Leave it to a group of women to come up with something so logical/effective/fun/collaborative. I'm envious.

This sounds amazing!! I’m going to see if I can drum up some interest among my friends to implement a goal setting club of our own.

Your club sounds amazing! Is there one person among you who typically keeps the others organized?

Haha, I can totally relate to the adoption of corporate speak away from the work desk! However, as you say, some of these office-related approaches are very helpful for our creative goals! I just posted a how-to guide on continuing creative projects while busy at paid work. Check it out on my Substack, I think that the Girls with Goals would be onboard!!

I had to look up bougie. It’s not a term we use here in Australia. I assume it’s derived from bourgeois?

Hi Chrissy, I read your first article of the two listed on Lens. I remember the column, but reading it in its new form was nice. I had someone recently ask for my volunteer time for an organization that I could only describe as you did: I gave so much and got so little in return. Run, don't walk!

Also, I used to hate that "give back time" statement. At best, it's inane. At worst, it shows poor time management that someone scheduled an hour meeting instead of just 15 or 30 minutes. Of course, I never pointed this out because the person saying it was always higher ranking!

Hi Chrissy, I keep coming back to this article because of how productive this idea sounds. I want to start a club like this. But I don't have a group of women friends. I only have one on one connections. I am wondering how I can bring them together. Can this work with people from different walks of life? eg: An artist, an Accountant and an HR?
