A Call to Action. Start or Join a Lean In Circle.
"The Defense Department is providing "unconditional" support for "Lean In Circles," or peer-to-peer mentoring groups, to help in empowering women and to propel them into leadership roles, Defense Secretary Ash Carter.
The Defense Department, Carter said, will provide space and time for service members and civilians to participate in the circles. The meetings are voluntary and open to everyone. The secretary added that he highly encourages everyone to "take advantage of DoD spaces made available before, after or during work hours" for these meetings, whether in the Pentagon or around the globe.
The circles are an "investment in our people and our future," he said, explaining that the meetings boost morale and productivity and help to build diverse leadership. "

"Lean In Circles are small groups who meet regularly to learn and grow together. Circles are as unique as the individuals who start them, but they all share a common bond: the power of peer support. Women are asking for more and stepping outside their comfort zones, and women and men are talking openly about gender issues for the first time."

That is so awesome! We've been using stock photos from the DoD library, and that one was one of my favorites. To know there's a meaningful story behind it is even better. Cordila Jochim
