The LEC Pod Experience

Your city. Your cohort.
Your community.

A Pod is not a networking group. It is a structured community of ambitious women in your city — meeting quarterly, building together, and holding each other to the standard they came here to reach.

Why a Pod, not a network

The room that holds you to it.

Most networking events leave you with business cards and good intentions. A Pod is different. Every woman in the room is a member — accountable to the same curriculum, the same rhythm, and the same standard.

You will know these women. They will know your business. And every quarter, you will sit in a room together and move things forward. That is not accidental — it is the whole point.

What makes a Pod different
01
Structured, not social. Every Pod event has a format, a facilitator and an outcome. No open mic, no passive listening — just applied, practitioner-led content.
02
Curated cohorts. Boardroom Sessions are capped at 20 members. You are not in a crowd — you are in a room where every person in it is specifically there to work on their business.
03
Accountability built in. When you know the same women will be in the room next quarter, you follow through differently. The Pod community is the accountability system.
04
Global access, local feel. Your home Pod is your city. But as a member, every Pod city is yours — visiting members are welcome at every event at member rates.
The four event formats

One standard. Four depths.

Format 01 · Informal
Brunch & Learn
2–3 hours · Open to members and guests

A relaxed late-morning session around a real business case study. One expert, one topic, facilitated introductions, and brunch included. Your first experience of the Pod — and a genuinely useful one.

Format 02 · Intensive
Boardroom Session
4–5 hours · Max 20 members · Curated cohort

Half-day, expert-facilitated, capped at 20 members. Hot seats, peer strategy groups, written action plan. You come with a problem. You leave with a plan and the peers who will hold you to it.

Format 03 · Immersive
3-Day Retreat
3 full days · Max 30 members · All meals included

Three days, one city, thirty women who take their businesses as seriously as you take yours. Morning strategy, afternoon implementation, evening connection. The most transformative event in the LEC calendar.

Format 04 · Online
Virtual Pod Session
90 minutes · All members globally · Recorded

Live content, virtual breakouts by industry, recorded replay. Every member in every city stays connected to their Pod every quarter — whether they can travel that window or not.

Five cities. One network.
