You…

• • Identify as a Creative, service-based business owner – specifically a Coach, Speaker, Marketing Professional or a service that compliments or is desired by Coaches and Marketing Professionals (Attorney, CPA, Bookkeeper, Financial services, Virtual Assistant, Software/tools for business, etc.)
  • Coaches, Trainers and Marketing Professionals make great referral partners for you!
  • You do most of your business in a virtual environment.
  • Appreciate hand-selected introductions over random breakout rooms.
  • Value an educational presentation on networking, marketing or sales topic.
  • Understand that visiting isn’t about landing a sale, but about looking for ideal connections for collaboration.

This varies per person, but our live meetings include:

• One 90-min Empowered Partner Meeting per month
• Option to either attend or apply to be a featured speaker on our Paid Workshop Series

The rest is up to you and your schedule.  We recommend having at least two 1:1 networking conversations with fellow members each month, and scheduling a little time to utilize the training in our “Elevate Networking to Your Superpower Course.”

What doesn’t work well for Creatives…

• • Being seen as a Prospect and “sold to”
  • Transactional networking conversations
  • Listening to dozens of introductions in large rooms
  • Describing their deep and multifaceted work in only 60 seconds
  • The grind of looking for Prospects one follow up call at a time
  • Feeling alone in marketing and networking efforts

Our Consciously-Created Networking Breakout Rooms…

• • Are hand-selected based on your title, services, and who you tell us you want to meet (feel free to do so). 
  • Are facilitated by a Leadership Team Member who welcomes you and helps facilitate the conversation so no one feels uncomfortable or manipulates the conversation.
  • Have the ultimate intention to help you connect with at least one aligned person for a follow-up call.  Please have your scheduling link ready!

• You won’t be “pitched” or “sold to”.  Instead, connections will focus on identifying Empowered Partners™ who share your audience, have a complimentary service to you, and want to get to know you with the intention of collaboration.
• You won’t waste your time listening to dozens of people introduce themselves.  I will have conscious introductions in smaller groups with aligned connections.
• You will receive invitations for aligned follow-up calls before you leave the meeting.
• 95% of our attendees report having at least 2 aligned follow-up conversations after they attend our meetings. 40% of those report 4 or more!
• You will focus on moving from searching for Prospects to Building Empowered Partnerships with fellow Creative entrepreneurs (especially coaches and marketing professionals).
