Women in discussion at a previous Women Connect Event.
Discover why sharing professional development resources is key for women in business—and join us at Women Connect: Chapters of Change to start your next chapter.
Behind every woman’s success is a circle of support—and often, it starts with a simple shared resource.
When we pass along the tools that have helped us grow, it may feel like we’re simply sharing a good recommendation—but really, that simple action could change the course of another woman’s success.
A book that reframed how you lead.
A podcast that finally made something click.
A quote that carried you through a hard season of life.
When we share the resources that shape us, we help shape the women around us. It’s simple, powerful—and it creates lasting impact.
Why Sharing Resources is Important
Leadership isn’t a solo journey. For women balancing ambition, career growth and personal life, finding trusted resources can be the difference between hitting a wall or breaking through.
Sharing these resources creates a community of learning and support. When one woman recommends a book, podcast or tool that helped her develop confidence or sharpen her skills, she’s offering a pathway for others to follow and adapt in their own unique ways.
This exchange builds stronger leadership across the board, empowering women to innovate, inspire and lead with greater impact. It’s not just about the resources themselves; it’s about the connection and encouragement they represent.

On Tuesday, June 24, the Women Connect community will gather for Chapters of Change: Sharing Resources That Reshape Us to Be Better — a collaborative, book club-style event where we celebrate the tools that have inspired us—and invite you to pass them on.

- Book Exchange — bring a favorite, take a favorite
- Bookmark Creation — craft something special to mark your next great read
- Bingo-Style Networking — connect in a fun, low-pressure way
- Drinks and Light Apps — because growth pairs well with snacks!
Let’s build each other up through the power of sharing—because your next breakthrough could be waiting on someone else’s bookshelf.
