Sisterhood at Work: Why Peer Support Changes Everything

Session 7: Sisterhood at Work - Why Peer Support Changes Everything

Part of the Choose to Grow x Own My Life Partnership Series: Women at Work & Leadership 2026

The Story Behind the Series

When women come together, things change. For too long, workplaces have quietly encouraged competition over collaboration, rewarding individual achievement but overlooking the power of community. Yet, when women support each other, the results are transformational, not just for them, but for their organisations, too.

Research shows that:

• Women with strong workplace networks are 2.5x more likely to be promoted into leadership (Harvard Business Review, 2023)

• 70% of women say that mentorship and peer support improved their confidence and wellbeing at work (McKinsey, 2024)

• When women share experiences of bias, control, or burnout, their sense of belonging doubles and isolation decreases significantly (LeanIn, 2023)

  
  

That’s why Choose to Grow and Own My Life created this partnership series to not only empower individual women, but to build cultures of sisterhood, where women thrive together. This 30-minute micro-session explores how peer support changes everything, from personal confidence to workplace culture, and how you can start creating your own sisterhood right where you are.

Why This Series Exists

The Choose to Grow x Own My Life Partnership Series exists to help women build safer, more empowering workplaces, one conversation, one connection, one sisterhood at a time. Sisterhood is how we break silence, challenge bias, and build cultures of belonging. It’s not just about empowerment, it’s about evolution. Each 30-minute session in this series is designed to give women insight, courage, and community. Together, we rise, and when we rise, we bring others with us.
