Stop Settling for Good. Start Building What's Truly Yours.
Friday, September 11, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PMThe District Edina | Nine Mile Gallery + Event Center
Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, executive, nonprofit leader, or professional navigating your next chapter, this luncheon is designed to challenge the stories holding you back and inspire you to build a life and career that truly align with who you are.
At Elevate Her Network, we believe women are strongest when they champion one another. Our monthly luncheons bring together ambitious women from across the Twin Cities to build authentic relationships, exchange ideas, and leave with renewed clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Featured Keynote Speaker
Jen Grant
Speaker • Author • Founder of Permission Culture
We're honored to welcome Jen Grant as our featured keynote speaker.
For most of her career, Jen believed she was building the life she was meant to live. She had purpose. She had meaningful work. She had loyalty to the organizations and people she served. From the outside, everything looked successful.
But underneath it all, she realized something many women quietly experience:
Good had become the enemy of great.
In this deeply personal and thought-provoking keynote, Jen shares the story of recognizing that pattern, the courage it took to question it, and the freedom she discovered on the other side.
Part story, part reckoning, and part invitation, this message is for every woman who has built a life that looks successful on paper—but is beginning to wonder if it's fully aligned with who she is becoming.
Jen will leave you with a new perspective on your own journey and the permission to stop waiting for someone else to tell you it's time to build something greater.
During this inspiring keynote, you'll discover:
–Permission to question the "good" that's quietly settled in place of the great.
Sometimes what keeps us from extraordinary isn't failure—it's comfort. Learn how to recognize the subtle ways "good enough" can keep you from pursuing what truly lights you up.
–Permission to stop mistaking satisfaction for alignment.
Success doesn't always equal fulfillment. Discover how to identify whether the life or business you've built genuinely reflects your values, passions, and purpose.
–Permission to be your own lighthouse.
Stop waiting for validation, approval, or the perfect moment. Learn how to trust yourself, embrace your vision, and build your future without needing someone else's green light.
