Pillar’s Founder & CEO, Cindy Joyce, will be joining forces with Tamara Gardner, owner of Boldly Branded, to speak at the upcoming Lean In Boston event. The topic will be SuperHERoes: Making “Stronger Together” a Reality at Work.
Event Details:
It’s powerful when women connect and support each other – that’s a fact. However, the reality is that there are a lot of circumstances that act as a barrier to the “stronger together” mentality, especially at work.
Join us for an interactive and engaging discussion on:
What gets in the way of women supporting each other in the workplace
How to be a supporter, not a competitor even in a “vulture culture”
Strategies to build a personal “SuperHERro” network of all ages you can lean on and contribute to
I am excited to have been selected as a mentor on “Building Your Brand” Lean In Boston’s Speed Mentoring event on March 28th.
Please join us! Event details are available here. The Lean In Boston Chapter is committed to providing women in the Greater Boston Area with the tools, resources, and confidence to pursue their ambitions. They do this by:
Generating awareness via discussion and education about issues that can spark change.
Developing a community of both men and women who meet at monthly events to gain insights from one another, offer support to others and discover new opportunities.
Connecting locally to share challenges and successes within and across Lean In Circles
Together, they believe that Boston can be a leader in gender equality, helping to make the region and the world a better place for all of us. Learn more at www.leaninboston.org.
The other day, I co-facilitated a presentation for the Lean In Boston Circle for the inspiring women from PwC Advisory Services in the Seaport with Tamara Gardner of Becoming Bodacious. We saw the future of women at work in that room, and left energized to continue spreading the powerful message that women are more successful supporting and empowering each other than competing with each other. These women are superHERoes!
Lean In is a nonprofit organization and online community dedicated to helping all women achieve their ambitions.

Elaine Varelas, Managing Partner, Keystone Partners on Career Boosters and Busters
We all share the desire to achieve career success, but as women the challenges that we face in the workforce are unique and the things that we need to do to drive career success are not always obvious. Additionally, many of us do things to derail our career and we don’t even know it. In this interactive session, Elaine Varelas will review the top career boosters and busters and show you how to avoid these insidious career derailers, while making changes (big and small) that will boost your career to the next level.
