X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:I&rsquo\;m hosting a Women&rsquo\;s Business Social &mdash\; a super casual\, connection-focused networking event for women who own businesses and want to grow their local network.
\n\nAs business owners\, most of us want to grow our client base&hellip\; but more than that\, we want real relationships. \;
\n\nThe kind that naturally lead to support\, collaboration\, and referrals.
\n\nThis is your chance to come to a smaller\, more intimate event and connect with a powerful group of women who genuinely want to build community\, not just collect contacts.
\n\nThis is not about pitching each other.
\n\nThis event is for women who value collaboration\, real relationships\, and long-term connection over quick transactions.
\n
\nIt&rsquo\;s about sharing who we are\, what we do\, and building real connections &mdash\; so we can support each other\, refer each other\, and become pillars of connection in our local community.
\n\n \;
\n\n
\n \;
\n\nHow this will be different than most networking events?
\n\nEver gone to an event\, talked to someone&hellip\; and immediately forgotten their name?
\n\nYep. Same. ??
\nThat&rsquo\;s why name tags are required. \;
\n\nWe&rsquo\;re eliminating the &ldquo\;oh crap\, I forgot her name&rdquo\; moment right out of the gate.
\n\nEver felt awkward walking into a room\, not sure who to approach or how to jump into conversations?
\n\nI&rsquo\;ve got you. ??
\nI&rsquo\;ll be facilitating a few light\, fun icebreakers throughout the night to make connecting easy\, natural\, and actually enjoyable.
\n\nWho knows &mdash\; you might walk away with a new business bestie because you bonded over a random question. And honestly&hellip\; who supports your business better than a friend who understands what it&rsquo\;s like to build one?
\n\n(Exactly.)
\n\nThere will be light snacks and beverages&hellip\;
\n&hellip\;and there may or may not be a harmonica involved. ??
\n\nBring business cards if you&rsquo\;d like &mdash\; but more importantly\, bring your smile\, your openness\, and your willingness to just have real conversations.
\n\nBreak out that inner social butterfly. ??
\n\n \;
\n\n
\n \;
\n\nThis is not a pitch-fest.
\n\nIt&rsquo\;s a relaxed\, two-hour social designed to make meeting people feel natural again &mdash\; real conversations\, meaningful connections\, and space to actually get to know the women behind the businesses.
\n\nWhether you&rsquo\;re running a business\, growing one\, or still in the &ldquo\;figuring it out&rdquo\; phase &mdash\; you are welcome here.
\n\nCome to connect.
\nCome to be around women who get it.
\nCome to build relationships that don&rsquo\;t end when the night does.
\n\nNo pressure. No sales scripts. Just good humans\, good conversation\, and the beginning of a stronger local network.
\n\n \;
\n\n

\n\nFAQs
\n\nCan I bring someone?
\nAbsolutely &mdash\; just make sure they register. If we&rsquo\;re fully booked\, shoot me an email and I&rsquo\;ll double-check availability.
\n\nCan I show up late?
\nYou can\, but the event will start and end on time out of respect for everyone and the space. If you arrive late\, you&rsquo\;ll just have a little less time to connect.
\n\nThere is also a restaurant in-house\, so anyone who wants to continue conversations afterward is welcome to move things there.
\n\n \;

\n \;
\n\nI can&rsquo\;t wait to see you there!
\nThank you for choosing to come spend some time with me &mdash\; and for being part of what I&rsquo\;m building.
