A WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP COLLECTIVE in Kansas city

Take notes, then take over

Welcome to the thread Kansas City

Research shows that many women want to take on a bigger leadership role but two things hold them back: confidence and connection. Our mission is to champion women on their journey to both professional and personal success by creating a supportive ecosystem that cultivates self-confidence and fosters meaningful connections. It’s professional development…done differently. Our program focuses on the whole person because we believe that work is a part of life, not a separate item to be “balanced”.

Experience Connection

We are a community of women creating space in our full lives to focus on growth. No matter our backgrounds, we can always find a common thread running through our experiences, making us stronger.
