Lean In Canada

If the system is not working for women, how do we start to change it?

Why does Lean In matter today?

Juliet Turpin, President of Lean In Canada, speaks to the power of intentional community. In a world where networks often happen by chance, Lean In creates space for connection that is thoughtful, purposeful, and rooted in growth.

It is more than networking, it is an opportunity to build relationships that support your leadership and open new possibilities.

Sana Lajporiya, Co-President at Lean In Vancouver, shares how Lean In became a space of support during moments of transition. Because when things shift, in your career, your life, or your identity, having a community to turn to is not just helpful, it is essential.

This is why Lean In exists. To ensure women are supported not just in moments of success, but through the in-between.

What are women really asking for to thrive at work?

Hear from our Director of Marketing and Communications, Eleanor Kuan, as she reflects on the insights behind Lean In Canada’s 2026 Calls to Action report.

Based on responses from 450+ women across Canada, the report highlights a clear shift. Women are not asking for more confidence; they are asking for better systems. Support that shows up during transitions, leadership communities that evolve over time, and pathways that make it possible to stay connected.

These insights challenge us to rethink how we design workplaces, leadership spaces, and communities that truly support women’s growth.

What would change if support actually matched the reality of women’s careers?

Hear from our Vice President, Cathy Cowan, as she shares her perspective on Lean In Canada’s 2026 Calls to Action report.

The findings reflect what many women already know, leadership journeys are not linear, and current systems are not designed to keep up. From navigating transitions to balancing evolving identities and responsibilities, women are calling for support that is continuous, intentional, and built for real life.

This report is not just a reflection, it is a roadmap for what needs to change.

What is the best career advice you’ve ever received?
We asked, and Sasha Howell, Executive Assistant at the University Health Network , and panelists at our Give to Gain IWD event, said it best: no one rises alone.
A simple reminder with powerful implications. Growth, leadership, and opportunity are not built in isolation, they are shaped through community, support, and the people who advocate for us along the way.

At Lean In Canada, we see this every day. When women invest in each other, doors open, confidence grows, and impact multiplies.
