Lessons in Leadership is for leaders eager to grow. Beginning in February 2022, join fellow CXers on the 1st Tuesday of every month for a conversation about a relevant leadership topic to grow in knowledge, learn from others, and identify ways to stretch yourself. Each month we will have a guest presenter who will share their experience and philosophies about leadership. 

Whether you are a manager or project leader, new entrant to the workforce with company leadership on the horizon, an entrepreneur leading in a variety of ways, or an executive, you are welcome to join Lessons in Leadership. Real discussion leads to evolving mindsets and behaviors, and the CX virtual environment is comfortable for open discussion and sharing.

Are you ready to participate in a confidential small group with other women, to connect on a more personal level, sharing stories, experiences, successes, and challenges?

Central Exchange is committed to offering women the ongoing inspiration and support to help them achieve their goals, and we are very excited to announce our newest Exchange Circle, “Lean In” beginning in January 2022.

Based on Sheryl Sandberg’s book, Lean In, this new Exchange Circle is facilitated by Amanda Hahn and Stacey Dershem, and will focus on encouraging women to pursue their ambitions and change the conversation from what we can’t do to what we can do.

The Lean In Exchange Circle provides you an opportunity to connect with other women and share experiences that allow you to get to know each other by tapping into each other’s ideas and giving support. The group dynamics will grow and change throughout the upcoming year based on the participation of the group’s attendees.

Due to the personal, confidential nature of the conversations, this Exchange Circle is limited to 12 attendees and and each person is committing to attend for a minimum of 6 months. Please refer to the program calendar for session availability.

Friday Fun Lunch is a group of assorted, changeable (but not interchangeable) women (usually) who just want to take a break, meet a few people they don’t know, and just see what happens — because after all, you always need a fun lunch on a Friday. Anyone who joins us is by definition fun, clever, smart, and ready to have a good time. You can expect no agenda — though it doesn’t mean we’re topic-less — and a great lunch (always).

Take time for yourself and join us for the best Friday of your month.

It does not matter the stage you are within your career; you are welcome to join the WiSTEMM Exchange Circle at any time. We have the power to support, inspire, and build each other up within our field!
