A Lean In Circle for Women Leaders

Women leaders, in good company.

PNW Execs is a Lean In Circle for women leading teams, businesses, and organizations on the Eastside. We talk candidly, share what we've learned, and back each other up.

Join the Circle

A community, not a pitch night

Nobody is selling anything. Nobody is putting on a show. We bring actual executive experience to the table and talk openly about what it takes to lead.

Topics that matter

We cover what leaders deal with every day: navigating power, career moves, setbacks, and figuring out what's next. The conversations are direct, helpful, and strictly confidential.

Local, lasting connections

We meet across the Eastside in Issaquah, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Redmond, and Snoqualmie. The goal is simple: build a network of local women who know your work, know your name, and take your call.

Who it's for

Seasoned executives, rising leaders, and women navigating a next chapter. Mixing different senior perspectives keeps the room sharp and useful.

Seasoned executives

Women leading teams, functions, and companies, who want peers who understand the weight of the role and speak plainly about it.

Rising leaders

Women moving into leadership who want to learn from women ahead of them on the path, and to be taken seriously while they grow.

Women in a next chapter

Women reshaping their careers, returning, consulting, or building something of their own. Experience like that belongs in the room.

Supported by local partners

Local businesses host our gatherings and invest in women leaders on the Eastside.

Started in October 2026 by co-founders Debbie Larson, Jen McGill Walker, and Elizabeth Laughlin, three women who wanted a straightforward, high-caliber room on the Eastside.
