The Empower RingTM – Community Rules
Â
Last Updated: December 2023
Pink Executives is building a powerful network of women leaders and our Community Rules inform the behaviors we expect members to embody and uphold at any and all times within our Community. They are designed to create an environment of empowerment and support based on curiosity, positivity, safety, and respect. We expect all members, coaches, trainers, Pink Executives team members, and guests to embody and uphold these guidelines at all times.
Our Community Rules govern current and future behavior and interactions in all official Pink Executives spaces, including Pink Executives-led and Member-led in-person and virtual experiences.
1. COMMUNITY PLEDGE
We SEE THE BEAUTY IN EACH OTHER. We are all beautiful human beings. We all have strength, and we all have weaknesses. It is all relative, it may vary by day, but most of all, it depends on what we look at. Every day, every moment, you make a choice as to what you look at. In this community we look at the beauty in each other, which is comprised of the whole of us.
We RESPECT each other for who we are and for our experiences. Someone being different than you can be uncomfortable at times, but that is exactly the place where you can learn and grow.
We practice INCLUSION. Everyone in The Empower Ring has a valuable role to play in creating the type of community we aspire to be, and we co-own the responsibility for that. That means we practice self-awareness regarding our own identities and how they inform our thoughts, actions, and interactions. We also embrace diversity by actively connecting with members of diverse groups. Discrimination and harassment of any kind have no place at Pink Executives and in The Empower Ring. Any behaviors that threaten the sense of dignity, well-being, and safety of our members, our team, or our contractors are not tolerated.
We are CURIOUS. Every single one of us is a valuable piece of this community puzzle. It is your job to find the value that a person brings to this community, not only for others, but for you! Connect with your fellow Pink Executives and get to know each other beyond member profiles and introductions!
We keep an OPEN MIND. There is always something to learn. If you ever find yourself thinking something like "that's stupid" or "eh, really?", it may be because your model of the world does not include that perspective (yet). It is the best time for you to change your approach, learn from others, and explore a different perspective.
We are OPEN TO REFLECT. If someone pushes your buttons, be aware that it is you who is putting the buttons out there for others to push. Don't blame another person for what you have not figured out yet. Thank them for bringing it to your attention. Allow yourself to be vulnerable and use this community of wonderful women to work through challenges and leave old structures behind.
We DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL, and we TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. We are human beings interacting with each other. The way we act, react, and how we say something, is influenced by our culture, our past experiences, and our current emotional state. When someone says or does something that could have said or done better, don't make it about you, because it is not. It is someone else working through their challenges. Take a step back and allow yourself a different perspective. If it is you who caused irritation, take responsibility, reach out, and make it right.
We give each other the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT and we are here to HELP and SUPPORT each other. If someone has a strong reaction to something you or someone else said, give them grace. What has been said likely hit a sore spot; an old wound that is still sore. Put your judgment aside. Approach that person with kindness and love, there is a chance that they need it.
We SHARE freely and with love. Whatever you share you’ll receive back double the amount. If what you share is shared freely and with love, intended to help propel the other person forward, you’ll reap the benefits of your investment. If what you share is to put you at an advantage, you’ll deprive yourself of your own success. In this community, we share openly and with love to help propel each other forward. Wherever you may feel resistance or limiting beliefs coming up, bring it to the community’s attention and we will support you lovingly in working through it.
We ACTIVELY ENGAGE. You think what’s on your mind and what’s happening in your day is not important? WRONG! In this community you have a seat at the table, and you have a voice, and we want to hear it! Sharing will show you that you’re not alone and it will open the door for others to help you. Also, likely someone else in this community needs to hear what you have to say. You are an important part of this community, and it is your responsibility to show up and actively engage frequently and consistently.
KINDNESS, LOVE, and PROFESSIONALISM governs our words and actions. We don’t talk sh**, we don’t gossip, and we keep the swearing down, too, because yes, you get double the ROI for that, too. Be mindful of your language and tone. There are plenty of positive words that you can use that bring far more success and happiness.
The community is a SAFE SPACE for members to share and grow. To ensure confidentiality (as per the pre-agreed upon terms and conditions), you must not record meetings, content, or conversations. This includes audio-, video-, screen-, and other recordings as well as any form of transcripts, including automatic AI transcripts (for example, if you have an AI transcribe app installed on your Zoom application or otherwise, make sure it cannot and will not access the meeting). Just don't, it's not fair to your fellow Pink Executives and it could cost you a fortune.
We are INTENTIONAL and practice SELF-AWARENESS. Each time you enter the community and/or one of our meeting spaces, be aware of and intentional about the energy you bring to the room. It is your choice and responsibility how you show up. Be considerate of others.
We are here to ENJOY our time together, learn and grow together, and have FUN together. Let’s Go!

We take all reports seriously. The Pink Executives team reviews all reports and will take action when appropriate.
If there is an incident that lands on a member or a community, we encourage you to reach out directly to other member(s) to talk through the concerns, if appropriate. We also recognize that the heavy lifting of these conversations often lands with marginalized communities and those who are harmed by the behavior. To that end, please reach out to the Pink Executives team for support and we will work with you on options to address the issue.
