Hi, we’re Dana and Nahal, the faces behind Women’s Climate Commons. We created Women’s Climate Commons because, like many women, we’ve spent most of our adult lives focused on our careers and personal growth—but often felt lonely in the process.

Women who work in the climate space face unique career and personal challenges. We give so much of ourselves and face hard truths every day. Many of us are forging new career pathways, inventing new systems, and practicing a more feminine form of leadership. We collaborate, we listen, we solve hard problems. This is a powerful gift we offer to the world—but without the right support, space, and connection with other women like us, this work can slowly drain our precious resources.

Climate work is also deeply amplified by personal work. When we invest in understanding ourselves—our values, motivations, and patterns—we are able to lead with greater clarity, courage, and authenticity. Personal work allows us to dig deeper, give bigger, and offer the kind of leadership needed to navigate unprecedented challenges.

Yet much of the work we do to understand and untangle our careers—and ourselves—is done alone, or one-on-one with a professional. We’ve read the books, taken the courses, and put in the hard work in the office. While all of this helped us grow, eventually we realized that what was missing wasn’t more information, more hard work, or more advice—it was community.

So we took our combined decades of personal work, leadership training, facilitation experience, and professional practice and created Women’s Climate Commons: a space for women who are willing to be radically transparent about their aspirations and challenges, and who are ready to hold generous, supportive space for one another.

We hope you’ll join us on this journey forward—toward deeper community, toward rest and renewal, toward growth, and toward the kind of leadership our world needs now.
