Finding New Ways to Lead

Our world is changing in profound ways, and leaders are faced with challenges they could not have imagined. This is especially true for women leaders and other change agents who are navigating heightened complexity while working to create systemic change in their communities, organizations and beyond in service of creating a more equitable, inclusive and just world. 

Sister Leader Circles 

Founded by Vernice Jones, Sister Leader Circles is a ten-session cohort program held over the course of a year. It aims to support the growth and development of leaders who are doing incredible work within their worlds. The Circle provides a sacred space and sisterhood to support one another in nourishing and life altering ways, and is designed to amplify members’ impact.

Leaders meet virtually to learn, connect and explore real leadership challenges in community. During the first half of the program, the Circle explores topics such as navigating complexity and the dynamics of power and rank. During the second half of the Circle experience, the sessions become virtual ‘Sister Leader Salons,' where each session features one Sister Leader navigating a real world challenge.
