Do you identify as a Black woman driven by goals and aspirations? Do you value building community and are committed to continuous growth and development? Have you encountered obstacles in achieving the goals you have set for yourself? If so, our Peer Group for Black Women is designed specifically for you!
This dynamic group provides a supportive environment for women committed to advancing and succeeding. Whether you aspire to climb the corporate ladder, start your own business, transition into a new field, or serve on a board, this group offers the structure, accountability, and encouragement you need to succeed.
Throughout the program, we address common challenges ambitious Black women face, including workplace microaggressions, limiting beliefs, and managing energy and an over-full calendar.

A Learning Circle is an opportunity to connect with a small group of other Athena members in a focused yet casual setting, creating accountability around targeted learning to assist you in achieving your goals. Over the course of 6 sessions, club members will meet every 2 weeks to participate in an organic, peer-led discussion of the session's "chapters" consisting of 1-2 Athena salons which are to be reviewed on your own prior to the group session. When joining, members are committing to completing all 6 sessions.
Typically led by one of Athena's coaches, networking events provide members an opportunity to meet one another in a smaller intimate and virtual setting.
These are typically in-person events led by Coco and our partnering companies on topics that are relevant to the industry and audience of our business partners.
A workshop is an interactive session for members to actively practice something, such as their pitch. These sessions typically involve breakout rooms, member to member feedback and are not recorded.
For members new to Athena looking for ways to engage, these bi-weekly orientations led by an Athena Member Success Manager, provide a live tour of Athena, member success insights, and a chance to get questions answered.
Athena customizes virtual learning events with expert business leaders tailored to a unique company’s needs. These events cultivate cross-functional community, development, and learning across the partner organization.
Athena listens and we're always adding new event types and opportunities for members to engage. See what new events we are currently offering members.
