Lean In Circles – A Leadership Development Experience for Women
Lean In Circles are small, supportive peer groups of women—led by trained facilitators—who come together regularly to build leadership skills, share experiences, and grow in a space rooted in trust and encouragement.
Each Circle includes 12–14 women and follows a curriculum developed by the Lean In Foundation, co-founded by Sheryl Sandberg (former COO of Facebook) and entrepreneur Rachel Thomas. Participants gain access to a rich library of expert-led content on topics like confident communication, navigating bias, building influence, and leading with authenticity—skills they can use immediately in both their professional and personal lives.
This free event is your chance to experience what a Lean In Circle is all about. Whether you’re an individual looking to grow or a company exploring ways to develop your rising talent, join us for a live, interactive session led by Denise Lee, Senior Human Resources Consultant at Herbein + Company and one of our trusted Lean In facilitators.
Plus – an exclusive opportunity! One attendee will win two tickets to the Reading Public Museum’s signature fundraiser, “Night at the Museum.” This high-profile event is a great chance to put your leadership and networking skills into action in a fun, confidence-building setting.
For Individuals:
If you’re thinking about what’s next in your career—or simply craving a space to connect, learn, and be inspired—this is your opportunity to invest in yourself.
For Employers:
If you have women in your organization who show promise, drive, or leadership potential, Lean In Circles offer a powerful way to support their growth. It’s a low-cost, high-impact investment in your future leaders.

What women are saying:
"Lean In was a unique experience that provided me with valuable advice and encouragement from women who have experience in industries and aspects of life. I would encourage friends and colleagues to attend to experience that sense of community, hear other's experiences and struggles and to share their own. You learn from each other."
"The most valuable aspect of the Lean In Circle for me was hearing everyone's stories and experiences. Being able to relate on a professional and personal level, and being able to share my struggles and experiences in a supportive setting free of judgement. The advice, ideas, and information I gained from my time in Lean In gave me a new prospective about myself, my job and my home life that I am so grateful for."
