Lean In 50 Ways to Fight Bias

The program is specific and solutions oriented, rooted in research and designed to engage men.

A Lean In Circle is a small group of (usually) 8-12 women and men who meet regularly to support one another and learn new skills. It’s a place where women can be unapologetically ambitious. We know Circles are making a difference: 85% of members credit their Circle with a positive change in their life, and almost two-thirds of women in Circles have taken on a new challenge.
Gender Bias is unequal treatment due to attitudes based on gender. At work it manifests itself in subtle ways like when women’s ideas are ignored or women are not included in meetings or discussions. Gender bias is a preference, conscious or unconscious, for working with one gender over another. Unconscious bias is incredibly hard to fix because by definition the person denies such a preference exists. That’s why changing corporate cultures is going to take a strategic grassroots approach. It starts by learning the facts.
