Relationships, Intimacy & Support
Being needed by many is not the same as being known by someone.
A discreet, sophisticated conversation the Institute holds with the women who carry the most.
What we explore
01
The loneliness of leadership
The room at the top is quieter than anyone admits.
02
Difficulty trusting others
The cost of a lifetime of self-reliance.
03
Relationships affected by overwork
The people you love, waiting for you to arrive.
04
Emotional availability
Being present, not just physically there.
05
Receiving care
Letting others carry something for you.
06
Partnership
Building intimacy alongside ambition.
07
Friendship
The relationships that hold you outside of role.
08
Family expectations
The people you cannot outsource.
09
Building reciprocal relationships
Not another audience — a circle.
10
Creating a personal advisory circle
The counsel around the counsel.
You are allowed to be known — not just useful.
