Our Signature Experiences

Fall Conference

OCTOBER

Our year doesn't start in January; it starts in October.

Our annual fall conference brings together more than 125 women to set new goals, strategies, and action plans, guided by experts.

This event features our partners, sponsors, vendors, signature bites, mimosas, mock-mosas, desserts, and more!

Cohort

JANUARY - JUNE

After our fall conference, women ready to go deeper on plan execution and structured accountability wanted to know what's next. The answer – NN NEXT! Cohort – a 6-month guided program focused on negotiating power, positioning, access, and value. This experience is great for entrepreneurs, nonprofit executives, and those making major transitions within corporate settings or from corporate into entrepreneurship.

Day Party

MARCH

The IN-MOTION Day Party is a fun, relaxed event that invites our women to reconnect, introduce new ladies, and celebrate Women's History Month together. We don't just network, we goal-work!

Come ready to dance and sing too!

Summer Retreat

AUGUST

The Recalibrate & Refocus Retreat + Conference is a strategic pause – a summer weekend retreat that blends relaxation, rest, and deep reflection with strategic plan refinement to finish the current year strong — before Q4 demands set in.

It's Time to Own the Drive™!

Vision board parties are fun, but fall flat without written, actionable strategies. Women deserve more! Navigate & Negotiate '27 offers something far more powerful: a rigorous, strategy-driven experience for bold, ambitious women ready to redefine what’s possible.

Led by global speaker Princess Castleberry and growth strategist Nicole Lewis, this immersive event is designed for corporate and nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and practitioners navigating high-stakes goals, demanding schedules, and the complex intersection of ambition and well-being.

Over the course of this transformative experience, participants will engage in a personalized strategic planning process—moving beyond inspiration into real, measurable action. Through evidence-based vision mapping, guided reflection, and sophisticated planning tools, you’ll chart a clear course for your next chapter with intention and authority.

You’ll walk away with:

A prioritized strategic plan for 2027 with measurable milestones and accountability anchors
Clarity on how to align your personal ambitions with competing priorities
A plan designed to leverage your strengths, minimize risk, and create lasting momentum

Navigate & Negotiate is where possibility meets precision—and where women who are done playing small come to build what’s next.
