After-Work Hangout: Women's Leadership Circle

  • 6 May 2025
  • 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
  • 149 Wallace St

Step into a relaxed space to unwind after work!

Are you looking to connect with women who are passionate about leadership in the Central Vancouver Island region?

Join the Women’s Leadership Circle — a non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, with whatever’s on your mind and in your heart. 

Through conversations that dig beneath the surface, we’ll explore fresh perspectives on familiar challenges, share strategies to thrive at work and in life, and develop meaningful relationships that lift each other up.

What to expect:

6:00-6:15: Arrival & Settling In

6:15-6:30: Welcome & Intentions

6:30-7:15: Listening Circle (Theme for May 6: Navigating Change During Uncertainty)

7:15-8:00: Community Exchange

Whether you’re leading a team, a project, or the change you wish to see in the world, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or even frustrated at times — especially when you care deeply about your work. 

You’re not alone. Connecting with other leaders can help you quiet doubts and reignite your spark.

During the Listening Circle, each participant will have the opportunity to share thoughts or feelings around the evening’s theme. Others will be invited to listen deeply, reflect back, or ask thoughtful questions — without jumping into “fix it” mode, unless support is requested.

In the Community Exchange, we’ll reflect on the insights from the circle, notice any shared themes, and offer ideas, resources, or support based on what emerged. This is a space for collective wisdom and mutual growth.

The Women’s Leadership Circle centers the experiences of women and gender-diverse people. While all genders are welcome, we aim to foster curiosity, understanding, and peer allyship.

The gathering will be facilitated by Crystal Lee, MPH, CPCC — a holistic career coach, workshop leader, and the host of The After Work Hangout podcast. With over a decade of experience building community, from social impact potlucks to laughter yoga in the park, Crystal believes that magic happens in groups.

Please register on eventbrite! Free for members of My Inner Harbour, $10 for non-members. There is also an option to pay what you want at the door.
