, and this Circle aims to develop a safe, simple, nonjudgmental space for women to connect, learn from each other, grow, and transform together.

Based on decades of extensive academic research and insights from the global community, Lean-In provides tools that address the topics most important to women at work. It's a program designed specifically for women, by women.

What to expect at circle sessions:

  • Researched Topics: Read and learn about tips, tricks, and advice based on women-researched discussions.
  • Interactive Activities: Engaging activities to help you think and apply the advice to your situation.
  • Meaningful Connect: Share your story, ask questions, and connect with others who have gone through or are going through similar situations as yourself!

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to support, learn, and grow! Reserve your spot today!
