For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood. – Dolly Parton

LIA Spirals … Join us when you’re ready

A spiral is a geographically connected group of women in the Lean and Agile community that have come together to learn from and support each other. We use the metaphor of a spiral to indicate the bonds that connect women together, with the open end of the spiral to indicate open invitation.

Due the global pandemic, we’ve consolidated spirals into broader time zones so please join the spiral that best fits with your schedule. To learn more about spirals, please follow us on LinkedIn or join the Lean In Agile spirals group on meetup.com. Or contact us at leaninagile@leaninagile.org for more information about spiral sessions, becoming a catalyst or any other questions.

The LIA DMV spiral meets on the first Thursday of each month, from 6-8 pm EST. Led by a dynamic group of women including Padmini Nidumolu, Padma Putrevu, Poonam Agarwal, Meenakshi Iyer, and Alona Matsela, this group draws women from DC, Maryland and Virginia and provides a safe space for courageous conversations.

Australia/New Zealand

The LIA ANZ spiral is designed for the women in the Asia Pacific region, including New Zealand and Australia. This group, facilitated by Sofia Woloschin and Padma Putrevu, leverages the cross-cultural dynamics of the region to create a compelling atmosphere for partnership and growth. They meet monthly on Saturday mornings Australia time, which is Friday evening EST.

USA: New York City

The LIA NYC spiral meets on the third Wednesday of each month, approximately from 6-8 pm EST. Facilitated by Leila Rao and Kathy Ziet, this is a diverse group of women within and beyond the Agile community, who are dedicated to learning and growing together.

India/Nepal/Sri Lanka

Building upon our inaugural LIA events in New Delhi and Kathmandu, this was the first LIA spiral where we validated that we have in common is far more than our differences. Embracing women not from India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, this group is facilitated by Janaki Joshi, Janani Liyanage, Madhuri Shreshta, Padma Putrevu and Padma Satyamurthy, and meets Saturday morning EST which is early afternoon IST.
