LEAN IN
CIRCLES
Lean in Circles is a tailor-made peer-to-peer empowering program, having a supporting group working frame, that was successfully implemented within Vodafone in other countries.
It is a joint-venture program that we are doing together with Vodafone Romania, being inspired, designed and based on the lean in global initiative, that encourages women to pursue their ambitions, moving the conversation from what a person cannot do, to what they can do.
Organized in 8 meetings (circles) and structured into monthly meetings series, the program encourages the development of non-technical (soft) skills, supporting each participant to evolve at their own pace and addresses topics such as those related to strengths and unidentified capabilities, personal branding, the balance between personal and professional life and adaptability.
The circles consist of small groups of women who meet regularly,
in order to learn new skills, network, and encourage each other.
The circles are done in the following steps:
-
A kick-off meeting;
-
A personal strengths test completed by each participant;
-
1 on 1 meeting with the circle coach for a strength analysis test;
-
6 LEAN IN circle meetings with up to 20 participants
-
Closing meeting.
The program is sponsored 100% by Vodafone Romania and is offered at no fee for the selected 10 BWFR members
The deadline to submit the application is CLOSED NOW - follow up for future openings.

Lean In Circles values:
We experience important values that we will be upholding in every circle:
1. Sharing - encouraging every participant to share her ideas, challenges and remain open to hear other participants’ feedback;
2. Positivity - keeping a positive atmosphere that allows the participants to open up and share their ideas;
3. Ideas - every idea is important and can stimulate others’ creativity, inside the circle;
