In 2019, I discovered the concept of Lean In circles and kicked off the Lean In Network in Slovakia. It's a movement and philosophy aimed at empowering women to pursue their ambitions and achieve professional success. "Lean In" encourages women to lean into their careers, take on leadership roles, and advocate for themselves in the workplace. The movement emphasizes the importance of mentorship, networking, and breaking down barriers that hinder women's progress in the corporate world—more on leanin.org.
