Strategy Circles

Next Strategy Circle: "Reading the Corporate Room in 2026" (February 2026)

What are Strategy Circles?

Strategy Circles are facilitated, closed-door conversations where women come together to talk honestly about work.

Each Circle centres on a shared workplace theme, such as feedback, performance, visibility, communication, power, boundaries, or decision-making, and invites participants to bring real situations they’re navigating now.

In a small group, we slow moments down, unpack what’s actually happening underneath, and identify patterns so experiences aren’t carried alone or repeated again. This is where workplace situations are analysed against real corporate dynamics and pressure-tested — so you stop guessing how things will land and start moving with clearer judgement and safer next moves.

You do this alongside an intentional group of early-career women and intergenerationally experienced women, bringing both fresh perspective and hard-earned insight into the room.

Why attend a Strategy Circle?

Women attend Strategy Circles because they want:

context for what they’re experiencing
language for situations they haven’t been able to name
reassurance that others are seeing the same patterns
clarity on how to respond, not just how to feel

We move beyond theory into real scenarios, using case studies and practical language you can use in the moment — especially when emotions are high or the stakes feel unfamiliar.

The aim isn’t to change who you are.
It’s to help you respond with more clarity, steadiness, and strategy.

Who are Strategy Circles for?

Strategy Circles, which are based on lived experience, are particularly relevant for:

early-career women
first-generation professionals
women of colour
women navigating high-pressure or ambiguous work environments

You don’t need to have everything figured out to attend. You just need a willingness to think together.

Past Strategy Circle

Decoding the Performance Review

What we explored
Performance reviews are often positioned as objective — but in reality, they’re shaped by perception, bias, and unspoken expectations. In this Strategy Circle, we broke down how reviews are actually formed, read, and used to justify future decisions.

What to expect

A grounding story that set the context for how performance is interpreted in real workplaces
Two real-world scenarios (Danielle and Alice) reflecting:
- Struggling to Sell Yourself in Self-Review
- Vague and Biased Feedback
Collective discussion unpacking what was really happening beneath the language
Strategic guidance on how to document your work, respond to feedback, and protect your record

What women left with
Clearer language to interpret feedback, quieter ways to position their work, and practical tactics to avoid being misread or overlooked in future reviews.

Getting the Most Out of HR: Even When It Feels Hard

What we explored
HR is often framed as support — but many women experience it as procedural, distancing, or even risky. This Strategy Circle focused on understanding how HR actually functions, and how to engage without overexposing yourself.

What to expect

A grounding story on how HR decisions are shaped
An experienced guest speaker offering guidance on:
- Preparing for HR meetings
- Using language that protects your position
- Knowing what not to disclose too early
Three real-world scenarios (Lauren, Jackie, Danielle) reflecting:
- Workplace exclusion
- Bureaucratic deflection
- Retaliation and gaslighting
A collective insight session to sense-check decisions and next steps

How we closed
With clear, strategic tactics for navigating workplaces where visibility doesn’t always lead to protection — including how to document issues, reposition concerns, and maintain your corporate value without escalating prematurely.

This journal is for women navigating modern work environments that require constant judgement, self-management, and restraint.

Designed to help you document situations, clarify patterns, and think strategically about your next steps and corproate goals, Introspection creates a private space to reflect and execute. It supports you to process feedback, decisions, and workplace dynamics with language and intention, so you’re not carrying everything in your head.

£15

This journal is for neurodivergent people navigating neurotypical systems that were not built with them in mind.

It offers a structured space to process work, energy, communication, and boundaries without forcing yourself into productivity norms that don’t fit. The focus is on understanding your own rhythms, documenting experiences, and reducing internalised pressure.

This journal supports self-trust and creating self-sufficient systems, not self-correction.
