Lean In Circles
RESOURCES FOR WOMEN
DURING COVID-19

Reframing personal and professional success during COVID-19

We need community now more than ever

Circles are small groups of women who come together for real talk and peer support. Right now, Circles are meeting virtually and helping each other through the pandemic. We’re a global community and we’re continuing to lean on each other.

Resources to help you get through this

Life is fundamentally different during COVID-19, and your goals may need to change, too. Here are some practical resources to help you break your goals down into manageable steps, and celebrate small victories in both your personal and professional life. For more resources, check out our other topics here.

If you’re covering this topic in your virtual Circle this month, read one or more of the pieces below, then discuss as a group using our suggested questions at the end.

This set of curated materials was created in collaboration with our colleagues at Option B. OptionB.Org helps people build resilience and find meaning in the face of adversity.

Discussion questions for virtual Circles

These questions are designed to help you and your Circle members connect over common challenges, share your best strategies to overcome them, and workshop solutions together.

Pick one question to start with and move on to the other questions if you have time.

Reframing personal and professional success during COVID-19

  • What tiny victory (or victories) have you achieved in the past week?
  • Think about one professional goal you’ve been working toward. What’s one small step you can take toward that goal now?
  • Think about a priority in your personal life. What are some important ways you can keep working on it in this new climate?
  • What are some ways you’re going to go easy on yourself during this difficult time?
