Whether you're building something of your own or leading from inside an organization, this one is worth showing up for. We're bringing together women in business for an evening that blends real conversation with real support.
You'll get a front-row seat to an honest fireside chat about AI and what it's actually doing for businesses right now, space to ask your questions and get them answered, and a first look at Get Tasked, a new AI-powered tool designed to help you organize your work and get more done without the overwhelm.
And because we know the best breakthroughs happen in community, the evening also includes mini hotseat and mastermind-style coaching sessions where you can bring a real challenge, hear fresh perspective, and leave with something you can actually use.
Come ready to think, connect, and walk away with more than you came in with.

Calm the Chaos of Cancer Workshop

Do you know someone navigating a cancer diagnosis?
After my 16th round of chemotherapy, my nurse looked at my lab results and said, "Your bloodwork is better today than when you first started treatment."
That moment reinforced what I had experienced firsthand: when we learn to calm fear, regulate the nervous system, and develop a healing mindset, we can better support our body's natural ability to heal while working alongside medical treatment.
CALM the Chaos of Cancer™ is a free workshop for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers who want to gain practical tools to reduce fear, manage stress, build emotional resilience, and become active participants in their healing journey.
If you know someone affected by cancer, please share this workshop with them. It may be exactly the support they need right now.
