A Canadian professional community

Your next chapter.
Built with intention.

Some of today's most interesting careers no longer fit inside one job title. The Lattice is for senior women leaders building portfolio careers — varied, self-directed and designed on their own terms.

Inaugural Peer Circles begin fall 2026.

What We're Building

A professional home for what comes next.

Built around two things:

01

Trusted Peer Community

Curated, candid, and confidential.

Experienced women building more self-directed professional lives, learning from one another, and creating opportunities across the network.

02

Practical Intelligence

Online community and expert guests.

Honest conversations, practical tools, and ongoing support for building a portfolio career that is meaningful and financially rewarding.

Community comes first. Everything else is built on top of it.

Why Now

Women aren't stepping back. They're stepping differently.

Senior women are building advisory practices, expanding board work, launching companies, taking fractional roles, and assembling portfolios that reflect the full range of what they know.

The Lattice connects them in a vetted community where experienced women leaders learn from one another, exchange referrals and opportunities, and extend one another's reach.

Founding Peer Circles

Peer Circles for a New Shape of Work

The Lattice Peer Circles are designed for experienced women who are planning, building or strengthening a portfolio career — across board work, advisory roles, fractional leadership, entrepreneurship and other forms of senior contribution.

Each Circle brings together a carefully curated group of women who can offer one another informed perspective, candid challenge, practical support and useful connections.

Starting
October 14
Circle size
Up to 10 members
Term
10 months

A consistent circle

The same group meets monthly, allowing trust — and the value members offer one another — to deepen over time.

Facilitated, not programmed

Each online session is thoughtfully facilitated and shaped around the real decisions, opportunities and challenges members are navigating.

Built for portfolio careers

Responding to the needs of the group, conversations may explore portfolio design, positioning, personal brand, pricing and negotiation, board and advisory work, income mix, capacity and more.

This is not a course or conventional networking group. It is access to experienced peers who understand both the level at which you have operated and what you are building now.

Our inaugural Peer Circle begins October 14. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Lattice Membership

Opens January 2027

A vetted network for what comes next. Peer connection that generates referrals. Visibility that matters. Access to the relationships that open doors.

Who It's For

Participation is intentional.

The Lattice is for senior women leaders with more than two decades of professional experience, including significant leadership across companies, entrepreneurial ventures, boards, professional services, the public sector, or institutions. They are:

  1. Seeking a professional home base with access to resources, connections, and tools
  2. Moving out of a traditional full-time leadership structure — or having already done so
  3. Building advisory, fractional, board, entrepreneurial, or portfolio work
  4. Looking for peers who understand both the possibilities and practical realities of working differently
  5. Ready to contribute experience, perspective, relationships, and opportunities to the strength of the network

What connects us: A deliberate choice to work on our own terms and to build whatever comes next.

For Organizations

Access experienced leadership that traditional recruiting misses.

A network of accomplished Canadian women — vetted, active, and directly available for board, advisory, and strategic roles.

Who We Are

The founding team

We built The Lattice while building our own portfolio careers.

Along the way, we heard from Canadian women seeking the same three things: community, impact, and continued income.

So we created a place designed around exactly that.
