In Circles, small peer groups meet on a regular basis for ongoing support and growth. Lean In provides all the materials needed to run a successful Circle, including a world-class leadership curriculum with videos and discussion guides on topics from finding a sponsor to becoming a transformational leader.
73% of women in Circles feel equipped to be better leaders as a result of being part of a Circle.

More than 100,000 Lean In Circles have been started in 183 countries and at over 3,000 companies—including P&G, Salesforce, and Medtronic. Companies of all sizes use Lean In Circles to help connect women with the peer support they need to reach their goals.
Learn how to fight bias with 50 Ways to Fight Bias
50 Ways to Fight Bias is a free program for all employees that takes the guesswork out of identifying and challenging workplace bias and provides specific, research-based recommendations for what to say and do. Research shows bias training is more effective when tied to realistic situations. That’s why Lean In has created over 50 “cards” with specific examples of bias in hiring, promotions, and everyday workplace interactions with practical recommendations for what to say and do in the moment.
This toolkit provides everything you need to run a 60- to 90-minute IWD x 50 Ways to Fight Bias workshop (optimized for virtual sessions), where participants can expect to:
- Watch a short video to learn about the most common types of biases that women face at work.
- Discuss specific examples of bias, brainstorm solutions together, and learn research-backed recommendations for what to do.
- Commit to one way they will Accelerate Action and fight bias.
50 Ways to Fight Bias has been used by thousands of organizations, including Amazon, PayPal, Walmart, and the Wharton MBA Program—and it works. 95% of program participants are more committed to challenging bias, and 96% of managers feel better equipped to discuss bias with their teams.
