I Want to Come
Big Deal Energy™ Workshop
September 23, 2026
Over 2.5, very entertaining hours, you’ll work through the QUIRKS™ framework to develop your personal brand and become the unforgettable force you were born to be. It starts with questioning the “norms” or rules meant to keep you small, uncovering your Big Hairy Audacious Goal, identifying what makes you weird and remarkable, reframing your story to be unforgettable, knowing your value, and showing up as yourself consistently and authentically.
You’ll walk away with a plan, confidence and group of people cheering you on.
Uncomfortable Community Conversations: The Pause
September 24, 2026
This Uncomfortable Conversation is about what perimenopause and menopause looks like, what women need to know, what legal accommodations employers are required to make, and what all of this means for business owners and the people who work for them. This isn’t just a women’s health issue; it’s a workplace issue, a business issue, and a conversation that is long overdue.

Uncomfortable Community Conversations
Uncomfortable Community Conversations are where we tackle what some would say is the hard or taboo stuff – diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Frankly, the world would be a better place if DEI became everyone’s mantra. Growth happens in the uncomfortable, which is what we want for our community, small. businesses and you.
Talk is cheap, actions count.
If Not You, Then Who?
