WHAT MEMBERS SAY
From the community
Cindy Gallop
Founder & CEO, Make Love Not Porn
"I've been blown away countless times by how much TheLi.st 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."
Jessica Bennett
Journalist and Author
"Over the course of a decade, TheLi.st has helped me negotiate fees, up my rates, commiserate after heartbreak, and introduced me to some of my closest advisors. It is perhaps the only community that has led me to my IP lawyer, my speaking agent and my OB-GYN."
"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 — is nothing short of miraculous."
Susan McPherson
Founder & CEO, McPherson Strategies
LETTER FROM THE CEO
This community has the power to transform your career and your life—It has transformed mine.
I have devoted my career to helping women and the next generation step into their power. I was Editor-in-Chief of legendary media brand, Seventeen, I wrote bestselling book, The Big Life, and built a huge community around it for women who are redefining what means to be powerful and successful in the world. For everyone. For ever.
And even in the middle of a big career, when I first joined TheLi.st as a member more than 10 years ago, I had never experienced anything like it! The most high-impact, high-profile leaders in business, media, law, social-impact, entertainment were candidly sharing their asks, their anxieties, and their support. I came up in the “never let them see you sweat” era. This vulnerability and generosity was a revelation!
The community became my network when I need insider information and advice, my water-cooler conversations so I’m in the mix, my news feed when I need to understand how the experts were really thinking about the most complex issues of the day, and it my moment of togetherness at the end of a long week when you just want to know that you’re not alone.
My company, New Power Media, acquired TheLi.st in 2020, in the middle of the Pandemic when we needed each other more than ever. Together, we have deepened the community’s commitment to help each other succeed, expanded the diversity of our membership and broadened the footprint for both national reach and connected local hubs in major cities across the country.
I want everyone, at all stages of their life and career to feel the support we’ve created at TheLi.st and so we have launched 10 Minutes to Togetherness, a research-backed and expert led campaign to help everyone build their own network of support they need to succeed.
It is not an overstatement to say that this community changed my life. I hope you’ll join us and see how togetherness could change yours.
