Women's Leadership Roundtable
16 Leaders. 12 Months. One Trusted Table.
Presented by The Spark Effect in partnership with The Fractional Network
Leadership can be crowded — and still feel surprisingly isolating. The Women's Leadership Roundtable is a 12-month leadership experience intentionally limited to 16 executive women. It is not designed to be the largest room. It is designed to be the right room.
Leadership Development Through Relationships
Some of the most valuable leadership development happens through the people sitting beside us. When those experiences are brought into a trusted environment, the collective intelligence of the room becomes incredibly powerful.
A Place for Candid Executive Conversations
There are conversations leaders cannot always have with their teams. The Roundtable creates space for those conversations — about leadership, growth, culture, career transitions, decision-making, and navigating change.
Collaboration Over Competition
The most powerful professional relationships begin with a different question: How can I help? When accomplished people approach relationships from a place of contribution, trust develops, relationships deepen, and opportunity becomes a natural byproduct.
Led by Kim C. Shaw
The Women's Leadership Roundtable is led by Kim C. Shaw, whose leadership through The Spark Effect is centered on creating environments where leaders can connect, develop, and create meaningful impact. A single event can create inspiration. A 12-month relationship can create transformation.
Why 12 Months Matters
Relationships require time. Trust requires repetition. The Roundtable is structured as a 12-month cohort rather than a series of disconnected events. The same leaders continue the journey together — learning each other's businesses, watching decisions play out, celebrating progress, and becoming genuinely invested in one another's success.
The Right People Change the Conversation
Great leaders do not develop in isolation. They are challenged, encouraged, and introduced to new ideas by other leaders. That is what this table represents — a place to think, contribute, challenge, grow, and belong.
