We all need places where we’re seen and heard. This is especially true for women who are in the business arena. Not only do we have the crush of a changing workforce and shifting economic conditions, but we often live with the immense challenge of balancing our families with work while operating within leftover standards of the patriarchal culture. In short, we need smart, non-competitive colleagues who are co-invested in our progress and exude the trustworthiness of friends.
Research shows that supportive relationships are a #1 priority for women. But not just any relationships. Relationships that are exothermic — enlarging and elevating us while providing loving challenge and support.
In Japan these are called “moais.” They’re a leading contributor to long and happy lives in what author Daniel Buettner discovered in his research in Blue Zones.
We are dedicated to the importance of these relationships for women. With our decades in business, facilitation of executive women’s groups for Chief – the largest executive women’s network in the country – and our own client work with individual leaders and groups, we’re thrilled to host these Conscious Business Women’s Circles. We know they will give you confidence, courage, and a path forward in your professional and personal development.

“I loved the incubation that happened in the middle of this circle of women. Sue and the group led me to the glorious mix of a successful business idea that built on several of my visions. And connecting regularly was a huge huge gift. It has changed my life.”
~ Mary Ewen, CEO, Entrepreneur, Founder
Because many of us have not been witnessed and championed as much as men in our culture, it’s powerful to experience spaces that welcome our emerging feminine insights, deep reflection, and birthing new ideas into form. Ideas that we articulate to wise experienced ears have a far better chance of taking form in new behaviors and plans when incubated within the context of a supportive sisterhood.
