Join Elevate Her Network for our February Luncheon focused on Relationships & Referrals — and how authentic connection becomes your greatest business advantage.

This is not surface-level networking. It’s a curated, relationship-first experience designed to help women build trust, visibility, and referral-ready connections that last.

What You’ll Learn (And Why It Matters)

This session is built for women who want visibility that works with who they are — not against it.


✨ How true authenticity becomes your relationship advantage

Learn how to show up as yourself in a way that helps people trust you faster, remember you longer, and feel confident referring you — without overthinking or overperforming.


✨ How to make your LinkedIn presence build credibility & trust

Discover the key profile and messaging shifts that turn LinkedIn into your digital first impression — so when someone looks you up after meeting you, it reinforces exactly why you’re the right person.


✨ How to build a referral-ready network (without being salesy)

Walk away with a simple, repeatable approach to growing the right connections and nurturing them consistently — so referrals happen naturally through genuine relationships.


Relationships first. Referrals follow.



Why Elevate Her Network Luncheons Are Different
  • Small, intentional gatherings
  • Guided conversations (no awkward mingling)
  • Relationship-first networking
  • Women who value trust over transactions

Our luncheons are designed to create meaningful connections — not just collect business cards. You’ll meet new faces here.



This Event Is For You If:
  • You want better referrals, not more noise
  • You value authentic visibility and real relationships
  • You’re building a business or career rooted in trust
  • You’re ready to connect with like-minded women
