​Quiet Leaders Lab is a free, monthly gathering for quiet, thoughtful leaders who want to slow down, notice how we’re showing up as leaders, and explore experiments that help us lead more at ease and more true to ourselves.

​Each month, we’ll hold one guiding question together (for example: How do I want to relate to visibility in a way that feels more at ease and more true to me?).

​This month’s focus is Managing Up

​How do we manage up effectively?

​Many quiet leaders feel invisible when it comes to being seen by their senior leaders. Our direct reports may understand how effective we are as leaders, yet it can sometimes feel like there is a brick wall between us and senior leadership.

​At the same time, when senior leaders truly see our work and impact, it can open the door to new opportunities and support.

​Together, we’ll gently explore questions such as:

• ​How can we show up with senior leaders in ways that help them understand our values and impact?

• ​How do we receive the sponsorship needed to move forward in our careers?

• ​What might be blocking us from being fully seen?

• ​How can we share our impact with senior leaders in ways that feel authentic and sustainable?

​Rather than trying to “fix” ourselves, we’ll slow down and notice what’s actually happening — and what kind of leadership presence feels most authentic and sustainable for us.

​We’ll spend time:

• ​Checking in

• ​Exploring the question through gentle, facilitated quiet reflection with optional sharing

• ​Identifying a small, personal experiment to carry into the coming month with optional sharing

​This is not a workshop or training. There’s no fixing, no pressure to speak, and no expectation to arrive with answers.

​It’s a shared space to notice, reflect, and experiment gently — alongside other quiet leaders.

​Come as you are. Leave with something small and true to try.

​A few notes about the space

• ​This is a facilitated group space, not therapy or formal training.

• ​Please treat what others share as confidential and shared in trust.
  Insights and learnings may be carried forward; personal stories and identities should not be shared outside the Lab.

• ​The session may be recorded for the organizer’s learning and improvement only. Recordings will not be shared.

• ​Some AI tools (such as meeting transcription or summaries) will be used to support facilitation and learning.

​Ticket Types:

• ​Join for Free → attend at no cost

• ​Gift to Support → suggested price of $10 to help sustain the Lab

​Both options give full access to the session — choosing the gift to support is completely optional.
