Growth Circles
Women Scaling Their Leadership (2022-2023)

The Women Scaling their Leadership Growth Circle comprises a group of senior level women, who share a belief that expanding their leadership capacity is a critical means to achieve their developmental and professional objectives.  The Growth Circle offers a resource to focus on exploring ways to mutually benefit from the richness of a group setting by embracing and sharing common experiences, challenges and varied perspectives.  The Growth Circle is designed to focus on both existing and emergent professional challenges and opportunities.

The set of ideas and practices underpinning our time together comes from a body of work we call Complexity Fitness, which starts with the core question of how leaders can cultivate themselves to be fit for the world as it is–increasingly complex and often overwhelming.  As human beings, we are designed for a world in which we can predict and control, be experts, and feel competent and affirmed.  And this natural tendency gets reinforced throughout the early part of our lives.  In fact, leaders are rewarded for these very qualities–until they’re not.  And this pattern is even more pronounced for women, who tend to excel at figuring out what they need to do to be successful and, in the process, often advance in their early careers, only to encounter later that their hard work doesn’t necessarily translate into advancement at more senior levels. And when they don’t advance, many women respond by doubling down on hard work, other-orientation, and then find themselves exhausted and often frustrated.  

Grounded in decades of theory and practice of adult development, complexity theory, somatic awareness and practice, neuroscience-based positive intelligence, and the integration of change, this Growth Circle experience is designed to stretch and support you to be the leader you need and want to be next, while not losing yourself to overwhelm and exhaustion.
