Join Inforum's newest affinity group for networking and conversation with other women who are entrepreneurs.

Creating space for women to embrace every part of who they are-at work and beyond. We are so much more than our job titles, and this group is about making room for those conversations.

Through hands‑on exercises, real‑world scenarios, and guided reflection, participants learn to recognize how their tone, timing, body language, and daily stressors influence the way they lead. They’ll examine common leadership patterns—like over‑communicating or going silent—and discover how small, intentional shifts can dramatically improve clarity, trust, and engagement.
