MING Leadership Circles
Beginning in 2025, we are pleased to announce that we will be launching MING Leadership Circles, a new venture that will offer leaders in the social impact sector the opportunity to co-create a cohort program designed to provide the space and support the leaders need most. The inaugural MING Leadership Circles will support senior social impact leaders who are interested in exploring topics and trends that impact the leadership journeys of (1) Women & Nonbinary Operational Leaders and (2) Executive Men of Color.
Senior leaders in the social impact sector are experiencing burnout and considering or actually exiting the sector at alarming rates. The role of a social impact leader is inherently isolating–there are many issues these leaders cannot share with their staff, board, or funders. And research into this trend reveals leaders are increasingly seeking shelter in external networks and communities that can provide the space, support, and resources they need. A recent study completed by our team at MING and our partners shows that, next to family members and close friends, peer groups offer social impact leaders the refuge they need by providing peer networking, a sense of belonging, and an opportunity to hit pause on the daily stress of their day-to-day work and life.
MING Leadership Circles will offer programming through virtual sessions, asynchronous meet-ups, a community listserv, and a Restorative Convening. Leaders participating in MING Leadership Circles will have the opportunity to build strong bonds, create a new community of belonging, and contribute to designing a space where wisdom and experience can be freely shared and solutions are collectively created. For this inaugural year, MING Leadership Circles will be focused on:
creating opportunities and sharing information to enable more social impact leaders to live their best lives and do their best work.
providing and receiving individual and collective support to accelerate learning and insight into vocation and life
