2025 Ring Schedule & Information

Ring FAQs

  • To reinforce the lessons learned in the WILpower workshops and apply what participants learn to their professional lives, the WILpower Program includes smaller informal discussion groups known as Rings. These groups are comprised of 4 - 6 women who attend workshops together. Rings are facilitated by WILpower alums volunteers who have experienced the impact of the WILpower Program first-hand.

    No two Rings are exactly alike, as each will reflect the personality of the women and their unique goals for participating in WILpower. Even so, the goal for each Ring is to:

    • Connect with women to share key takeaways and learnings from WILpower

    • Share professional victories and challenges

    • Speak candidly about current and stretch goals

    • Provide social accountability and encourage each other to leverage their WILpower “toolbox”

  • Rings take place in the week following the monthly Workshop. The first Ring happens directly after the Workshop.

  • Rings are scheduled for 1 hour, but can extend if the conversation is good and folks have time to stay longer.

  • If you are going miss a Ring session, please let your Ring Leader know. You are welcome to review the schedule and attend another. The Zoom link is the same for all Rings.

    Please note that the certificate only requires that you attend the Workshops. That said, we believe Rings are an integral part of the WILpower experience and we encourage you to attend as often as you can!

  • While you are initially assigned a Ring, you are welcome to swap.

    Please let your former Ring Leader know you are making the change and reach out to the new Ring Leader to let them know you plan to join theirs.

  • You are welcome to attend as many Ring sessions as you like! While you are assigned a default Ring, you are welcome to drop into others, meet more participants, and dig into the topics you learned in the last Workshop.

  • All of Ring Leaders are alums of the WILpower Program, volunteering their time to support your experience! They partner with Katie Tanko, our Director of Rings, to make sure we’re having great discussions coming out of each Workshop.

    If you are interested in volunteering with WILpower once you complete the program, please contact us.
