Power of She- Amplify Your Voice: AI for Messaging, Marketing & Momentum
Amplify Your Voice: AI for Messaging, Marketing & Momentum
This April PoShe event continues our progression from intention setting, to clarifying personal brand, to now expressing and scaling that message using AI.
Women in business often know what they do and who they serve, yet struggle to consistently communicate that value in a way that attracts the right clients and opportunities. Join us for our April event to see how AI can support clear messaging, efficient marketing, and repeatable systems that expand visibility without adding more to an already full schedule.
Our PoShe focus is practical application. We will learn how to translate your brand message into a consistent content and outreach strategy, identify and reach ideal clients, and use AI tools to save time while maintaining an authentic voice. LinkedIn will be highlighted as a primary platform for professional connection, reputation building, and business development.
This will be a show-and-tell style session with real examples, prompts, and workflows that attendees can adapt immediately. A follow-up webinar may be offered for those who want deeper implementation support.
Our PoShe events foster a collaborative and supportive environment, encouraging women to connect, learn from one another, and uplift each other in their personal and professional pursuits. Together, we will create a space where every voice matters, and every story has the potential to inspire change.

Women in Networking (WIN) — March 18, Twin Cities, MN
Women in Networking (WIN)
We've added flexible ticket options to support accessibility and community care. We have plenty of space for you to invite your friends! WIN is a place to intentionally grow your network and share encouragement with women who lift each other up for success. You belong here.
For February and March, we’re making more accessible what WIN (Women in Networking) does best: creating welcoming spaces where meaningful connections happen. The theme for March 2026 Women's History Month, designated by the National Women's History Alliance (NWHA), is "Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future". Let's share ideas, input, and support with each other for all of us to have a sustainable future.
The WINners Circle is a mini-mastermind experience to share and receive ideas, input, solutions and support in a small group setting. Networking happens in a deeper way by diving in to encourage each other's professional success.
What's keeping you up at night? Chances are, you're so buried in your day-to-day work that fresh perspective and new solutions can be hard to see - but that doesn't mean they don't exist! With the support and input you’ll receive at this event, you’ll be ready to bust through barriers, apply creative solutions, and reach your next level.
Whatever challenge you may have, being able to brainstorm and get feedback from other professionals is hugely helpful in turning that idea into a plan, that challenge into an opportunity, or simply getting you unstuck and moving forward.
Each participant in the WINners Circle will receive:
Professionally facilitated time to ensure each attendee has an equal opportunity to introduce themself and their business/work
Time to frame their query to the rest of their small group
Solutions/suggestions/ideas/feedback brainstormed by the other participants
You may wish to use this time:
As a mini-focus group to gain feedback
To help you determine next steps
For finding potential solutions for a problem
For generating fresh perspectives and ideas
To get to know other professionals more in-depth
Here are some specific ways past participants have used the WINners Circle: gain insights before launching a new service or product; assistance to better define target market; ideas for fresh ways to reach prospective clients; feedback on how to amp social networking profile; help in clarifying a big goal; choosing between options for a title or new logo; input on pricing model--you name it!
Participants will lift each other up with their ideas, support and encouragement. You'll be in a small group to ensure plenty of time for each of you to share and gain valuable ideas and input from other professionals.
For this month, we've added flexible ticket options to make participation more accessible and community-centered.
Please choose the ticket option that feels most aligned for you — every participant receives the same warm welcome and meaningful experience.

Hot Seat Marketing Audit One member volunteers to share a current marketing challenge (social media, website, ads, messaging, lead flow, content, referrals, etc.), and the group will brainstorm practical solutions on the spot.
This is supportive, high-value, and incredibly powerful—because you’ll learn from her challenge and walk away with ideas for your own business.

Your website/social handles (for quick review if you volunteer)
Business cards or digital contact info
A notebook—because you’ll leave with actionable ideas
