LeadHERship Women Connect

Through storytelling, authentic connection, and courage, you’ll ignite your leadership superpowers and leave inspired to make a bigger impact.

Overview:

In a world of back-to-back Zoom calls and overflowing to-do lists… Do you ever crave something more meaningful?

Not another surface-level networking event — but something real. A space where you’re not pitching or performing — but seen, heard, and held.

That’s what LeadHERship (pronounced leadership) is all about.

This is a circle for powerful women leaders — founders, builders, creatives, and change-makers — who are ready to lead with heart, connect through authentic storytelling, and grow in sisterhood.

This gathering is for women leaders who are ready to rise — unapologetically, authentically, and together.

You’ll feel right at home if you are a:

• Founder or entrepreneur building something that matters
• Corporate leader or executive seeking deeper visibility and support
• Creative or innovator navigating leadership on your own terms
• Coach, consultant, or speaker ready to amplify your voice and presence
• Emerging leader stepping into your next level of influence
• A woman who’s done playing small — and is ready to own the room, the table, and the story

Because here, we don’t just network — we nurture.

We don’t just rise — we rise together.

1. Connection Circle

We begin with presence — not pretense.

Each person will share a 1-minute story from the heart: a glimpse into your why, your passion, or a defining moment that shaped your journey.

Who you are, what you do, and—most importantly—why it matters.
No titles. No small talk. Just realness, vulnerability, and truth.

This is where trust begins.

2. Heart-Led Speed Networking

One-on-one conversations, 10–15 minutes each. You’ll walk away with 5–6 authentic connections—not just contacts, but allies.

No pitching. No pressure. Just meaningful, heart-centered dialogue rooted in your story, your mission, and your voice.

3. Collective Reflection + Your Ask

We’ll close in the community by sharing one takeaway or any ask you have —something you are building, seeking, or calling in.

This final round is a celebration of your voice, your vision, and your next brave step forward.

• Because your story deserves to be heard
• Because your vision deserves support
• Because powerful women don’t just network — we rise through connection, courage, and community
