WE Gather with PURPOSE - A Monthly Series for Women Entrepreneurs

Are you ready to lead your life and business with greater clarity and intention? Join us for "WE Gather with PURPOSE," the inaugural event of our 2025 WE Gather monthly series. This interactive session is crafted for women entrepreneurs who seek to align their personal and professional lives with a deeper sense of purpose. Studies have shown that today’s U.S. consumers increasingly choose to buy from businesses that are aligned with purpose, valuing authenticity and social impact. By differentiating your business through a clear and compelling purpose, you can enhance customer awareness, gain consumer acceptance, and ultimately drive increased sales and profitability. In this session, we’ll dive deep into discovering, defining, and expanding your unique purpose—both personal and professional. Through guided activities, expert insights, and collaborative discussions, you’ll learn how to align your business with what truly matters to you, your clients, and your team. Together, we’ll create a foundation for purpose-led leadership that not only empowers you but also creates a ripple effect of positive change within your community and beyond. What to Expect: Discover your unique purpose through guided activities, including Richard Leider’s Calling Cards exercise. Learn how to draft a personal or professional Why Statement inspired by Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle. Gain insights on overcoming self-sabotage from Brianna Wiest’s The Mountain is You. Create a purpose-led strategy for your business with expert guidance. Connect with like-minded women in a supportive, heart-centered community. Together, let’s unlock the power of purpose to drive your business’s success and make a meaningful impact.
