About this Event

Called, Not Copied: The Authentic Advantage
Lead Better. Close More Deals.

Most people believe they need to change who they are to become better at leadership and sales. This session will challenge that and show you how to lead and grow in a way that is actually aligned.

On May 20th, we are creating a space for aspiring and growing entrepreneurs who are ready to stop copying what everyone else is doing and start building something that actually fits.


🎀 Featured Speaker: Charles Watkins III

Host of the business radio show In The Cut

Charles works with business owners who have taken the leap and are gaining traction but are starting to feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to grow without burning out.

In this session, he will walk through:

How to lead and sell without losing yourself
Why working harder is not the answer and what actually is
How to build a business that supports both income and freedom
The early decisions that either create momentum or create chaos


πŸ”₯ What Makes This Different

After a short, focused session, we open up our signature Entrepreneur Hot Seat.

Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to come up, ask real questions, and receive live coaching in front of the room.

No breakout groups.
No surface level conversations.
Just real time clarity and value.
