As Global Women programme alumnae, your first year of Power Circle is on us. It’s a space to strengthen cross-cohort connections and extend your learning, grounded in the cycles of reciprocity and the tuakana–teina relational model, where each of us is both teacher and learner, mentor and mentee. You will have access to events, online mentoring circles, tirohanga (fortnightly insights), and the Power Circle knowledge hub.

After your first year, you may choose to continue your Power Circle journey at a cost of $250 annually.

As a Partner, Power Circle gives your wāhine access to Aotearoa’s largest women’s leadership network. It strengthens connections, confidence, and capability. By offering Power Circle to your wāhine, you position your brand at the heart of a national movement, extending your reach and deepening your organisation’s impact. 

Power Circle is complimentary for Partner organisations.
