“There is literally no community anywhere that could even begin to compare to the magic that is created within TheLi.st. The numbers of jobs secured, problems solved, funds raised, start-ups birthed, campaigns launched, and just pure goodness passed from member to member, is nothing short of miraculous.”

— Susan McPherson, Founder & CEO, McPherson Strategies
 
TheLi.st has changed my business and ultimately my life—having a place to ask any and every question, from business to personal with other like minded women, has been a game changing and nourishing experience for me that I’m so grateful for.
— Christina Blacken, Founder and Chief Narrative Strategist, The New Quo
I’ve been blown away countless times by how much the List has demonstrated the impact of women coming together en masse to lift each other up, spread word of each other’s successes, provide empathy and solutions for each other’s challenges, and promote anything that any woman on the List wants and needs promoted
— Cindy Gallop, Founder & CEO of Make Love Not Porn
Over the course of a decade, TheLi.st has helped me negotiate fees, up my rates, commiserate after heartbreak (professional and personal) and introduced me to some of my closest advisors. It is perhaps the only community I can say has led me to my IP lawyer, my speaking agent and my OB-GYN.
— Jessica Bennett, Journalist and Author
TheLi.st has changed my life many times over. My first book and podcast literally came from a subject line in an email I sent to the List (Do you ever hide in the bathroom at conferences?”) ... This group truly defines community; Listers have each others’ backs, even if we haven’t met in person. It’s created a global, powerful, yet deeply intimate and trusting network for all of us lucky enough to be a part.
— Morra Aarons-Mele, author of Hiding in The Bathroom, Founder, Women Online and host of The Anxious Achiever Podcast
At TheLi.st, every question, ask, offer and celebration is met with a genuine willingness to lift as we rise. This is community.
— Daisy Auger-Domínguez, Chief People Officer, Vice Media Group
To say TheLi.st has been integral to and intertwined with the last decade of my life—friendships, fundraising, failures, rebirths, literal births, leather leggings, book deals, birthday karaoke, board seats, and so much more—is an understatement. It has been my secret sauce and sisterhood in equal measure.
— Christina Wallace, Senior Lecturer, Harvard Business School
The Li.st is a closeness and trust unlike anything I’ve experienced, professionally. A lifeline. A foghorn. A beacon in the darkness, and radiant sunlight.
— Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times Best-Selling Author and TED Speaker
I moved to New York in 2011, staring down the task of creating a whole new life and network. I had the good fortune of connecting with TheLi.st and I would’ve never known then that being added to this group would be so important to my new life.
— Sehreen Noor Ali, Co-Founder, Sleuth
 

“TheLi.st is like having your mentor, coach, therapist and fairy godmother all at your fingertips with a warm intro to pretty much anyone in business, journalism or politics.”

— Julie DeLoca, Founder & CEO of LOCA Marketing
