Women in Corporate Circles

For women who want to lead with purpose, connect with depth, and redefine networking on their own terms.

Navigating the corporate world as a woman comes with unique challenges, often requiring balance between authenticity and workplace norms. This event series is exclusively designed for women working in corporate environments—including those in corporations, NGOs, and other structured professional settings—to connect, build meaningful relationships, and advance their leadership skills.

The story behind these Circles

When I moved to a new country and began my transition into entrepreneurship, I knew I needed to build a network. But every traditional networking event I attended felt empty—30-second intros, surface-level conversations, and no meaningful follow-up. As an introvert, I left more drained than inspired.

So I chose a different path. I started building my network one coffee and one deep conversation at a time.

A year later, through my work facilitating women’s circles, I found myself surrounded by conscious, ambitious women. I kept playing matchmaker—introducing one woman to another—and watched as career relationships and job opportunities started to form naturally. I realized something powerful was happening.

We didn’t just need more networking—we needed a space for intentional connection and career growth rooted in authenticity.

Many of the women I met were navigating demanding corporate roles, and I saw how much they craved room to explore what conscious leadership could look like within their organizations.

That’s why I created Women in Corporate Circles—a space to bring it all together: meaningful networking, deep personal growth, and practical tools for thriving as a woman in today’s corporate world.

This is what women are saying

  • Isabel had a unique approach to networking that fostered deeper connections. We spent time in small groups reflecting on our achievements from the past year and sharing our goals for the future. It was great to hear everyone's action plans and offer each other feedback.

    What I loved most was Isabel's passion for creating a supportive community of ambitious women. We’re all skilled and professional individuals, but together, we truly create "magic!"

  • I had an amazing time at the Women in Corporate Circles event with Isabel Fonseca, focusing on building your confidence. It was such a meaningful experience connecting and sharing with other women. We celebrated our 2024 wins, shared our dreams for 2025, and exchanged valuable advice and support. As someone new to the Netherlands, it was exactly what I needed to connect with like-minded women. Isabel creates incredibly empowering and inspiring spaces. If you’re a woman in corporate looking for a community that supports your growth, I highly recommend joining her next event!

  • A few months ago, I attended Isabel's event, Women in Corporate Circles. At the time, I was very new to the city (Amsterdam), and this was one of my first outings in the corporate world. I found the event incredibly welcoming and thought provoking. I made several meaningful connections, and I felt both supported and heard. I would highly recommend attending one of these events if you're looking to meet like-minded women with similar struggles and challenges. Thank you, Isabel!

  • I've never attended a Networking event before Women in Corporate but the one organised by Isabel was actually very cozy and intimate, even for those less extroverts who might not have their best day, it was definitely enjoyed and worth the experience. I hope she keeps on helping women connect as she feels so natural while explaining and arranging everything :)

  • I had the pleasure of attending Isabel's very first Women in Corporate event and several of her Women Circles. Isabel has the talent of bringing people together in a warm setting, where she carefully curates a pleasant atmosphere of openness and support. The sessions are designed in such a way that you are effortlessly connecting with everyone in the room. You quickly find yourself brainstorming along with talented women on career aspects where you need guidance, and offering your wisdom in return. I loved the supportive, dynamic ambiance of it all, and the wonderful connections made.

  • I recently attended one of Isabel's Women in Corporate Circles events and it was an inspiring experience. The session was thoughtfully organized to encourage participants to step out of their comfort zones right from the start. Through a series of engaging prompts, Isabel fostered meaningful discussions that inspired deeper reflection with a growth-oriented mindset. I was able to connect with amazing women from diverse professional backgrounds, and left the event feeling professionally motivated and personally fulfilled.
