The Women Leading Women Syndicate

It’s 1 a.m. in Australia and Women Leading Women founder Karen Brinkley is online with her own circle of leaders — a community that mirrors the connection, support, and brilliance found in The Women Leading Women Syndicate. These spaces remind us that leadership doesn’t have to be lonely.

Connection that crosses distance

Whether it’s an online session or an in-person gathering, the energy of a syndicate is the same — women who get it. Women who understand the pressures, the expectations, and the courage it takes to lead authentically. Within The Women Leading Women Syndicate, those connections create the kind of professional nourishment that keeps you going long after the Zoom call ends.

Leadership without competition

Karen describes these circles as the antidote to rivalry. They replace aggression with collaboration, and competition with compassion. Instead of fighting for a seat at someone else’s table, syndicate members design their own — one that welcomes, includes, and encourages women to lead with strength and softness.

Expanding opportunities for women leaders

The Women Leading Women Syndicates are now expanding to include senior executives across the public sector, universities, local government, government-owned corporations, and soon, emerging non-executive directors. Each syndicate offers a trusted space to learn, share, and grow with women who are on similar leadership journeys.

If you’re seeking genuine professional sisterhood — a place where you can be brave, real, and inspired — Karen invites you to connect through the Women Leading Women website or LinkedIn. Together, we rise through collaboration, not competition.
