Join us for an engaging session delving into the critical themes of equity and transparency in pay. Our discussion traverses trends observed from the United States to the European Union and back, and explores the nuances of the EU Directive alongside the evolving landscape of laws in the United States. Additionally, we delve into the rising phenomenon of employee activism, examining its impact on shaping organizational policies and practices.
During the session, you, as the attendee, will have the opportunity to engage from dual perspectives:
As a Leader: Explore strategies for effectively articulating developments in pay equity and transparency to your team members, fostering an environment of trust and understanding.
As an Employee: Reflect on your personal stance regarding pay transparency and equity, empowering yourself to advocate for fairness and accountability within your workplace.
We dedicated ample time for open dialogue and questions, which encouraged a collaborative exploration of the topic. Together, we navigate the complexities of pay equity and transparency, empowering leaders and employees alike to “own their worth” in alignment with our theme for April.

We have an incredible community of female leaders at Athena and we want to bring you closer together! Join a Peer Group and build a network of peers you can engage with for guidance, lessons learned and insights around a shared interest. Choose a topic that most interests you or drop in and out of multiple peer groups as it suits you best. You’ll find at least one peer group available to join every week. Each live session goes for one hour, no preparation is needed, just show up as you are. We look forward to seeing you there!
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.
