Women's Forum

About this forum

The most influential leaders in the world — the ones reshaping healthcare, finance, government, and tech — struggle with the consequences of unseen and unaddressed egoic patterns. What makes Signal Forums different is that we are here to meaningfully disrupt those patterns.

With decades of experience facilitating forums around the globe (YPO, CLG, Vistage, EO, Kauffman Fellows), we know what it takes to create the conditions for sustainable transformation:

• Disruption is key, which requires being meaningfully uncomfortable
• Consistent practice between Forum meetings is a non-negotiable
• Being careful gets in the way. Unedited feedback is expected
• Collective transparency is a core commitment. That means no secrets
• Aversions are named so shadows can be liberated and connections deepened
