Lean In Network, Singapore

What is Lean In? LeanIn.Org was founded by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg to empower all women to achieve their ambitions. It offers inspiration and support through a network of 500+ partners, an online community and free expert lectures. Since the organization’s launch in March 2013, the LeanIn.Org community has grown to over 800,000 women and men and more than 33,000 Lean In Circles in over 150 countries. What we believe Women accomplish amazing things when we support each other. When a woman helps another woman, they both benefit. And when women celebrate one another’s accomplishments, we’re all lifted up. Together women can do more, go further, and change the world.
