Learn to invest in what matters,
with women who get it.

Join Lisa & Colleen’s Circle, a small-group experience built around Investing for Impact—a trusted course where you’ll grow your confidence and align your money with your values.

This Circle is underway. Please get on our list for future sessions.

Why Circles Work

Investing can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to. Circles create a rare space where women feel safe talking about money, asking real questions, and growing in confidence together.

Each Circle is small, supportive, and led by a peer who’s walked this path before. You’ll learn, reflect, and take action in community—free from judgment, jargon, or pressure.

Because financial power doesn’t come from going it alone. It comes from connection, clarity, and the courage to start.

What’s Included for $125

✔️ A 3.5-month experience with 7 live, small-group sessions
✔️ The full Investing for Impact curriculum
✔️ A personalized workbook + expert-vetted tools
✔️ Guidance and support from your Circle Leaders, Lisa & Colleen

When and How We’ll Meet

Biweekly on Wednesdays, starting February 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT.

What To Expect From Your Circle

One of the best parts of this experience is the women you’ll meet along the way. Your Circle will include 8–20 women who care deeply about building a better future and are ready to explore how their money can help make it happen.

Lisa & Colleen’s Vision for This Circle

We’re excited to lead an Invest for Better circle that brings women together in conversation, learning, and action around values-aligned investing. Our hope is that our group becomes a space where women feel empowered to explore their financial voice, ask bold questions, and gain the clarity and confidence to align their money with what matters most to them. Together, we’ll uncover the tools, language, and strategies that turn intention into action and impact.

Colleen Green

I’ve spent most of my life supporting mission-driven work in emerging and frontier markets. For more than three decades, I led and supported projects within the USAID ecosystem—particularly across East and Southern Africa and Eastern Europe—that operate at the intersection of finance, economic development, and private sector engagement, mobilizing capital for small and growing businesses. Most recently, I served as the Vice President of Economic Growth at the global consulting firm, DAI. With the dissolution of USAID in 2025, I am finding new ways to support impactful work, including through Invest for Better, which supports women to build financial confidence and align their capital with their values.

Investing Is Personal. And It’s Powerful.

When women take charge of their financial lives, everything shifts.

🌟 We gain confidence.

🌟 We build real wealth.

🌟 We use our money to shape a more just and joyful world.

This isn’t a finance seminar or a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a guided, supportive journey inside a small group of women—your Circle—where you’ll connect, learn, and take meaningful action.

Because when we invest for impact, we don’t just grow our wealth, we help change what’s possible.

What Makes This Different

Investing for Impact makes values-aligned investing more accessible, personal, and doable. The course gives you the tools. The Circle brings it to life—like a book club, but for your financial future.

Over 2,000 women have gone through this experience—and it works. Here’s why:

  • Designed for women by women

  • Grounded in real conversations and emotional connection

  • Easy to follow with minimal prep (just 30-60 minutes of self-study per session)

  • Packed with practical tools you can use immediately

  • Backed by experts who have your back

  • Centered around action—so you’re never just learning, you’re moving forward

This Circle is underway. Please get on our list for future sessions.

Our money has power, so let’s use it.

Because when we invest, we do more than build personal wealth. Right now, most money is tied up in systems that put profits first, not people. But when we invest for impact, we can change that—shifting industries, influencing decisions, and building a future that works for us.

What happens when we invest with intention?

  • Women entrepreneurs get the capital they need to thrive

  • Companies that prioritize racial and gender equity grow stronger

  • Sustainable housing, clean energy, and other community-driven solutions reach the people that need them most

A Peek Inside the Course

In seven powerful sessions, you’ll reflect, learn, and take action in a space that feels real, supportive, and yours. It’s honest. It’s personal. And you won’t do it alone.

  • Meeting 1: Understanding Your Money Story

    You’ll kick things off by connecting with your Circle and exploring your relationship with money. Begin the courageous (and often liberating) process of rewriting the stories that have shaped your financial life. Expect connection, reflection, and a sense that you’re not alone. 

  • Meeting 2: Taking Inventory

    This session is a true eye-opener. You’ll map out where your money is currently invested—many for the first time—and begin to see how your dollars are working in the world. What you learn here often sparks a lasting shift in perspective. 

  • Meeting 3: Beyond the Dollar

    In this session, we’ll uncover how financial institutions use your deposits and help you evaluate whether their values align with your own. You’ll leave with practical steps to regain agency over where your money sleeps at night. 

  • Meeting 4: Exploring the Stock Market

    Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been investing for years, this session will likely surprise you. From mutual funds to ETFs, we break down how the market works—and how it can work for you. You’ll walk away with tools to evaluate your portfolio with confidence. 

  • Meeting 5: Values-Driven Public Equities

    You don’t have to choose between doing good and doing well. This session shows you how to align your public investments with your values without sacrificing returns. 

  • Meeting 6: Private Investing for Direct Impact

    Crowdfunding, private equity, angel investing—welcome to the side of the investment world most women never get to see. Whether you dive in or not, you’ll learn what’s out there and why it matters. 

  • Meeting 7: Financial Advisors & Next Steps

    Not all financial advisors are created equal—and not everyone needs one. You’ll get clear on what kind of support (if any) you want going forward. Then, you’ll complete your personalized workbook and commit to next steps that feel authentic, doable, and exciting. 

This Circle is underway. Please get on our list for future sessions.
