    Rainmaking Circles

    The objective of Peer Coaching Circles is to provide ABA Women Rainmakers a forum where members will listen, guide and encourage each other regarding their career and/or life decision making. The members will consult regularly and willingly provide and receive feedback and suggestions on a variety of issues of importance to its members in a confidential environment. A Peer Coaching Circle will act as an accountability partner as its members work towards their professional and personal goals, and expand the use of their voices.
