LeadHERship Women Connect Meetup

**Step into your power as a leader, influencer, and storyteller in this transformative gathering of visionaries and change-makers.**
Through **storytelling, authentic connection**, and **courage**, you’ll ignite your leadership superpowers and leave inspired to make a bigger impact.

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.

**Who This Is For**
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.**

**What to Expect**
**1. Connection Circle**
We begin with **presence — not pretense**.
Each woman will share:
A **1-minute story** from the heart — a glimpse into your _why_, your passion, or a defining moment on your journey.
– Who you are
– What you’re building
– Why it matters
– And one **fun fact** about you — something unexpected, joyful, or just plain quirky
No titles. No small talk. Just **realness, vulnerability, and truth**.This is where trust begins.

**2. Heart-Led Speed Networking**
One-on-one conversations. 15 minutes each. You’ll walk away with 5–6 **authentic connections** — not contacts, but allies. No pitching. No pressure. Just meaningful, heart-centered dialogue rooted in your story and your mission.

**3. Collective Reflection + Your Ask**
We’ll close in community, with time for each woman to share her **one ask** — something she’s seeking, building, or calling in. This final round is a celebration of your voice, your vision, and your next brave step.

**Why You Should Join**
– 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**
