Our Differentiator

We aren’t just about business and we aren’t only about self-care.
Instead, we focus on taking care of your whole self, growing within the areas that are important to you.
We approach our community and growth ecosystem with heart, openness, and collaboration.
We are built by women to support the unique needs of women but we are open to ALL.
Like the roots of trees that connect and nourish each other beneath the ground,
our members offer each other warmth, brilliance, ideas, friendship, and support.
Together we grow. Together we thrive.
In addition to workspace, in 2020 we offered more than 300+ virtual workshops on professional, business, personal, well-being, and creative growth.
Join our innovative community filled with passionate, honest,
and courageous women who believe and encourage each other to do their best work while also pursuing their passions.

Cogrowth Membership Grant

We lift up the women in our community who need an extra boost. By offering a Cogrowth Membership Grant to a minority woman owned business who may have barriers to joining, we are helping to create an inclusive environment with opportunities for more small businesses to grow and succeed.

"Adults need the same attention and care to their

"Adults need the same attention and care to their education, if not more. We're busy, we have our families, we have children, Who has time to study after you've received your higher education? So there had to be a change, and that change was Three T Institute." -- Mahjooba Bianchi, CEO, Three T Institute @mahjooba_3tMore than two years ago, we met Mahjooba at a @nawbodc networking event. I remember her telling me (Kate), "I am starting my own PMP training institute." Immediately I could feel her passion about making this into more than just a dense and money-raking program. As a fellow government contractor, I know how important that certification can be in propelling the success of government consultants. She joined Rowan Tree, where she, as she always does, made warm and meaningful relationships. And then pretty soon after -- Mahjooba took the plunge. She quit her day job and officially launched Three T Institute.We don't see her as often now because she opened her own training facility (hence today's inspiring Ribbon Cutting!!). But the reason for not seeing Mahjooba as much couldn't be better. Not only does Three T Institute offer virtual PMP training worldwide, but she has brought on top-notch coaches and trainers to help working professionals gain their certifications across a span of proficiencies including Project Management, #Agile, CompTIA, Leadership, and more.There's another reason that we feel so connected to Mahjooba and 3T's mission: They don't define success by the number of students and profit (though of course it's great!). They focus on helping their students achieve their place in the world. In 3T's words, "If we change the life of one or two people, we consider ourselves successful."Congratulations Mahjooba and team -- we can't wait to see where you go (and learn so much from you along the way)
